I have recently learned that I will be traveling to Nashville for a day or two while they do the MOHS procedure on the side of my head. So I have been trying to tie up some loose ends first. I have been working on a couple of different projects related to "urban survival" type studies. Urban survival is a very broad subject and which aspects of it you are dealing with largely determines the preferred cutting tools for me. In a natural disaster type setting I like having a rough use knife I don't mind hurting. In the lecture I'm doing I will be going over how that can be similar to a wilderness survival type knife, but also what the differences are and why those are important to take into consideration. In other urbanized situations discretion is more of a concern. That's one reason the Bushboot is an edc for me. It serves as my base layer cutting tool, then I add a larger tool in kits when the situation calls for it. I thought I'd share the pics from the recent outing to work on these projects.
Some of the odd things you see connecting to wi-fi at hotels...
Similar but VERY different survival knives.
I like the discretion of the Bushboot when I am dressed light and traveling light, but it has the attitude I like in my edc knife. Handy to have, easily tucked away, and can be more effective in close quarter self defense, like elevators, than other methods.
Handy dinner companion as well
Back at the room, I made the window open all the way so I could remove the annoying reflection from the glass there and work on more of my artistic photos. No balcony at this location, but I like the location... I am displaying some of my art at a local venue now as well.
Then hitting the leftovers the next morning. Plastic butter knives don't work very well on leftover steak...
The next night was more wandering for photos, but most of the photos I took I can't share as I won't retain intellectual rights to them... but dinner at Mellow Mushroom was nice
Then the next day it was back to work in other areas... Bushboot still in my left front pocket

...strokes that straighten the arm using the strength of the triceps muscles, either in downward movements or across the opponents body, the dull edge glides over either clavicle to enter the large vessels near the heart, and in the instance of a feinted slash to the upper body and cutting to the midsection, the dull edge hits the lower rib on the left to direct the blade to the spleen. The bushboot is indeed very good for a lefty. That elevator would be a bloody mess. Hope I did not offend anyone. Luckily I am over 60 , in semiretirement and probably way out of shape to be caught in an elevator.
