Never had to ever sew anything before. We didn't dress dainty. Rip it wear it. Then duct tape it. or safety pin it. I'd hate to think what anyone would say if I were to sew something. Might not be invited over for football games or BBQ's. But to each their own. But I'm not thinking it's for me. Just seems kind of girly. Peace.

That little kit’s saved my bacon more than once. And, like I said, I sewed up a pretty nasty wound on a fellow trooper when we couldn’t get back to the rear for a couple of days. Nothing girly about that one mate. Cheers!!!

Thanks for showing the comparison between the blade thicknesses. From the photos I had suspected that the Signal had a much thicker blade than other Leathermans but without seeing them side by side it's hard to tell. I suspect they made the Signal blade so thick so that you can baton with it and the blade wont bend. I ordered a Signal a couple of days ago and it should be here today. Looking forward to seeing it in person and taking it out on some adventures.

@@jimbriggs3065 What kind of upgrades would you do? I have seen that you can get aftermarket parts two swap the sharpener for an extra bit holder which would be handy. Also if it was up to me I would swap the can opener for a prybar with file on the side and could still keep the wire stripper on it too. Pry bars are always handy whereas can openers are almost obsolete, especially with the freeze dried hiking foods we have these days.

@The.JZA. For me, I wouldn’t swap the diamond hone out but make it twice the size. Same with the ferro rod, it needs to be bigger. I’ve made around 25 fires with it so far (one in bad conditions which ate up a lot of it) and I maybe have 25 more depending on conditions. Totally agree with you about the can opener! A pry bar/file’s a great idea but personally I’d like to see a crooked knife replace it. Finally, I’d like to see it with scissors. I’m not sure how they could fit that in without changing the profile which I quite like. Cheers mate!!!

The best sail makers needles you can buy in the UK are by W. Smith and Son, of Redditch. "Made by hand, and not to cut the twine", "forged best cast steel". Always have a couple, different sizes and pre-threaded in my kit. Great informative video. "Housewife" in this context is a corruption of "Hussif" .

@@jimbriggs3065 Jim , I think it's an Old English/Anglo-Saxon word that means "housewife" ! There other variations of the word in the various regional dialects of England. Collins Dictionary says the word, meaning a sewing kit has been around since the 1750s/1760s. Tell you a wee story, I once bought a replacement from an army surplus shop, as my old army one was beat up and running out of green and khaki thread and missing the fantastic fold-up scissors. Bought a replacement that was "old stock, unissued" . Opened it up when I got home, needles OK, folding scissors OK. Looked for the thread , instead of the usual small reels of khaki, green, black and white there were 3 reels of dark blue thread. The woolen darning thread for reparing socks was also dark blue, instead of the more usual dark green. Looked at the small packet of buttons that come with the kit, when I saw six brass buttons, with anchors on them it became obvious to me, I'd got myself a Royal Navy kit, not an Army one ! I really enjoy your homely posts keep 'em coming.

@clivedunning4317 I’m thinking Hussif sounds better than Housewife! Believe I’ll use it from now on. Thanks for that. So, did you chuck the blue thread and the buttons in the rubbish bin? Got a wee story myself about thread color. I used khaki green thread to sew up that fella in the field. I was in trouble sewing him up and not sending him to the rear. They accepted my excuse that we were scouts and didn’t come out of the field for small stuff…then complimented me for my choice of thread color! Cheers mate!!!

@1stminnsharpshooters341 you’ll love the area, you cannot choose a bad spot. Example: can see stretched, dried wolf pelts, hand crafted products, drift wood, salmon so strong wrestling the fish on the hook to try to control what will happen, this direction is where all Minnesota twin cities citizens go when they want to experience real nature, peace and quiet. Some people have “Anxiety, are fearful” of coming to the upper Minnesota area, because the wilderness is so great Moose, Wolf, Bear, Lynx, Eagles, almost rule, just not in populated areas. Bike paths along lake superior, shores with Pink or Black or Grey Basalt rocks. Huge Agates, surreal nature scenes. That area has all the best affects on a person.

Friend, you shoot a grizz with that soft lead 410 buckshot out of a 2 1/2" barrel going maybe 700fps, it's going to glance off that bear's skull or if it hits the body, it will not hit the vitals or break the bear's bones. It will just enrage the bear and he will tear you to shreds. Don't believe me? Look for KZbin gel tests of short barreled pistol 410 buckshot tests in ballistics gel. 8-11" penetration at best, which would work on a human because there are multiple projectiles, but would WAY underpenetrate on a bear. Load that Judge up with Underwood or Buffalo Bore 45 Colt heavy hardcast rounds which will penetrate the entire length of a grizz and you'll have a fine bear defense pistol. Stay safe out there. Just be sure to check your owner's manual first to make sure your gun will handle those hotter rounds. Buffalo Bore does make a reduced recoil 45 Colt heavy hardcast round that's safe for all modern 45 Colt pistols FYI. -John
