Another Gadget

I think I’ll stick with my small forest axe, and silky saw. They have never let me down. The shovel looks pretty useless, and I’d rather have the Swiss Army knife in the magazine then the knife they put in the handle, the axe will do most of what that one will. Some things just are not worth saving the 2-3 oz on esp when your life may depend on it.

Yes I know those who have met me will say what does a fat man know about this... lol but there was a time I lived for the outdoors , and there will be again soon.

I agree here. If it was $75, maybe it would be worth throwing under the seat of the truck. But the price tag is

I just showed this to a 10 year old. He was not impressed. It reminded me of this youtube video.

The price is total nonsense.

To each his own for tools I guess.

I asked the wife for a Pulaski for Christmas. After questioning why in the world I "needed" one, she ended up checking that off my wish list.

Well, she asked me to get rid of an old tree today. Guess that Pulaski turned out to be useful after all. It made quick work of the old tree and helped me easily remove the stump.

Maybe now she won't question me the next time I tell her I "need" an obscure tool.

Yah, I was thinking just buy a Pulaski when I read the kickstarter bull.

For real.

The Pulaski I got is a shorter version better suited for camping and home use than it is digging fire lines. It even has a full steel end cap if you need to hammer something. So yeah, it does everything this Kickstarter thing does but better. For less than a 1/3rd of the kickstarter price. Is it light? Nope, but who's legitimately going to throw a 3.5lb transformer tool in their backpack anyway? No one. And this sort of tool needs weight to effectively do what it's supposed to do.

172 backers at $100k. That's insane.

Most successful Kickstarter campaigns are already funded before they announce and anything they get over the goal is a bonus. There is no way 172 random people funded this because they thought it was a great idea.
