After it warmed up this afternoon the twins & me decided to take a walk in the woods. We hit the usual trail, the gas line road across from our house.

When we go out like this I lile to try to teach the boy's a little something new about the outdoors, we have all kinds of Beech Trees all around us so I pointed them out to the twins & showed them what the tree looked like & what the nuts looked like & how to hull them out. They taste good !

We decided to try making a small fire just for fun & practice but everything was really damp, we got it to lite one time for a very short time. We didn't bring any tinder from home so I showed the boy's another way to get a little extra tinder by scrapping my jeans -

In the pic where I'm getting the Beech nut hulled out, it looks like Brady s picking his nose ! LOL...he was scratching his lip ! He told me to be sure to let you guy's know !
 
That looks like a blast. I really love that area.
The boys must be absolutely in heaven out there.
 
Awesome post bro, good to see you and the boys out and about. They are growing up quick! Looks like they really enjoy being out and getting to put those Moras to use. That must be the new folder you were telling me about.

Love that MW EDC !

PS. Tell Brady that I'm always picking my nose when out in the woods, if I can't do it there then where can I do it !!!!;)
 
LOL! Does a bear ___ in the woods,does a man pick his nose in the woods?
Heck yeah!
Great pics man.
Seeing the golok in hand has me thinking I might have to get one,
for some reason I thought they were longer.
It's good to see the boys using their Moras too.
Thanks for sharing.

Great photos, you are a great dad. Your wife is gonna be pissed when the boys start wearing mysterious holes in their pants there dad! LOL.

The Golok is awsome ! The size & design of the Condor Golok is just right for me. After using the Condor Golok, I don't think I'll be using my Trams or Ontarios anymore :p The boy's picked those Moras out while we were on vacation last summer in Tenn. at SMKW.

The Mora's came from Smokey Mountian Knife Works.
 
How old are your boys? My little guy just turned 3, I can't wait to get him out in the woods and teach him some things.
 
Great pics, the boys look like they had a fantastic time, but then so does dad
