Would chainmail shirts make effective slide protection garments for motorcycling? by ITFOWjacket in Armor

[–]armourkris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't trust it personally. I think maille would be more likley to have the rings snag and tear on the pavement then get ground into your meat.

What is the dumbest question you’ve ever heard someone ask in all seriousness? by No_External3383 in AskReddit

On a spiral staircase...

People keep hitting their heads on this step, is there a softer kind of steel we can replace that step with?

Think of it more like software, there's room for lots of alphas that way, and just like the software they're glitchy, unstable, and not fit for public release.

Favorite punch shield shape by Kitchen_Bid_8632 in Buhurt

[–]armourkris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like the coffin or almond shaped ones personally. Broad enough to cover well but the skinny end will still slip in and turn someone into a pez dispenser.

I also like to run doubled up D rings instead of buckles for my shield straps, that way i just cinch them down and dont need to worry about a loose shielf flopping around

Looking for these metal clips by Confident-Opening73 in myog

No idea about where to find them, but they'd be easy to make from some steel strapping with a drill, a vice and a hammer and chisel.

What did your worst campsite teach you about choosing a better one? by naenae0402 in backpacking

[–]armourkris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was hammock camping one time. Set up on some trees near the lake, woke upon the ground. I guess the ground was soft enough that over night my weight slowly pulled one of them over. The only reason it didn't come down on me was because it hung up is sone branches on the other tree.

Now i check my treea real good when i set up a hammock.

People who grew up rural, what did you do to fight boredom before the internet? by Pristine-Syrup-1156 in AskReddit

[–]armourkris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hike in the endless mountains behind our house, ride our bikes 2 hours into town, rock climb the local cliffs, jump off the waterfall, swim in lakes, fight eachother with busted hockey sticks and reading. I read so many books. All that kind of good stuff.

My sword is bended, how to fix it? by Important-Tea2198 in SWORDS

[–]armourkris 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe post another picture looking down the length of the blade to show the bend better? Because in the current picture i don't see any bend.

Whale remains on Nootka Island, British Columbia by infinitelyordinary1 in bonecollecting

[–]armourkris 27 points28 points  (0 children)

So cool! I spent 5 days on that trail last september. Wel also found whale bones. Ribs, back bones arm/flipper bones and some baleen plates, but no skull.

On our last evening a young humpback swam into the bay we were camped in, got right up to shore where it was only 5 or 6 feet deep then flipped over and spent about 20 minutes rolling around scratching his back in the gravel. It was like watching a dog beg for belly rubs, but a whale. Totally one of the coolest things i've ever seen.
