Empty Your Pockets!

**LazyMan** · 06-23-2011, 05:16

Last week I did an overnight at a state park in Minnesota. My buddy and I both had ENOs. I forget to take my knife and sheath off my belt and start lounging away, next thing you know Im on the ground wondering what just happened. Turns out the handle of my Grohmann #1 (awesome knife BTW) split my ENO in two.
So a word to the wise. Empty those pockets!

Anything sharp for that matter.... studs buttons on pockets, belts.

...probably a subconscious act on your part to get yourself a new hammock

Maybe it was. Those WBBBs are looking good! Either way its a lesson I learned. Mistakes like that happen, once.

everything always gets emptied into the shelf of my WBBB before I sit/lay down.

Altho I do attach a few safety pins to my cargo pockets and do not usually take those off

So true.

Thanks for the tip - I'll need to control my sharp wit.

Thanks for sharing. I often find myself climbing in with keys or some other hammock hazardous material in my pockets--been lucky... now it's time to be smart

BTW "Empty Your Pockets"--I hear that phrase in dark alleyways that I shouldn't be in at night, every time I see taxes taken from my paycheck, and from the Missus everytime I come back from Lowe's or Harbor Freight and Tools. It's the universal phrase of danger
