Photos A Walk in Nature

LOL guys

I've managed to lose 100 plus pounds since the summer of 2018.

I initially lost some weight back in 2018 and then plateaued for a long time.
Since starting again in January 2022 I lost another 70 pounds.

NO MORE REFINED CARBS for me !
My Verijero will make sure of that

Congratulations sir. Any sustained weight loss is an accomplishment but 100 pounds is a major accomplishment

Wow Dan, that's incredible, well done! You look like one of those 'Slimmer of the Year' ads! What did you do with your old clothes?! I'm going to have to get some tips buddy!

Thank you guys !

I shared this as a way to motivate me even more not to let my guard down.
Now is the crucial period were so much progress could be lost.

I do feel so much better now !
I am off all my meds ( blood pressure, cholesterol and prediabetes ) and feel much more energized.
Also that so called "mental fog" is much improved. This in turn has helped in dealing with the difficult times we have experienced this past year.

Beautiful vistas and rock formations !
The phrase " In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks " caught my eye
Nice getaway, smiles all around and quality time spent with your loved ones

Don’t feel bad. I wouldn’t have either.I seen it online about 15 or so years ago and finally made it down there. Really interesting area.

Found a down tree with some good sections of birch bark, suitable for a few puukko handles.

I left my foot in the photo so you can all see this tree is fallen to the ground. The ground under the section is a good clue too!



Peeled off easily. Will make some nice handles.



Good few hours in the woods.

I love the last picture Ray
The stag, the colours, the reds on the handle and the bark

Can’t wait to see the beautifully dressed puukkos that will result from that bark

 

[RayseM]

Thanks Dan - was a serendipitous juxtaposition Hey - you used to have a birch bark handled puukko didn't you?
As for seeing my next edition - that will wait a while. Making sheaths these days. Quite a challenge to get those right and looking good.

 

[kamagong]

Birch bark is wonderful.

Weren't they an early 70's Prog Rock band?!
