Ouch!

Did you experiment more with the Hawk, ulu style or such like?

We used it a lot for fire because we didn't bring a filter or use tabs, we boiled and boiled. What was so great is that I never got one ding in it even being in a rocky creek bed.

Had a few fixed blades in camp and good SAK so no need to use it ulu style.
The only reason we had that many knives was for a project Reza is working on.

Wondering about this, also. Different G.G. pack or different maker?

Sorry about that, been crazy lately.
They sent me that to gear test and I like it. Small, yet I got my whole winter load in there. Very durable (140 denier dyneema gridstop ripstop nylon (Main body)
210 denier double rip riptstop nylon) and it comes with a cool orange whistle on the buckle, but I took it off and saved a couple of ounces.

Especially love the pic from the top of the falls and that last one of a creek or drainage:thumbup:

I find a few similar but smaller rock formations like those on a couple of the local trails. I got to witness one being made one day when I was meditating on a bluff a ways above one of the trails. Some teenagers were hiking along the trail, stopped for a break, and then started piling stones and making designs. I suppose it could have been some sort of primal calling to the young, but I attributed it to hyper-active kids burning energy. Either way I'd rather see them in the woods building small stone structures than sitting on their @$$es playing video games.

Sorry, but...pet peeve. It's vandalism. People wanting to leave their mark. For me, they're no less disrupting to the natural scene than the trash I pack out. Cairns on unmarked or barely visible trails, or ones that might be covered in snow, etc., serve a purpose. Anywhere else, which includes any clear and/or marked trail here in the South, I destroy and scatter them all.
 
Reuben.. is Oakwilde the place you and I hiked to that time I damn near stepped on that ratter? Those pics look really familiar.
