TFP Bear Hunters Patch
 

Hey All,

Found an online firm that does custom patches:

Custom Patches

So, to amuse me, and to take a break from the suck of law school, I sketched up a bear hunter patch:

http://x19.xanga.com/304e1a140723427...b216930549.jpg


Figured it would be a Ghostbusters like patch, with a red 'no-smoking' type of X, along with a TAR-21 on the bottom.

Top says, "Bear Hunters Club"

Bottom says, "With a Tavor Strapped to my Thigh"

Thoughts? Input? Photoshop mockups?

Everyone cool with Velcro hook backing on the patch?

:D

Hook backing will be necessary. Also if we could integrate the Israeli flag into the patch somehow that would be great since the main reason the TAR-21 is so effective against bears isn't due to the caliber size, accuracy or any other specifications but rather because it was designed in Israel and is therefore ultra deadly.

Should there be a dog reference as well? Or are you just hitting on one issue that was presented, the bear?

How this video was not brought up before, I have no idea.

Oh, someone got to what I was going to say before I did. Maybe we should work the Desert Eagle in as a backup gun. You know, just in case.

I'll work on my concept sketch when I get off shift. I need to sleep.

Can we include a pitbull that wasn't stopped by a .45? Or one that's being choked out?

Sure. But thats a different patch all together.

Two patches. One for the bear and one for the unstoppable ("easily killed," as he said) pitbull.

The Proof. What do you guys think? They're asking about $20/ea. Kind of pricey.

Going to have to ask them to spell Tavor correctly. And that looks like a British L85A1?

Dammit, Jim. My duct tape internet isn't loading the image. I pay $100 a month for this?!

Grammar point.

"Bears Hunter's Club" should be "Bear Hunters' Club"

Sweet patch. Hunters', check. And yeah, that's a L85 not the Israeli beast-slayer. It needs a TFP logo, though.

Supply the company with a picture of a Tavor and insert a TFP on the "Bear Hunter's Club" maybe?

I want on this wagon, I'm sure I can find the cash to pony up for one.

Yeah they need to put TFP in there and get the gun right, if the $20 includes shipping I would do it.

Unfortunately there may be an even better weapon against bears than a Tavor... and that is a large, thick zucchini:

Mont. woman fends off bear attack with zucchini | KOMO News | Seattle News, Weather, Sports, Breaking News - Seattle, Washington | Offbeat

"FRENCHTOWN, Mont. (AP) - Police say a Montana woman used an unlikely weapon to fend off a charging bear - a zucchini.

Missoula County Sheriff's Lt. Rich Maricelli says a 200-pound black bear attacked the woman's 12-year-old collie just after midnight Wednesday on the back porch of her home about 15 miles west of Missoula.

When the woman, whom police did not name, screamed to draw the bear's attention, it charged her and swiped at her leg.

Maricelli says the woman jumped back into the doorway and reached for the nearest object on her kitchen counter - a 12-inch zucchini from her garden.

The woman flung the vegetable at the bear, striking it on top of the head and causing it to flee.

Maricelli says the woman did not need medical attention. Wildlife officials were trying to locate the bear on Thursday."

That was a black bear.

:grumpy:

We hunt Grizzlies here on TFP.

//edit: TFP green for the background instead of white?

The price of the patches is something like $18.73, I figured I'd ask for $20 each so I could include shipping.

Unfortunately, I need a minimum of 6 for them to produce.

1.) KirStang
2.) Plan9
3.) Lord Eden
4.) Chris Jericho
5.) Walt
6.) The Dunedan

You guys have paypal? I'll front the money after we get a revised proof we can all agree on.

Requested Changes so far:
1.) "TFP" inserted
2.) "Hunters'"
3.) Tavor spelled right
4.) A TAR-21 instead of an SA80.

Hektore, I think the white would look better in the background. Would that work for you?

Motherfuckers better pay up. If I don't have one of these on my armor before my long weekend I'm going to be pissed.

I won't be able to fork up the dough this payday, but I can allocate it from next weeks check.

Ha. I'm in.

I'm not really a patch kinda guy. It more more of a thinking out loud suggestion as an alternative to sticking TFP in there somewhere.

Lemme know when the new proof is ready. It should be posted here.

I'm in.

The circle is complete.

Don't forget "bear" instead of "bears"

Good call. I had hoped that was a given along with Tavor but seeing that this company can't spell on a proof I certainly hope this patch is worth $20.

Kir, might be a good idea to draft up crude corrections using some lines and text in MSPaint.

Good catch. I would have totally gotten stuffed on that.

It's $18.83 ea./ for 6, and something like $10.55ea. for 12. So. The more we get, the less expensive it is. (Or, we could, get 12 people, pay $20 each, excess costs go to TFP to support the forum or something like that. Just doesn't feel right selling something here without giving back to the forum).

The new proof is here, but, I do not like how they just threw on the TAR. I can't believe they put 'Bears' on the first proof. Jesus. Look like they're hiring middle schoolers who know how to photoshop.

Ive been away from the forum for a bit, whats the inside joke here?

Please, please, please don't necropost this thread:

http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/tilted-...eir-power.html

It may go the way of the pitbull thread if you revive it.

okay, i didnt read any of the debates but i got a kick out of the initial question lol

I admit I would eat a whole box of organic, gluten-free cereal to find this prize at the bottom.

