    Was it just because it was to crowded? Im trying to justify it I would love to go but thats like a whole week I'm going to have to take off and it would be like ten tanks of gas

    I always carry a knife and have had a few gifted with engravings and it is a phenomenal gift

    I signed up for the whole experience - classes, demos everything. I found the organization lacking and spent way too much time in lines waiting for shit to happen.

    I did the same for my guys. I'd skip on the custom ones through etsy etc. (which are usually really bad knives and just expensive) and get a few Gerbers or similar from Amazon. You can get them laser engraved with whatever logo or name you want locally.

    i stayed away from the etsy ones as i figured that was the case. Just ordered them from another place online that had high reviews and a fair price. Hopefully they turn out great, its going to be terrible waiting to give it to them though.

    Those look cool. I got beersnap openers for my groomsmen. I really liked them and with 7 groomsmen I couldn't go too big as it would get crazy expensive.

    Yeah I have 4 groomsmen but her grandpa is walking her down and I got one for my dad as well so 7 total. I had to have one too! Plus it fits our country chic style as well.

    Yeah it adds up quick. I wanted to brew beer for them to include with the openers but ran out of time. So I just got them a six pack of their favorite beers.

    Here is our wedding video and it has them in it.

    With the crowd you run with, you'll need those for the mandatory reception monkey knife- fight. I got $50 on Coco.

    Got the backup camera mounted today. I can't see anything out of the back window and my guesswork has been pretty shitty lately. Don't know how I ever lived without one.image.jpg

    I love my back up cam. Never had one before and probably would have said they were for chicks, but now that I have one, it's great. I wouldn't mind every car from here on having that feature, and I'm sure the gubment probably will make that a requirement at some point anyway. It's handy.

    I back in everywhere. I absolutely love my backup camera. Whenever I drive her car (not often) I get angry when I look at the dash while backing up to not see a visual. Rage mode engage.

    Adding the camper + removing the tailgate (with camera) has made parking challenging in the last few weeks. It was frustrating looking up at the screen and just seeing blue.

    Some would say that it's a "crutch", but it's more like a 3rd eye. Stray children and wayward ferral cats are now safe when I'm backing up.
