Good luck charms

[stihlmadasever]

I carry a small bag of iron pyrite (fools gold) in my first aid pouch on my harness,i swear by it,maybe im just superstitious but i read somewhere its good luck to carry it for people with dangerous jobs.

The one time i was using the rescue harness as my own was getting lolered i got a kiss from a silky,nowt major just a little slash-bled like a bastard though and ive been lucky enough not to have any accidents since.

Some may say this is bollocks etc but it makes me feel a little better knowing its back there.

Any of you carry any good luck charms or have any superstitious rituals?

Seconded. I carry a leatherman squirt at least, which is kind of like a lucky charm I suppose. Like the doctor who performed a tracheotomy on a plane with his swiss army knife classic - could save a life. The squirt coupled with a AAA flashlight on a ring is pretty much minimal daily carry for me anyway. I have a needle and some duct tape in my wallet as well. I couldn't ware a lucky charm anyway, can't stand having anything attached to my extremities or around my neck.

 

Thought - are tattoos lucky charms? I think that was kind of their purpose in the beginning right?

Not that lucky for the unfortunate dolphin or butterfly on a fat birds ass cheek

I write out a "lucky" RAMS for each job (Usually).

 

But it didn't stop this happening yesterday..,

Yes... Mendl airstreams! If I hadn't had them on my foot would have been proper mangled. I carried on working for a while but as soon as I put my foot in a crotch in the tree I knew it was really damaged. I'll always get airstreams from now on good solid protection all round.

Dunno about the "luck" bit though 🤕

They'll be your lucky Airstreams in future then
