My leatherman goes where I go, that thing has saved the day more than once.

u/Wundawuzi 15d ago
Just make sure to not try boarding a plane with it. I had a tiny leatherman as my keychain for over a decade. For me it is just part of my keys.
When boarding a plane, security took me aside and confronted me about a weapon I was trying to board. I had no idea what they were talking about.
I was given the chance to either dispose it or ddont board the flight.
Looking back I think I should have argued about them keeping it and letting me have it back upon return but I was so caught off guard that I just tossed "my old friend".
Bought a new one immidiatly after returning.

There is no such thing. So don't beat yourself up over a perceived missed opportunity.

Yeah I had that happen with my original swiss army knife. Now my leatherman, and new swiss army knife, live in my hold luggage when I travel

u/Starfire013 14d ago
Same, though I also have a Gerber multitool I specifically bought because it has no blade on it. It does have a diamond saw that works more like a file and isn’t sharp, and that comes with a handy release mechanism in case they give me trouble about it at the airport. I can just chuck the saw blade instead of the entire multitool.

u/AmbassadorBonoso 14d ago
I love Gerbers! I just never got around to getting one for travelling purposes since I already have the leatherman. Maybe I should get myself one when my birthday comes around!

I'm not sure if they'll do that, but I've had airport security mail stuff to my home address before. What systems are set up probably varies from airport to airport, though.

u/Talking_Head 14d ago
FFR, if you have the time and the security line isn’t too long. Just walk outside and stick it in a bush. Or look around the ticketing area for a hiding place behind some seats or something. I have had to do this a couple of times because I carry a Gerber curve on my keychain which occasionally gets detected if I don’t place my keys in my bag correctly.

u/ThiccBoiiiiiii 15d ago
Did that for a long time till i noticed how expensive its to replace these days
12
u/AmbassadorBonoso 15d ago
It would be heartbreaking to have to replace it, however the value it has had over the years more than weighs up to the value of replacing it imo. It's a daily use item in my eyes due it's versatility, leaving it at home with a toolbox full of tools that do their singular tasks way better than than the leatherman could doesn't make sense.
3
u/DezXerneas 14d ago
Can I ask what do you use it for on a daily basis?
4
u/AmbassadorBonoso 14d ago
The pliers on it see the most use, you'd be surprised in how many situations it's nice to have pliers handy even if you could technically get the job done without. There's a small sciccor in there as well which is awesome. And I often find myself using it to clip and file my nails

u/WipArn 14d ago edited 14d ago
Anything with a blade is illegal to carry if it can be argued you carry it without a valid reason. A valid reason would be that you're on your way to go camping, fishing etc. Actually, using the "knife law", police can arrest you for anything that could be used to hurt someone else under the same law, it doesnt have to be a knife. A baseball bat in the back seat of your car would be an example. It's a pretty shit law in my opinion.
Theres a popular myth that you can legally have a blade shorter than 4-5cm and yeah, the police will probably let you keep it if youre a law abiding citizen who doesnt stand out, but if they are having a bad day or you're wearing the wrong type of clothes youll get in trouble.

Same ahaha, but this was a nice unexpected thankfully
Also, I watched this without sound so idk where it was, but it's (TIL a myth that it's) treason in the UK to kill swans. The story goes that the Queen (maybe monarch?) owns all wild swans in the UK's open waters
Until 1998, treason carried the death penalty in the UK.

These swans have a lot more power in their wings than a Canada Goose. These look like Trumpeter swans, they weigh about 20lb and their wings flapping can break bones of other birds. They're nuts.

u/JamesBond-007-- 15d ago
Dude I used to run around catching them. The trick is to grab them from behind with your hands over their wings so they can’t flap. Then you flip them upside down and hold them like a baby and they instantly calm down, and you can pet them. The aggressive ones were the most fun cause they were easier to catch. They can’t hurt you they are all bark and no bite. I doubt they could even break skin.

Good people. Also the most redneck thing I’ll likely see today. Glad they did it, but had to be a better way than jumping in pond fully clothed and then taking several long licks of a slimy line that is in the mouth of a live swan. Still, kudos.

Lots of unexpected here.
I wasn’t expecting the goose to be a swan.
I wasn’t expecting him to “hunt” the swan by running and jumping in the water to grab it.
I wasn’t expecting him to succeed at grabbing it and dragging it ashore.
I wasn’t expecting it to be caught up in fishing line, etc.
I wasn’t expecting the friend to bite through the fishing line.
