Ok so I asked which knife to take today for a hike and I had a mixed response, seeing as I showed my MOD4 all messed up yesterday I thought I'd take that today now he's all cleaned up !

As this hike is nearly all up-hill I started to regret bringing the added weight of the MOD4 !!!

A much needed rest stop....

This gnarly terrain is hard work !!!

The views near the top were spoiled slightly by mist !

Not that Maisy is interested in views, as long as she has sticks she is happy !!!

I soon came to this mountain lagoon and thought it a good rest spot before my return....

Maisy kept watch whilst I poured some tea and took some more pics of my blade...

You know I'll be the first to admit that a Mora would make better feather sticks etc but this beast can still get the job done and seeing as I ask for my knives to be able to chop, hack, pry and butcher I would take a knife such as this over your Mora type blades any day !!!

At this point my tea was gone and it was time to return to the parking lot !!!
 
Always nice to see those pics. Nonsense about the mist spoiling the view, a misty morning is one of my favorite sights!
 
Very nice, I'm planning a trip out that way this summer/fall, and ending up in whitehorse.
 
Maisy should be named the official canine mascot of W&S. Anyone second this? :thumbup:
 
thirded. Maisy for mascot!!!
 
The gavel of the W&S court has cracked, and Maisy has been officially declared the Bladeforums Wilderness & Survival Forum Mascot, and Calendar Canine. All in favor, say, "Aye!"
 
Man that green looks so inviting. Sitting here with yet another snowfall this morning. Great shots and looking forward to that thaw. Till then I'll just have to watch you folks out west!
 
excellent pics.

i agree, that knife is a bit of overkill for a dayhike. get comfy with the light tools and you won't have to worry about having the heavy ones along...
