The Iron Heart Forum Triangle of Terror Type III Trucker Tour 2018 - Updates thread

Thank you, everyone, who was involved with this and thank you, Reuben, for herding cats 

We will sort out a charitable donation shortly.

Events slightly took over our lives towards the end of last year and we have not sorted out any of our annual charitable donations yet.  I will sit down with @Madame Buttonfly and @Alex and sort it all out shortly.

Thanks again.

Good work everyone. Hoping for some detailed pics at some point, in daylight if possible.

Interesting. There's been very little blue coming through.

It’s all been rubbed out.

[JDelage]

Understood. I'm just thinking that the OD process resulted in a basically black jacket with no blue. Given the ongoing discussion about the cost of the OD process, I think it's noteworthy.

[neph93]

True to a degree, but the finish and colour of OD is very different to what you get from sulphur dying. The fading is too, also on this one. And in person there is still evidence of the indigo to be seen.  A very different result to the one you get with SBG.

I am missing the vibe of the IH World Tours and especially this one!

[neph93]

@Aetas It’s been a while hasn’t it.

What’s going on with the mad red?

But whatevs… we should try another one. @Giles @goosehd @Alex what about those slightly fucked deerskin shirts I saw in G’port in November? I’m down to organise a tour if you guys fancy donating one. Should be a great item to trash.

Deerskin or Wabash Chore… I was hoping you will answer. I can help as far as possible to make another tour happen!

I am so very torn on this. For one, I miss these projects, the pictures, and the camaraderie of sharing stories and the item around the world. The other half of me is disappointed in the last few rounds of the Mad Red. The item hasn't and isn't being shared the way it's supposed to be. As a non participant I have held back, but I am also hesitant to recommend or support other items being shipped around the world without the effort that is supposed to being going into the tours.

There have be some excellent tours, pictures, and stories in the past. I believe that whomever signs up should realize the expectations of taking these items for the month that they are to wear and share them.

[neph93]

@goosehd these things inevitably peter out like the mad red has. Doesn’t make it ok, but it is what it is. The key is to be selective when it comes to participants.

[Giles]

I remember one entrant saying once he had the jacket (or whatever it was), words to the effect of I live a very boring life, no point me taking pictures.

Seriously what was the fucking point of signing up....

If we were doing a jacket, my vote would be a wabby chore

[neph93]

@Alex oh hell yes. That is a cracking idea (and @Aetas too).

[Aetas]

Let’s get it started!
The IH-Wabash Chore Coat World Tour
Xl or bigger…
And I will draw in 10 sections in the inside, where everyone can leave his tags or patches!
Can you open a new thread @neph93 ?
