Ugh! Lost my EDC!

Sorry to hear Garry. I went looking in the car park here and could not find it. I’ll send it back if I see it. :frowning:

…If you love something, Set it free… If it comes back, it’s yours, If it doesn’t, it never was yours…. :slight_smile:

Definite flashaholic right there!

Hey Garry, THANK YOU for being the 1st replying to my thread.

I REALLY feel your pain.

A few days ago, I lost a “pen” 25cal single shot Derringer.
I used it for show more than anything else.
I don’t know what made me get it out for fresh air.
No one to show it to either.
I carry way more powerful weapons.
Even my knives are more effective.

My loss is irreparable. No chance in hell to find another.

I cried (no tears) for like 2 days. And looked 100’s of times in the SAME places.

I’m over it now. Everything happens for a reason.

There’s always someone more screwed than you.

Carlos.

I just got convoy s2 host :slight_smile: nice tube light even with leftover xml2 t6 3c and hls pwm driver… waiting for t5 80+cri led and qlite from intl, then it will be one of my favorites :slight_smile:
I feel your pain but hey, you can upgrade if it doesn’t show up!

If you carry the light every day then the chances are great that it will eventually get lost. I lost my Thrunite T10 AA flashlight. It was a nice EDC light that packs a small punch in light output.

I FOUND IT!!! I must have dropped it while snow blowing my driveway. The snowblower must have picked it up and tossed it! It's really knicked up with a nasty slice off the front bezel, but I picked it up, clicked it on and it works perfectly. I think I heard the angels in heaven rejoicing when I spotted it!

Here's pic showing the worst of the damage:

It looks worse than this pic shows, not awful, but I'm going to have to file down some sharp edges where the knicks are.

congrats on finding it, looks pretty okay for going through a snow blower, i can imagine a lawnmower chopping it in half (which would make for an interesting photo)

i’m surprised the lens is not damaged

And now you know that it really is yours. :slight_smile:

Congrats! You’re a very lucky man!
You should give the light an upgrade for doing so well. :slight_smile:

Great you found it, not so great condition though.

I was just thinking. I had an unprotected 18650 inside. Going through the snowblower could have really made for an exciting situation!

A true testament to the durability of these Convoy hosts! Why would I need a SureFire EDC? I'd just have been out much more money and more ticked off that it was lost!

Samsung's safety validation for unprotected cells includes charging at 2.8 amps at both +12VDC and -12VDC(!) for 2.5 hours, short-circuit for 3 hours, and a bake test of 130*C for 1 hour, along with various drop, puncture, and vibration torture. The cells must survive with "no fire, no explosion" - they may not be usable any more after that abuse, but it's unlikely they'll kill you. :)

Now it looks mean! Glad you found it. I too found my lost T50 this past week, feels good to get it back.

Poor baby!

Next time let it watch through the window with a cup of cocoa while you clear the driveway.

Happy ending, and a battle scar to prove it.

You think the garryBezel will catch on?

Awesome. Looks like that guy is back from war!
