You would do well to remember those who are out there saving you from yourself when you're living the results and consequences of actions; which you did not completely think through all the way. #EMS #fire #1stresponderowned #1stresponders #paramediclife #paramedic #emt #nremt #code #priority1 #trauma #consequences #lifesaver #heartbreaker (at Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA_CsllpDf4/?igshid=13ldpcicnxo7g

We use this awesome barrel stave bottle opener from @regimentbarrelworks all the time. Unfortunately, it doesn't travel as well as it works. We tried an #edcgear move but it just didn't fit in our @missionworkshop #Rhyte. Head on over to regimental barrel works and let's get them sold out of their stuff. As a #specialforcesowned business and as extremely skilled artisans they put as much into their artform as they did securing your freedom in combat. Who can't get behind that??? #Challengecoin #challengecoins #regimentalbarrellworks #phoenixchallengecoins #edccommunity #custom #bourbonbarrel (at United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM)) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9KeGHEJr0e/?igshid=ni3nb1slywbj

Challenge Coin friction wear and enamel fragility in an EDC environment. Yeah...they are real things and continuing on the theme from my late post yesterday. They will happen when you actually carry a typical challenge coin everyday. It's part of how we know we know that 99% of the #challengecoin posts claiming #edc carry are #marketing #schtick and nothing more. Before a flurry of posts appear trying to climb bs pretty much the only exception is a raw base metal which sports no post process finishing or coins sporting #phoenixchallengecoinsarmor and #phoenixchallengecoinsarmorshield finishes. If you had your coin plated only and no enamel...it'll still come out looking more like a badly beaten prizefighter than anything exceptionally photogenic. Oh I keep mine in a #pvccase....it mitigates some scratch, ding and abrasion wear....for a short period. Oh I keep mine in a leather wallet/coinholder....it mitigates some scratch, ding and abrasion wear and seriously increases friction wear on the plating and chipping with displacement of enamel.... We can go on and on One method which can work are hard acrylic cases...until theychip or shard and those damage your coin or you. Additionally they are uncomfortable and ungainly to carry! So we're throwing the #bsflag out on a majority of #edcgear #instagramchallengecoin posts for these reasons...and more The two #challengecoins the gold one is #phoenixchallengecoinsarmor and #phoenixchallengecoinsarmorshield. It's my favorite bottle breached by far. The second #SOFAIR coin #Challengecoin features one of the first R&D formulations of my @Phoenixchallengecoins armor(tm) finish....it didn't stand up but for reasons I can't remember still gets carried everyday and it's a stellar example of what happens when you carry challenge coins with enamel and other finishes and in a pocket of ______stuff.... Sound off with thoughts...👊🆒🔥🗽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍 #phoenixchallengecoins #pocketdump #edc #veteran #military #lawenforcement #fireservice #ff #EMS #paramedic #1stresponder #truthinadvertising #marketing #4real #truth #speakonit #picoftheday (at The Tactical Farm, LLC) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8_e0oXJ0yT/?igshid=1f4mmlphfy0j4

Do you even carry your #challengecoin tho...???? Don't know maybe I'm just "the one guy"... I see all these #edc #edcgear #pocketdump posts on instagram and it's always pristine gear. It almost never looks like much more than #jedi #marketingschtick... these folks seem to pull some commercial gear they want to peddle or what they pay an "influencer" to pretend to adore...the gear never has signs of ACTUAL USE...where is the authenticity?? Things which make you go hmm.It got me to wondering...has any one else noticed....was any cogognitive dissonance produced? I figured it would make for some interesting discussion and I'm curious to readwhat others think of the practice. For the record the stuff in this picture is carried daily or at minimum several times a week and it shows. All of the items from the brands pictured perform their tasks and most better than advertised/claimed... Except for the @ford key...it's just plain poorly engineered garbage and I'm on my 5th one in a short period because the garbage plastic they use on the fob keeps breaking and can't handle being on a key ring in a pocket. The @spartanblades hersey folder has been an amazing multi use tool I use every day...look close in the photo and you can see the friction wear on the hard bronze anodizing and scrapes from use wear....I hack boxes and shipping glue/tape and pretty much everything else with it and it giggles with delight...no really you can tell it's having fun. The @philleywood butter soft, supple, but durable William's gloves are indispensable at making PIT maneuvers and High speed J turns yawn worthy. They are also nifty at keeping the coresite and blood spatter off ones working hands. @braven flytes have more miles, continents, and abuse on them than most of Chris Costas @costa_ludus's gear torture testing cast offs. They still play noise. That's all I hear these days after years of abusing my ear drums with sirens and other loud stuff that probably warranted more time either pro. The missionworkshop #Rhyte has quickly become the only jacket I want to even look at or consider throwing on ever...

Are you #intheknow? If you are then you'll be able to appreciate the #rarity of this #vhtf #Challengecoin. The place where this #mystery #coin came from #challengecoins aren't all that important.

As we summit the last day of the #weekend we're thinking of the @7thspecialforcesgroup #woundedwarriors and their teammates/brothers who were wounded and lost in Eastern Afganistan alongside their Afghan military partners. We have been #honored to work with a number of teams in the #redempire and we're also sharing the sadness of the #families and #friends of these #veterans. The 7th SFG motto is Anything Anytime Anyplace / Lo Que Se Cuando Se Donde se This is one of the A-teams mottos and it fights the spirit of all the #longtabbers #warriormentors out there... ODA -0791 VINI VIDI VICI "I came; I saw; I conquered" #repost from @7thspecialforcesgroup : “Several 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) Soldiers were injured or killed during combat operations in Afghanistan on February 8, 2020. The 7th Special Forces Group Headquarters is poised to support the Service Members and their families during this difficult time,” said Col. John W. Sannes, 7th Special Forces Group Commander. “The families of the deceased and wounded are being notified.
