Speir Knot (Modified) - Quick release fixed loop knot TX Tool Crib 2023-01-28 | Today I wanted to share with you a quick release fixed loop knot that I learned from a Russian channel.

For now, we will call it the Russian Quick Release.Edit: With the help of several viewers, and finding this knot in an Army publication, I was able to locate the proper name for this knot.

The Value Of Carrying A Multi Tool TX Tool Crib 2022-12-26 | Carrying a multi tool is a no-brainer for myself.

Even if they don't make a V3 of the Juice series, this frame size is worth exploring in my opinion.

I Wish I Had Done This Sooner! - MagicFour Gas Can Vent TX Tool Crib 2022-07-23 | One task I used to dread was filling up my zero turn lawn mower with fuel. The safety spouts on today's gas can turn this into a very tedious process.
