Ugh! Lost my EDC!

Sweet, congrats.

So I tell my wife the other night about finding my EDC and how it went through the snowblower and all that. Her response: "Well I don't understand how that light is any different from what you could buy at Harbor Freight." It wasn't worth my energy to try to explain and she wouldn't care anyway.

Clearly you need to buy one of every light at Harbour Freight and feed them one at a time through the snow blower till she understands the difference. Also make a video of that and you tube it for us.

No, IMO it is not worth explaining it, moreover I find it a healthy situation that I have my own piece of world that is alien to her, and so has she . As long as there is enough in common, it's fine like that.

Awesome that you found it and that it survived, Garry! Instant character on that light. Kinda like scars on a guy. Each one tells a story. Usually they are worth telling. Yours is!

Glad you found it! Now, get a better clip! I use a cheap figure 8 caribiner thingy for my Qlite, 3C XML-2 Noctigon roche.

So how do you clip it? Lanyard? Gotta pic?

-Garry

I use a small, 1inch loop of chord through the lanyard hole and clip the light to either the pocket or the loops for my belt.

Now get rid of that crappy clip .lest you lose it again .

Missed the good news the other day when you found it!!

Good feeling, isn’t it? :slight_smile:

Document this, in case of divorce make sure she gets all the Harbor Freight lights.

Gj is making some good points, and making me laugh at the same time! :wink:

You could always do like me, put insurance on your EDC. You know, just in case?

<——one of a kind, non budget EDC

you can actually get insurance for that?

I’m a photographer, have insurance on my equipment, added the Texas Poker to my policy as a work related light. :slight_smile:

well done! :slight_smile:

I would still be very upset if I lost it though, as there is a lot about this that has sentimental value of sorts, while it might be replaceable, it wouldn’t be the same. And there can only be one first one-of-a-kind. Anything else is just a copy. lol

Glad you found yours, I thought for a moment there we were about to see a typical BLF moment of kindness……

Geez! Now tonight I almost lost my EDC knife! We walked out of a restaurant and my 8 year old daughter says "what's this" pointing to my knife barely hanging on a thread of her coat! I was like "WHEW!" (Her coat had been hanging on my chair in the restaurant.) Maybe clipping things to my pockets isn't such s good idea after all! I mean, I never ever lost my Swiss Army Knife that I carried for years.

(Current EDC knife is a Kershaw Volt ii I paid about $28 for.)

These things come in three's

lanyards. lanyards and clips are your friends

lanyards keep breaking :frowning:
the one that came with my digital camera is still going 9 years later, but flashlight ones last a month or two, i have damaged some lights because of lanyard failure.
