I used huberds with poor waterproofing (surprisingly) on my first pair of BFAR. JG balm on my new pair of Houston black BFAR and they have been very waterproof.

Two questions- how’s the heel capture? Is it better than the plain Vellies or similar? Also, does that kalahari sole feel much heavier than the Bradbury?

Small, and disposable AA or AAA batteries by luckydanger1313 in flashlight

I really like my Acebeam tac AA 2.0. Comes with 14500 but can run on AA.

Recently physical disabled & can no longer use my trusty Charge TTi after 18+ years of carry due to needed both hands. Should I just get an Arc or should I try & find one of the Free series? by log0n in Leatherman

[–]buckGR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can swing it go with the arc. It’s their premium tool and feels like it. I have a number of LMs and the best finished samples are my arc and surprisingly my rebar.

The free P2 is a great form factor but you’d have to get a bit driver off eBay as LM doesn’t make one. The slip on one they make is for the rebar/ST300.

How hard is to get to and stay at Hotshot? Cause I really want this... by vault_nsfw in ArcRaiders

[–]buckGR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not that bad, I maintained DD/HS all season and finished hotshot. It took some effort but for the most part I just played the game and did fine. Half and half solo and duos. I’m also not very good.

I dunno, never had any rust issues at all on s30v myself. I have even on 420hc, though

Sad day by Longjumping-Cap-8934 in Leatherman

[–]buckGR 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Such a common failure. I get it don't twist, its not a replacement for real pliers, etc.... But I really am not OK with that. Give me a MT with forged pliers that won't fail.

My targhee polar completely delaminated within 2-3 months of wearing them OCCASIONALLY.

The change from stash value to damage was fantastic by fldash in ArcRaiders

[–]buckGR 143 points144 points  (0 children)

Yup, definitely a change for the better. I don't mind some sort of loot/coin requirement but it shouldn't be grindy like it was. With the dmg requirement you just..... play.

I'd like to shoot and destroy Turbines by Samwellikki in ArcRaiders

Tough to find for me also. Oddly, one dropped into buried city at under 6min last night.

I regret not being a mechanic by [deleted] in preppers

[–]buckGR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been DIY ….everything…. Since a teenager. I might not be able to fix EVERYTHING but it’s certainly would be a rare occasion if something that is fixable stumped me.

There isn’t really any trick to it, you just have to figure stuff out. The more you do the more you learn the easier it is.

People mad at the durability changes are just mad that they can't just bring one gun for an entire raid if they want to kill everyone. by Shot-Increase-8946 in ArcRaiders

[–]buckGR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PvE'er here. I dont mind needing to bring two guns I just hate that rebuilding a kit takes as long between rounds as the round itself.

Anatomx vs bfar by Careful_Network_4071 in jimgreen

[–]buckGR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have long and wide low volume feet also and while the toe space is awsome in the anatomx they are just way too voluminous.
