    I just got it yesterday. The postal guy failed to let me know it was at our rental office. I’ll get it out tomorrow.

    The box is shipped. It’ll arrive on Wednesday.

    I’ll post pics when I get home tonight.

    I have the Box - and Holeeeee Chit, there's a lot of goodies in there. Just a heads-up, I will be gone on a Search all weekend, so I won't have the chance to pilfer through everything and load it up/ship it out until next week.

    Looks like we're coming close to the end here - excited to get this sent off to @wilas101

    Thanks @thepierced for getting this going and @koolaidnd for shipping it my way! :)

    The box is on it's way to @wilas101!

    I grabbed a couple camp spoons, a kukri, cordage, keychain tool and light, bear bell, paddle holster, firesteel, Robeson old timer shuredge, and the Bruin reel.

    looks like she's due to be delivered today. Nice timing since I cleaned the garage and have half a chance of finding stuff now. :)

    Got the box today. Here's what I kept. A sheath that fits an ESEE-4, small whistle, gerber shard and a p38.

    Well guys, we’ve officially come full circle :) I received the box about three weeks ago but went out of town for one of those, then two busy weeks at work. Just now getting around to som free time.

    I’m curious what you all think I ought to do with the remaining items from the box.
    * Sell/auction it off and donate whatever comes in.
    * send it through the pay-it-forward thread
    * keep it until someone wants to start up another mystery box
    * or perhaps you don’t have any more skin in this game and you’re just glad it’s done. In which case I’ll hold onto it and think up something clever ;)

    Thank you all for your participation and patience, glad it brought a smile to your face.

    I'd say keep it until someone wants to start another.

    Hoping these photos work, here’s the final contents of the box :) If anyone sees something you want I can send it to you for the cost of postage. Again, if you all think of something creative to do with the remaining items I’m game. Otherwise I’ll hold onto them or pass them along in some way. Thanks all for your participation, if we do this again it will be sooner and with fewer entrants ;)

    I'd be interested in the BLACK pen, and is that a Buck 110 sheath?

    The pen is yours. It was tucked inside the black cordura sheath that sits next to it, is that the one you’re referring to? Or the tan leather one off to the far right? The tan one is stamped Wenger, it looks like it could handle up to a 3 1/2” or maybe 3 3/4” folder. Not sure what dimensions you’re looking for, but you’re welcome to either.
    Send me your address and I’ll get them out to you.

    I have a coworker who could use that paracord dog lead.

    Is that a baby bottle of Tabasco just above the black pen? Like you use to find in MREs back in the 90s ?!?
