Nice. I am really looking forward to seeing these.
Left: Pkg #1
Right: Pkg #2
The box for the tactical pen had 2 pens stuffed inside. So package #1 will have the box. The pen will be wrapped in bubble wrap for package #2. No sticker in the box.
Speaking of stickers, there'll be a few stickers in each package. If each participant would like one please do so.
Not shown: Batteries. Each light arrived without batteries... well the Knight may have one, I did not open the package. But there'll be a new cell in the package for each light (with a pair for each FL2).
Package #1 will likely go out to Mr. 1984 on Monday. Mr. 24 on or about 10/15.

PK & mr fixer, awesome

Speaking of awesome...
The proceeds from the sale of the passaround items will be donated to....
THE CHRIS KYLE FROG FOUNDATION.
It's a fund to assist those soldiers and law enforecement who struggle dealing with mingling back into society due to wounds both mental and physical. Chris faced his demons and beat them back well enough to become a mentor to many who faced that. His life was tragically cut short by a veteran he was trying to help. The Chris Kyle Frog foundation is an effort to continue his work.
If you don't know who he was google his name. The guy was so freaking awesome Clint Eastwood made a movie about him that tells the tale as only Josey Wales, Dirty Harry and Sgt. Tom Hghway all roled into one can tell. It was called "American Sniper".
(Man tears welling up thinking about it)
I'm am sooooo psyched about that. PK and I discussed a couple of ideas, but when we discovered the Chris Kyle Frog Foundation... and their site sells flashlights? Pffft, that was obvious.
Matter of fact I think I'll go post in the "what you got in the mail?" thread about the 'Chris Kyle edition' Lux-Pros I have coming my way.
Side note: I reached out to the CKFF today about a potential colaboration with PKDL and await their response.

Mach pack:
This is a used box I had laying around.
Wanted to see how to get everything into a $6.80 box.
Next size is $13+.
So instead of doubling the cost of folks mailing this forward I removed the tactical pens from their boxes and wrapped them with bubble wrap. Well package 1 has the original foam around the PK TP. Like said before, that box had a second one tossed in.
- The FL 2 lights are loaded and tail cap is locked out.
Note PK tried 3 different switches. Both #205 (pkg 1) and #306 (pkg 2) have tail switch #2.
- The rockets have a fuel cell wrapped in the bubble wrap to go around the light when passing it forward. Right now the lights are zip-tied to the box.
- PL 2's have a cell and a bit of bubble wrap.
- The foursevens came with a foursevens battery. They are unopened at this point.
I was fortunate enough to be able to play with a Paladin so the honor of opening up one of the Knights goes to #1984 and #24. (Sorry russ, your user name spelling gets my dislexia going all haywire. lol)
The other 123's are Streamlight 1550's made 2/16 while the triple a's are Energizer Ultimates made 7/15.

It's heading your way in the morning sir.
Edit: went out this morning.
Phase 1 of what PK calls "PK discovery program" officially kicked off when that package left the post office today. It will expand as times goes on and in time be an integral part of launching new projects by PKDL.

This is what I came home to. You'll notice that the pocket rocket is already open. That's because I was just so surprised by its small size that I opened it right away.

You're in. Package 2 will go out next week and you'll be #3.
Support badge pays dividends.
Package 2 heading towards the Scout a bit early in case the postal system has a few hicups after Matthew.

Everything is great here. I have the package with me to ship out later this afternoon. I was going to ship it yesterday, but our 3D/4D ultrasound took forever. Only 10 more weeks until she's here and I'm already looking for lights for her.

Hey byk, I think I need to get in on this one. Either package doesn't matter to me. I would prefer checking out smaller lights. PM inbound with my info.
Faaaaaaaantastic-o! Congrats on the baby.
Welcome aboard. I'll put you on list #1.

Group II has arrived safe and sound, Mr. Fixer Looked like Tetris when I opened it! It won't be unpacked until the 22nd, unless you'd like another picture. Thanks!!! (The last of my cherry tomatoes keeping PK stuff company- we had a frost the other morning. They'll go on the window sill to ripen...)

Package 1 is on its way to Sgt.
Cool! Thanks for participating. Critiques are welcome... good and bad.

Woah! That was like overnight. No other pix necessary. Looks just like the 'puzzle' I mailed. lol.
Cherry tomatoes...mmmmmmm.
For future reference folks it was about a buck 50 less to use the self serve mailer at my local post office to send package 2 than package 1. Package 1 was handed to a clerk who weighed it etc. . I suppose those extra coins help pay the nice ladies salary?
