STEEMIT EXCLUSIVE CHRISTMAS GIVEAWAY / CONTEST LIVE HERE NOW - HELPING A STEEMIAN! - I Will Be Giving Away a Swiss Army Knife Shortly Tied To My OffGrid / Homesteading / Bushcraft Series
This contest will help a fellow Steemian I know pretty well, @geordieprepper
Keep reading!
I am giving away a brand new in box Victorinox SAK (Swiss Army Knife) the next week or so, because I believe in people having good tools near them to help in daily life no matter who or where you are.
I am willing to do the work to practice what I preach so you can have something practical in your pocket to help you too.
As many know, I have been a boots on the ground activist for years and years, that means I believe in DOING -- not just talking or typing -- and it has cost me a LOT.
Government and the rising police state, does not like informed, active people it turns out.

It's the Swiss Army Knife / Victorinox Spartan model...
It has 12 tools.
--
-- Model shown in graphic above. 12 tools include:
-- Large/small knives, bottle/can openers, large/small screwdrivers, corkscrew
-- Stainless-steel tools; rust-proof aluminum alloy separators
-- Durable brass rivets and bushings hold knife layers together
-- Ideal for outdoor recreation, travelers; 3-1/2 inches long
-- Made in Switzerland since 1891; lifetime warranty
-- Compact and sturdy
-- The world's most known brand for multi-tools and pocket knives
-- Made is Switzerland
From their website:
From the renowned company that created the Swiss Army Knife a century ago comes the Swiss Army Spartan, a compact set of tools for campers, hikers, and boy scouts. Measuring 91 mm long, the Spartan is stylishly cased in a timeless solid-colored housing with the familiar Victorinox logo on the side.
More importantly, the unit contains many of the classic Swiss Army tools, including a large and small blade for cutting, a cork screw, a can opener with a small screwdriver tip, a bottle opener with a large screwdriver tip and wire stripper, reamer, a toothpick, tweezers, and a key ring. As with all Victorinox items, the Spartan is made to exacting standards, with dozens of steps going into its construction.
Victorinox attends to every detail, from selecting the finest materials to performing the final inspection. In addition, each individual tool has been hardened in a different way to stand up to its designated use. As with all Victorinox multi-tools, the Spartan carries a limited lifetime warranty.
But Barry, Why the Advance Notice Posts Last Week?
-- This post like many others I have run or with others -- will be directly helping another Steemian as we discussed here and a beauty of this platform or Crypto in general, it is proving we can honestly have a win-win many times, or in this case a win-win-win (all parties involved) -- something I always strive for.
-- Because posts have a short shelf life and advance posts gives fair chances / notice to ~twice the amount of our community here.
-- 1 advance post during daytime hours EST and 1 at night time hours EST means all our friends, in every timezone truly have a more fair shot of seeing this contest. We are a global community here and need to keep this in mind.
-- Similar to that above point - we are a global community and when half of us are awake or online, the other half are sleeping or working. I have always remembered this on here. It is very fair this way.
-- Because this is a community and you are my family.
-- The more people involved -- the more ENGAGEMENT - which most of my posts focus on.
-- Because good contests draw attention to Steemit, which means it is better for the investors, and community at large and every person's Steem value.
-- Because the advance posts will help fund this contest, and the costs that go with it, for the knife, shipping etc. I also hope to have other contests if this goes OK. I may run another like this, immediately after especially if the post payouts really add up. I have NO issues with helping others like this, if we are all doing OK!
-- Related to above point -- the payouts on here in general have dropped and that includes on my own posts as well and it makes sense to keep afloat from a financial sense.
-- The contest will run on that one post for a full week, and winner announced after payout, on the post itself giving everyone lots of time and fair chances to win.
Thanks for reading, have a nice day.
