Function Pocket
What is the correct way to position the clip?
I've seen them worn a small shirt and closed so that the road will not "drift away" any and I have seen them worn even higher (about pocket-high) with no apparent function other than appearance. I, personally, like how it is appears to be even higher, but it makes more sense that it is less. I have to give the floor today and I want to be your own tie clip right on the spot. Everyone knows what is right?
Tie the clips should be the third and fourth button shirt.

Pocket Knife
How to clean and sharpen the old pocket knife?
I am my father's old pocket knife. This knife is 30 + years old. I am already in it and the steel wooled I'm soaking it vinegar. I have no idea what else to do, but perhaps put the WB40? I'm going to be used outdoors / fishing stuff. One help?
I have the whole box and "what used to clean stuff '... It contains the toothpicks and Q-tips and such. oil you use your pistol / rifle, like Rem oil or its equivalent is OK knife. Get all the places where the rust and dirt may cause problems. Lansky makes a great sharpening system, which is set on a knife-edge blade.

Utility Knife
What knife do you recommend for this?
I work in a bike shop and I am constantly opening bike boxes with scissors, but need something more efficient. For my b day/holidays, I was looking for either a high quality folding utility knife or folding pocket knife to cut plastic tie downs and card board boxes. Anything under the sun (money not really an object) Help?
i would recommend the folding box cutting (utility) knife simply because replacement blades are cheap other than that get a stainless Case
oh yeah and stay away from gerber knives you have to grind a new edge on them

Looking for a home can be exhausting with the excess inventory on the market. Home values have fallen and it continues to be a buyer's market. Your time is important and it can take hours each weekend attending open houses before you find the home for you. By being prepared you can utilize your time more efficiently and gather the necessary data.
When attending an open house you can expect to meet a real estate agent that is showing the home, unless it is a home that is for sale by owner. In this case be prepared to deal directly with the owner of the home. However, the majority of the time you will be dealing with the agent representing the seller.
Before leaving home you want to have a good idea of where you will be going. If you plan on viewing several homes that day you should take a few minutes to plot your trip using Google Maps, printing off directions from one place to the next.
Now that you have your itinerary planned for the day it is time to make a list of important things to look at when viewing an open house. Before stepping out of the car look at the surrounding homes; are they well kept? If the home you are viewing is the only nice looking home on the block it may affect the value later down the road. You will also want to make a note if the home is next to an industrial area or close to a busy street. This too may have a negative affect on the home's value.
When viewing the home don't be afraid to interact with the agent showing it. Find out details such as; how long the home has been on the market, age, square feet, etc. Use your nose; smell for any off odors that may indicate a problem such as pet stains or mildew. Look for water stains on both the floor boards and the ceiling. This can indicate flooding or a leak from the roof, both of which may be costly to repair if not addressed beforehand.
Examine the walls and foundation for cracks and anything out of the ordinary; for example, if one wall is painted in a room but the rest aren't it may be a sign that something is being covered up. If you are interested in the home it is important to take the time to go through it. Of course many things will be found when the home inspection is done but it doesn't hurt to know what you are getting yourself into.

Kit Compass
I'm planning a winter wilderness camping trip this year and i was wondering if you could give me some idea's?
These are the items i'm bringing with me so far, maybe you could give me some more idea's.
1. Magnesium fire starter(water proof)
2. 30 by 30 foot tarp with 100 feet of hemp rope
3. Multi-tool with built in knife
4. 4 days worth of food(14 day trip)
5. First-aid kit
6. Thermal blacket and sleeping bag
7. Hunting knife
8. 100 feet of fishing line and 10 hooks
9. Map and compass
10. Camping gear like cup, spoon, knife, fork and so on.
Why are you bringing both a hunting knife and a multi-tool with a built in knife? This seems redundant. And consider changing our your hemp rope (will absorb water) w/ a nylon rope.
Some other things:
- hat and gloves
- layered clothing (long underwear, fleece pants and top, fleece jacket, windproof jacket - no cotton)
- backpacking stove with fuel (white gas/Coleman fuel type stoves may work better in the cold than the canister types)
- for eating utensils try only bring a large thermal mug and a spoon - the cup can act as a bowl and a cup and the spoon is a very versatile utensil and take the place of a knife to cut soft stuff and spread stuff like a knife - the fork is just redundant.
- skis or snowshoes
- a sled to put your stuff in and haul (I have used a modified "kiddie" sled in the past
