There are definitely 36 whips there, it is just a little hidden.

HINT: My 4th and Janine's 6th both are connected, to the hidden whip.

I know he has two pair of short Strain bullwhips, like 4 ft and 3 ft, and of those, you're missing one whip from one of the pairs. So you guys did have 36 whips in Oklahoma, just not not in the picture.
Actually all of chris's whips are in the shot, he has one pair of 4 foot strain bullwhips with red and black knots, and one short strain bullwhip that is about 3' 9", and has just a plain old red knot. Also, this was before Oklahoma, and I don't think I brought all of mine with me.

This is fun, Find the missing whip, it's like where's waldo. Maybe this could be a recurring game, hahahha.

Let me know if you guys give up, :-)

Hey Paul & Adam,

Great whip collection!

I had no problem in finding the 36 whips...but I would like a little help in identifying those 4 bullwhips to the right of your Morgan (if memory serves me, you sold it, right?). Specially I'm looking for that second Morgan! :(

Adam,

It looks like you bought your 6 stockwhips from Janine all at once. Am I correct?

Thanks guys for sharing the pics and take care!

Okay,

I think now I see that I missed a signal whip, and there's three, making 36 whips.

There's a natural tan signal whip by Paul, a black signal whip by Janine, and a black and green signal whip by Peter Jack.

Am I right? Do I get a cookie?

hey Bernardo,

Good to hear from ya!, yeah that is the morgan that I, unfortunately, sold. The bullwhip immediately to the right of that morgan is another morgan, it is chris camps old 10 footer, that I believe is now about 9 and a half feet.

The black whip to the right of that, is an older joe strain, and if my memory serves me right, it is close to about 10 years old. I know that I have had it for at least 5 years maybe 6, and when I bought it it was already about 4 years old or so. It cracks marvelously, and I doubt I'll ever get rid of it. interestingly the handle is extreemely thin, like the bolster was cut down and the yokes on the bellies were shaved thin. It's almost half the size of the other handles, but the thong is still the same thickness as the others.

the next one over is another Joe Strain Indy, it is a 6 footer that I believe I purchased from Indiana Texas Girl.

The next one over is another Joe Strain Indy, this one is just short of 8 feet, and like the black one it is one of the best cracking bullwhips I've ever cracked. also, this whip it is the most similar indy whip to the Raiders whip that mark allen sold that was used in the movie that I have seen yet. and it looks great on the belt.

Dan and Adam,

I'm with ya Janine, what the hey, let's give em' both a cookie! :-)
