Tell Us Your Tale

OK, you voyeur, you. Enough of reading other people's stories. It's time you told your own tale of gripping heroism or even just neat DIY'ism. We know there's a Shakespeare in you somewhere. Don't make us use the Steens to find it.

Locked Doors

As all outdoors men know when you're in the field after a long day of hunting, fishing, or any other activity outdoors, when you get done at the end of the day you wouldn't mind getting in your vehicle and driving home.
  
After fishing all day in the hot sun and getting done at dusk a friend and I figured we would head back to the boat launch. After returning to the boat launch my friend got off the boat and backed the trailer into the water, hopped out of the truck and slammed the door to help load.  The problem was that while exiting the vehicle he decided to lock the doors on the way out. So we loaded the boat and jumped down and I figured I'd try to unlock the truck doors. With the help of my light and good eyes I found an old coat hanger along the bank. Out comes the good old Blast multi-tool. My friend just laughs and says, "Not that thing again.  Must you use that thing for everything?" I replied that I usually do. After a few bends and twists of the ole Blast, the locks were open.
 
The Leatherman tools that I have acquired over the years are great products and they can get you out of a lot of trouble when you're in a pinch. Thanks Leatherman.
