So, the weather was beautiful today, i was off & daughter (TwinStick Jr) was out of school for a week. I hit the tri-fecta. Loaded up the knife bin in the Power Wagon & off we went. I showed her some spots i kinda chopped my way into last hunting season. Looks MUCH different at the end of summer vs now.

So, first off, i made some simple mods that make a HUGE difference, to the BK4 sheath.

I had some split D-rings i bought from a hardware store. Used 2 Leatherman tools & bent the split apart enough to slide the sheaths belt loop in. Then bent it back & attatched a double snap belt keeper to it for attatchment to your belt. While the stock sheath already has that feature, when the handle is double strapped in, it becomes solid.

Added a shoe lace for a leg tie.

It now allows total freedom of movement when working, squatting, bending, getting into/out of vehicles, etc...

So, off we go, trimming trails & shooting lanes for deer season.

If you look closely, you can see the elusive TwinStick Jr (a rare sight indeed), trimming a shooting lane with the BK4. She seemed to really like the BK4.

Now, this pic, we don't know WTH this is. ^ Some kind of natural hybred ? It looks like 2 totally different kind of trees. Kinda looks like a birch crossed with something else ??? Anyone know ?

Well, thats the end of our little outing. There was a fairly good sized tree down, maybe 18" or so in dia across the path. Didn't even need the lockers, just 4 Hi, 1st gear, swaybar disconnected & it idled right over it. That was fun. Hope you enjoy the pics.
 
WTF? It looks like someone's doing some sort of clandestine dark-ops birch grafting in your neck of the woods. I blame the Canadians - especially if that's a maple that they're spliced to - trying to taint our syrup supply so they can make become the soul source of fine maple syrup. Don't be a victim! If you see something, say something!
 
looks like a great outing! That BK4 is growing on me. I like how u have yours set up. I bet that spot holds deer...sure looks like it should!


This could also be a entry to my contest... (jussayin)
 
Wait, what ? A contest ???

Now i'm all discombobulated, i can't find it, POST A LINK !!!

Edit: Nevermind, i found it. Thanks

Looks like fun. The 4 is growing on me too. Wasn't even really interested in it too much at first.
 
Looks like a good time, thank you for sharing it. That tree is odd. Looks like a cross between a beech tree and a sourwood.
 
Nice pics, I need to get back out. Got caught in a downpour last weekend, kinda fun though. thanks for sharing your trip.
