Got going early, at 9 am it was already 85, at noon it was 105. Hiking along the stream was nice, but climbing out was extremely hot.

great pics T... :thumbup: it's been waaaaaaay hot here lately.. and the real heat hasn't even begun...:(

nice blade selection there...:thumbup:
 
Nice pics as usual, amigo. I hear you on the Farmer addiction! I've already got a couple that I EDC and use very frequently in the woods, but I still look for deals on more! It's the perfect pocket knife.
 
Thanks guys. This was in Thousand Oaks, where luckily there was a little bit of a breeze. I carried about 100 oz total water for my wife and I. Next time she waill have to bring her Camelbak though, and we'll have to leave even earlier.

i really got bit by the Farmer bug. It is about the perfect knife form edc to heading out on a hike. I have three of them now and #4 on the way!
 
Cool pics. I'm still bummed I missed that Laconico in the makers for sale thread. Looks like it's getting some good use though.

Hey tknife,

Thanks for sharing the pictures.

I don't know how you can hike in that temperature. It was 73 here last week and I was sweating bullets. At 100, to find me you would have to listen for the roar of a fuel injected air conditioner and the popping of many cold beer caps. :(

I also am a big Vic fan. Those saws rock, don't they?

Nice pics tknife. I have an alox soldier and wish it were a farmer. Those farmers seem almost impossible to comeby via retail which is how I usually buy my saks.

Looks like that stream has a heavy blue-green algal bloom happening. One has to be careful when the water is overly green like that since cyanobacteria such as microcystis can produce hepatoxins.
 
I ordered mine online, I haven't seen the Farmer in retail stores either. Actually, I rarely see any of the alox models in stores.

I won't be attempting another hike in the heat of the day, that was pretty brutal!
