Pro tip of the day......

[pmclaine]

Don't try to demeat coconut with this.....

Because if you are a dumb fuck you get this....

Nice one inch "flap" on my ring finger, a stab in the palm, and a shaving nick on the pinky.

Might have to resort to duck tape to stop the bleeding.

 

[Supersubes]

Was that one swipe, or are you a slow learner?

Thanks for the tip. I’ve been known to ignore basic rules of knife safety from time to time.

 

[pmclaine]

Didn't know how to open a coconut at all.

Prepping some dessert for wife's birthday.

Used YouTube to learn how.

Tried two methods.

Yesterday just split it and peeled the meat at room temperature. No problem but a bit of work.

Second method had you freeze the coconut over night and than break the shell. This method showed it peeling clean like a hard boiled egg. Figured I'd try it.

Broke it this am and it worked nothing like the video.

When I went to work with the mess I had the meat wouldn't peel easy as it was probably frozen to the hull.

Too much pressure, knife slip, hello Band-Aid.

I think all these videos are made by ISIS designed to have Americans cut their fingers off.

Gel super glue.
I decided to stab my hand about an inch deep.
Cleaned it up and applied the glue.
Scar looked like quality work.

[Bigfatcock]

At least it was a Randall, and not some $2 poors knife.

 

[charnicus]

I could just picture someone f bombing while they slam a coconut on their kitchen counter.

A coconut with the husk on it is a whole different level of fucked.

Sorry about your finger OP...

 

[Driftr76]

Don't use a chainsaw either.

 

[supercorndogs]

I have seen a lot of the garden videos that are utter and complete bull shit, stuff that 100% will not work, life hacks my ass. Thats the problem with You Tube University.

Too late.

Some will say it should never went on.

 

[SD Carpenter]

Avocado hand is a real thing lol.. now apparently is coconut hand lol

 

[rulellis]

I will add to this don’t drill your daughters pinewood derby car with a 5/8” drill bit while you hold it in your hand because your garage is too cold to use the vice. Resulted in a giant hole almost all the way through and surgery to try and repair the neerves.

 

[pmclaine]

Bright side.....

It's not my ass wipe or Pornhub hand.

 

[Son of Dorn]

1. Happy birthday to Mrs. pmclaine.

Maybe youre supposed to break it and wait until it thaws?

Man look at the balls on that sucker, mucho jealous.

 

[myronman3]

i did a number on my left palm years ago trying to cut a grapefruit with a dull knife while i was half asleep. and to top it off, i didnt get stitches in it. damn thing started to dry out and butterflyed open. it was a NASTY wound and i am very lucky that it healed correctly.

 

[ColinW]

Use a spoon, dude. Spoons work better for that kind of thing. I had a brief tenure in Fiji as a surf bum, where coconuts were deadly depending on the time of year. Drills work best to get the juice, then create a soft point to break in half and a spoon to get the meat. Rookie mistake Happens to the best of us. Glad you're okay and not banged up too bad!

 

[Zeroit]

You used the wrong model Randall,
May want to try the Smithsonian Bowie next time and slightly different technique.

I've done shit like that before with a machete, on the bright side my 9 year old son got to practice his field medical skills.

 

[diggler1833]

It's always when you're using a good, sharp knife that you have an accident.

 

[Charger442]

Can't be as frustrating as butchering a mango.

 

[goosed]

Freezing coconuts to remove meat? lol that's nonsense, but at least you went at it with gusto

The back of a good heavy knife to open works well enough, but once open If you can't remove the meat on a room temperature coconut with a spoon or butter knife and tapping on the counter you're doing it wrong. Now the young hairless coconuts... fuck those things!

 

[Bigfatcock]

A sharp knife has no friends.

 

[pmclaine]

A knife that isn't sharp is not a knife.

Actually it's a good thing it was that Randall.

That blade is so thick it's more a utility tool/dive knife thing.

It's plenty sharp for work but it's not scary sharp. It's a beast of a bush knife.

If it had of been one of my pocket Benchmades the finger would have been off and the blade would have been through my palm.

 

[E-Tool]

This whole thread makes me cringe

 

[Spblademaker]

“Because when I remove the blade I keep in my boot from its sheath, I can't return it until it has spilled blood.”

 

[pmclaine]

Gonna turn this into a nom, nom, nom thread.

This will be the hat of the day....

Some replica WWII Naval aviator gear.

Got shrimp skewers, scallop and tuna kabobs. Gonna smoke some salmon filet. Burgers and dogs for the kids. Gonna have some lamb skewers. Kids get brownies and ice cream. For my keto diet self a keto cake, coconut without blood, fresh strawberries, fresh whip cream.......and Bulleit Rye.

 

[10ring'r]

Ouch! Super glue works well, ask me how I know! Mac

 

[pmclaine]

Brownies made this AM prior to the self mutilation...

Cake type cause the kids like cake type, I'd go fudge if I were eating them.

Smoker is prepping for salmon....

 

[1J04]

Lemme know when ya wanna fuck around with Propane Tanks.

Follow me for more life hacks that require surgery..............


Sorry Brother.

 

[Kamerad]

Better a sharp knife than a dull one!

 

[pmclaine]

Quick cup of Keurig BS coffee because all of life's problems can be conquered with coffee and hate.....

 

[Snuby642]

I have come to appreciate shredded coconut in a bag.

My son cracks them in half using a towel to hold them steady on the countertop.

Then he quarters them and nukes them a short time. Next he cuts the pieces off with a potato peeler.

Pita.

 

[Snuby642]

Please share salmon recipe.

I suck at smoking fish and salmon is on sale.

 

[pmclaine]

Youch!

You didn’t ask, but prayers for healing sent.

I didn't ask but a good folk such as yourself does what's right anyway.

My hand picked the wrong day to heal.

Got out of the shower wore a rubber glove ala Michael Jackson on my cut hand.......dripped bloody water all over the white bath rug Mrs McLaine just washed......happy birthday!

Already felt the flappy skin open two or three times. Expecting in a day or two that will go skanky blue shrivel, die, and I'll cut it off with something other than biting it with my teeth.

We need a self surgery forum.

 

[pmclaine]

Gonna use fuel in two smoke bins either side of the Weber, gonna sit the salmon on a cedar board that's been soaking in water. Gonna put some of this sauce on em.......

Nothing too sophisticated.

We are dealing with a guy that almost cut his hand off fixing coconut for Cri-sakes.

Bought the Plus P from my local shop.

It's a strange place.

I think I get great deals on Rifles but shit like ammo usually seems high.

I bought some ammo off him just to buy ammo. Was going to buy 20 boxes of that .38 ammo but he wanted $20 per. Target Sports has em at $16 per.

He throws me a bone sometimes, I throw him a bone sometimes.

It takes a lot of nuts to open a coconut, or at least you have to be nuts.

That didn’t seem to take a lot of effort...

Was he not available when you needed you coconut opened?

Obviously a poor, can't afford a Randall.

Looks like Condor palm arm and head bands.

Johnny's seasoning salt (it's made in Tacoma and a northwest staple), butter and thinly sliced lemon. You are golden. Oh but you have to catch it yourself on the Good News river
