[MR] Attention Fighters

[Sandi Rust]

Yep, leather needles and waxed thread isn't something every fighter has in their kit. I don't know of any HA fighter that has that in their repair kits. It takes too long; whereas a roll of duct tape, strapping (packaging) tape, white or yellow electrical tape, copper rivets, leather straps (1/2"), extra buckles (1/2"), and leather laces, are something every fighter needs Along with a bar of good soap (^_^). The anvil and hammer, knife and scissors can be costly, but if you would get a hammer, a ball-peen hammer is the most useful as would be a rivet setter, a small (10 pound) anvil can be gotten at most Harbor Freight  Outlets for a reasonable price, but most fighters have one or have something they can use as an anvil. But for a fighting prize, I would say keep with the tapes, the soap, leather strapping and copper rivets. (^_^) oh and a absorbant arming cap is a nice gift as well. Or *just* the anvil or *just* the rivet setter , rivets, and
 ball-peen hammer.

Started off as a fighter back in the time of the were-sheep (^_^)