Passive-aggressive? Yeah, most likely.

Also, from this thread: http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/tilted-...ml#post2815821

Around Post #175

Digging up the dirt, eh? I can't say I'm against it. Carry on.

I'm liking the good memories being brought back.

Does anyone else want in on this? I'll submit the final order using the proof in post #26 on Monday morning.

Want!

I'll do some action shots with it tacked to my hat.

I don't have a Tavor, though. Just old school stuff.

In my opinion you probably have to a bit too much into guns to think this is funny.

Of course an assault rifle could kill a bear.

I like guns (mainly because they go bang), but I couldn't tell you the difference between a bullet and a trigger. So I think this thread is golden.

Let's try not to beat a dead horse, alright, Strange? Though it would be entertaining to see that go down...

I hear tale that the IMI Uzi is perfect for dead horses.

This thread is the best thread.

since its partly in my honour, I'll buy one if you have some way of sending funds like paypal or google or whatever btw

I vote that Strange Famous should receive an honorary patch at no cost,
& it will come with a 'Good Sport' certificate. :-)

Seconded!

Patch in Finalized Form:

People who I have on the purchase list:

1.) KirStang
2.) Plan9
3.) Lord Eden
4.) Chris Jericho
5.) Walt
6.) The Dunedan

Hopefully they'll come in today, and I can get them out to you all before Halloween.

Haha! YES!

The Patches Came in!

My paypal is Kchen086 [at]gmail.com

Please send me the $20 and your address, I'll get it out to you as soon as possible.

Might wanna remove your name'd email from public space, brodawg.

...

Love the patch. Best idea ever. I'm gonna rock that badboy until I get yelled at.

I can see it now: "Dude, what the hell is that thing on your armor? Get rid of it."

Can't wear it on my hats, however, because I removed the lame "operator" Velcro.

payment sent bro-ham

Uh-huh. Yeah, you'll get your goddamn money when I goddamn feel like it.

Or, ya know, whenever you show up at the apartment and demand money from my girlfriend.

Just don't pound on the door. Knock. She gets jumpy and may point a .357 at you.

I'll have the cash soon, might be a week or two.

Take your time bud, no worries.

ChrisJericho, I've received your payment. Your patch will go out ASAP, hopefully tonight.

Plan9. My interest rate is 17.5%....:D

Up Next: Stern and Masterful Gaze Patch :D (Plan 9's great idea)

Anybody else find it mildly amusing that the place that makes the patches is located in Bearsville, NY?

lol came out nice...

i have learned fast thou not to front money for people...


a week or two to come up with 20 bucks i mean come on...

last time i placed an order for custom t-shirts i got stuck with 10 extra and people taking weeks to pay...


i still have some XL's left if anyone wants one lol

When you lose your job, $20 can be a lot when you don't have any revenue coming in.

Thanks for playing.

Good luck with the job search & move, Eden.
Yeah...twenty can be a lot.

I dont mind paying up, just send me a PM about how to pay you.

Wrong answer, Strange. I shall pay for your patch if necessary.

if you lose your job you shouldnt be wasting 20 bucks on a patch

Hey, it's good for the economy.

...

KirStang,

Since you're completely ignoring me elsewhere (my feelings!), I'm going to demand that you get the next patch drawn up.

I want to put a "Very Stern and Masterful Gaze" on my plate carrier. I don't bother with silly flags and lame racist patches.

1 vote for the angry red eye. Let's do the eye with a white background with red ring and black text. I think that'll work well.

I put my word down that I would pay for this, that's why I'm shelling up $20, otherwise I wouldn't. If I don't pay for it, KirStang is out money and that ain't right.

Can can we drop the high horse threadjack now? I'd like that.

Hey guys,

Losing your job is a huge thing--I can't find a job and I feel utterly useless, unwanted even. I can't imagine what getting laid off feels like. So, no need to belabor the point.

Dunedan, Cromp, ChrisJericho, your patches are on their way. Turns out each patch is less than 13 ounces (or whatever weight) and can be mailed by a regular stamp.

Sorry for the late shipment--was out of town until last night and didn't get a chance to go to the Post office, which it turns out, was completely unnecessary.

I can't wait to take it out and get it dirty.

For a limited time only:

Well, it's official. I'm the now baddest motherfucker at this camp.

http://i919.photobucket.com/albums/a...rPatchShot.jpg

dam that's hot. I gotta get me a patch.

Found a picture of Walt with his patch. You can just barely see it.

http://i919.photobucket.com/albums/a...TFPBearBat.jpg

Are there still any of these available?

Im still willing to buy one!

Yea actually my fault. I haven't sent out these patches. I have like three of them sitting on my desk. I'll get them out when I get home. Apologies to Walt & SF.

If you've got an extra, I'll take it. I'd hate for 9 to out Gucci me...

Dude, with my job? I'm lucky to get magazine fed weapon in the first place. Friggin' cheapskates.

Once again: Great job on the patch, Kirstang. I love the looks I get from the GI Joes around here.

It's even better when I tell the story to someone who knows a little sumthin-sumthin 'bout guns.

I always carry Chuck Norris as backup. There's nothing better.
