Reddit reviews SOG SOGfari 18" Machete MC02-N - Hardcased Black Blade w/Saw Back, Rubber Handle, Nylon Sheath

A Tomahawk and a Machete to keep in your car in the case of a zombie apocalypse/to scare traffic.

1.) Blue: a classic, blue jeans. Need I say more?

2.) Summer: what says summer more than memories of being a kid and making sandcastles? Exactly .

3.) Food related: okay, so this is personal. I am Italian and no one I have ever met has this in their homes. We make our pizzas in normal ovens or just go down the street to one of the many takeaway restaurants. What is a pizza oven and why does anyone need one!

4.) Someone else: I decided to go random wishlist on this and what better way to learn something new about someone that go through their lists?! So I got /u/krispykremedonuts and her wishlists are full of amazing things. And a lot of socks. Someone get this girl some socks! I would get her socks. 😂

5.) Book: you need to read Sum: 40 tales from the afterlives. I recommend this to anyone who would listen. It's 'speculative fiction,' whatever that means, but essentially it's 40 short stories about what may happen after we die. It may sound weird, but seriously, trust me. Read the wiki page of it if you need to be convinced or the Amazon product description. It really makes you think and sticks with you!

6.) Under $1: This was hard! But I found the cutest mini-pens. One dollar, free shipping, AND adorable. BAM!

7.) Dogs: I've been considering getting this fancy brush. It's supposed to be super good for dogs with long hair!

8.) Not useful but awesome: Okay, so I have been obsessed with the idea of being able to print photos from my phone since forever. Useful? Most definitely not, awesome...HECK YES! Check this out!!!


9.) Movie: Life is Beautiful. It's about selfless love. It's beautiful and I can't speak more about it without bursting into tears. If you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't seen it, WATCH IT. It's incredibly beautiful and moving.

10.) Zombies: You definitely need a machete to defend yourself. This is even sharp on both sides!!!

11.) Needs and current goals: At this moment in my life, any sort of clothing would change my life because there is only so much sewing you can do before your clothes start looking very sad. BUT, since it has to do with current goals, a pair of workout leggings would really help in my workout goals! I've lost 3kg in the past 3 months! It's not a lot, but damn I'm SO happy :D :D :D

12.) Add-On item: Oh, add-ons...groans

13.) Fandom: CAW!

14.) So expensive: $11,703.38 carpet cleaner. I don't even know. But at least it has free shipping!

15.) Sharks: temporary tattoos!

16.) Good smells: I adore the smell of rosemary.

17.) Toy: I absolutely loved my jump rope. I had the red one! I got super good at it and my friends and I would jump rope together around the neighborhood like a bunch of weirdos. Such good memories though :D

18.) Writers: never underestimate the need of coffee in any job you may have.

19.) Current obsession: so it's almost summer and I am obsessing over which ankle bracelet I want. I feel naked without them. It's a problem 😂

20.) Random: this is what I got one of my last contest winners. I saw it on one of their wishlists and couldn't resist!!!

1. There's an old Simpsons episode where Bart is being chased by bullies. He's wearing a belt with turn signals. He signals left, the bullies think he's going left, and he runs right. A gag, but whatever buys you time.
   
   
2. Buy one of these and strap it to your cycle. Apart from looking cool, you'll at least have a fighting chance should this happen to you again.

The full size 18" Sogfari. The blade is too thin, the metal too flexible and the edge is far too fragile. I can't believe that SOG would sell such a piece of junk. A HUGE disappointment!

Here are some others who have had similar experiences:

That's the MyTracks map from when I went out there. There's some weird loop from when I got lost of paved roads looking for the entrance. It's not actually hard to find, I just don't have a visible map or GPS when I'm riding. I saw about 6 other vehicles the whole time. There were tracks from what looked like two motorcycles, who looked like were able to make it under a fallen tree. My bike is a bit bigger than a DR650, so I wouldn't have been able to get through without a saw (which is coming with me next time).

Also, bring bug spray.
