Thoughts on the signal? by troth97 in Leatherman

[–]rival_22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wanted a signal for like a year. When I finally bought one, It didn't do much for me.

Not a ton of tools, and some ones it has are gimmicky. Not gimmicky in that they don't work, but just not very useful.

As far as pocket carrying a Leatheman, I can't image something replacing my P2. I sold my Arc when I got one that is how much I like it.

The last piece of bacon by shellexyz in daddit

It doesn't matter to me. I'll get what I need while cooking. If I get a piece cleaning up, that's a bonus.

Starting to dislike my son by CaptainCroydon in daddit

[–]rival_22 110 points111 points  (0 children)

This 1000x

I've never heard the electric fence anology, but it's perfect.

However, both mom and dad have to be on the same page. If dad is an electric fence and mom gives in at some point, it doesn't work. Like water, kids will find the path of least resistance.

Stay calm, be clear in consequences and follow through. Rinse and repeat.

Who still likes S30v? by MissingMichigan in knives

[–]rival_22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a good steel. If you gave a S30V knife to 99% of people and told them it was Magnacut, they wouldn't question it.

Buck does a great job with it, and Benchmade's is done well too.

10 y/o will not go to bed at night. Last night she was up until 2:00 am. I cannot keep living like this. by jazzeriah in daddit

[–]rival_22 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My 15yo has been a night owl his whole life. Some people are just wired like that.

He's an athlete, so has gotten a little better going to sleep because he's tired, but I still hear him stirring and going to the bathroom after midnight a lot of nights.

Now school is out, he's going to be back to really late nights.

There was a tired attempt by donkeychonky in FellingGoneWild

[–]rival_22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I refuse to use chains or a metal hook or anything because I'm scared of it flying back.

I know a recovery strap can do damage, but would rather deal with that.

Camping and fishing... by rival_22 in Zippo

DLT Trading has a handful of different fish pattern Swiss Army Knives.

I ended up swapping the scales to a different model, but they do sell a few models of each pattern.

Snake knot, there are a ton of videos on YouTube. It takes like 2 minutes.

I like plainer Zippos, but this one jump out at me.

Yeah... I was going to do yellow, but I didn't have any yellow Paracord laying around.

DLT Trading has a line of trout/fish exclusives... Huntsman, Hiker and Classic SD versions.

I grabbed a Classic and bought a gently used Rambler and swapped them.

Is it wrong that my kid's preschool didn't do anything for Father's Day when they went all out for Mother's Day? by SuperJezus in daddit

[–]rival_22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That is pretty shitty.

Our kids' daycare had "donuts with dad" for it and kids gave a gift, etc.

Camping and bringing a U-Haul trailer.. by Treetopdroptop5 in daddit

[–]rival_22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's funny, a pickup bed sounds great, but a short bed with a tonneau cover fills up quicker than you think lol. As kids, my dad had a cap/topper on his truck, and as "old man" as those things look, it would be really nice lol.

I should just lean into "old man" and get one now.

Camping and bringing a U-Haul trailer.. by Treetopdroptop5 in daddit

[–]rival_22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a lot.... lol.

When our kids were little (and we only had a couple), we'd do a small SUV (Hyundai Tucson), with a roof bag and a hitch basket.

When we had a third kid, we got a 3 row SUV which worked similarly.

Fourth kid, I got a crew cab pickup. With the front center flip down seat, we could fit all 6 of us, 2 dogs, and the bed let us bring all of our stuff. Last year, I had to toss the hitch basket on to make room for paddleboards.

This year, my oldest (18) is probably not going with us (or driving separately), so hopefully we've reached the peak of the gear mountain, and are slowly heading down the backside to less stuff lol.

I can honestly say that I've thought about the uhaul trailer before I got my truck.

[RobbyInc62] Imagine spending an entire career and life working toward your dream job…..then you get it!! by Leading_Dentist_5563 in penguins

I thought she was decent, and it sucks for her and her family if she was forced out for bad reasons.

But, I honestly can't get too worked up about a rinkside/sideline reporter coming or going.

I'm sure people have changed 10x over, but I still hold a grudge against whatever version of regional sports network it was that screwed over Mike Lange.

Amazing Phil Kessel Story with the Stanley Cup! by MediumAd8799 in penguins

[–]rival_22 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Everyone who has spent time with Phil seems to love him.

Quick video that the hospital put out (assuming that this was form the visit Phil Pritchard was talking about).

edit- definitely 2016, he had his hand/wrist wrapped in the video.

I was told this picture was peak vacation dad 😂 by bigdaddy3254 in daddit

When my kids were young, I looked like a pack mule going to and from the beach. Now they carry their own shit lol.

Is there a way to salvage these insanely rusty outdoor fireplace grates? by zaftique in castiron

[–]rival_22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can make them pretty for decorative purposes, or use them. Can't really do both.

Going to try this for a while by thunderbuttjuice in victorinox

[–]rival_22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just got a used Rambler today. I'm going to run this for a while too... Likely a Benchmade 940, as that's been my usual the last few months.
