Deadman Offroad Kickstarter Now Live!

I'm #29. Got my Deadman, SWAG box, and hand written note. Pretty cool combination.

How are y'all folding/storing the Deadman to take up the lease amount of space?

I'm doing the folding/wrapping thing now, just wondering if anyone has something more efficient.

 

We do it like this: https://youtu.be/Diwreyj5pAY Basically, we fold it in half, then fold that in half to make a small square and then wrap the lines around it. For the new bag, it'll be even easier - just roll it up and drop it in.

 

My new black krazy beaver shovel is now mounted.

Also purchased the protective blade cover, which I painted black vs the std. orange.

 

Hmm. I'm backer 97 and all I've received are the soft d ring things and a shovel.

Can you look into that @DeadmanOffroad

Patch and sticker proof.

 

Sorry for the confusion @erok81 - did you receive our last update? We made a mistake with the list and a few people below 101 were accidentally skipped. This has been corrected; you should have received a shipping notice (or maybe the Deadman itself) by now.

Sorry about that!!

 

Heck yeah! Mine will be here tomorrow!!

 

Tracking info received!!!!! This is going to be a good weekend.

 

Would you happen to know what number you are?

 

#164

 

Oh my. I'm 320 somthing

 

Edit:

@Pirhett

Got the Kickstarter email which says they are shipped through to 168.

I’m 169. No joke.

Glad you guys are doing it right, and I have no problem waiting. I need this tool to perform the day I need it, and I’ll happily wait till it’s made to the standard you guys expect. I’d rather have the wait than false confidence in a tool that breaks when I need it the most.

 

My Deadman arrived. Ordered a bag from the website and got this done to put in the bag. Just cause better to be safe.



Cost me $2.91 @ Staples. Good deal.

Here is the other side.

 

Bump,

Anyone got to use one of these in the real world yet?

 

I'm trying to think of a place out here where you could easily bury that thing and the only one I can think of is Sand Hill....everywhere else is rocky and I imagine you'd ruin the Krazy Beaver shovel in short order trying to bury the deadman.

 

I think it definitely is best suited for sandy / silty areas. I have been stuck in such areas a couple times here in NV, once on the black rock, and another time @ pyramid lake. Both times I was easily pulled out, but if I was alone the deadman may have been pretty clutch...

I have taken several trips since owning it and just havent brought it with... simply because I was either with other rigs I could winch off, or I wasn't planning on being anywhere remotely sandy enough to use it. It also is very clunky to pack around.

 

This summer I plan to use it as a tree saver and a rock hugger etc in place where a sling would have been used. I figure it adds extra utility but the only place nearish me that is all sand, is the Oregon Dunes, and that is once a year at best. I still bought it though.
