Nice to see pinoys going from tropical to northern woods, now all we need is a desert pinoy camper
indeed. only person i've seen that's close enough is bearthedog - he wears our flag/t-shirt from time to time and have seen more of the philippines than i have! he's got connections there whereas i'd probably get robbed and stabbed as soon as i leave the airport.
Looks like another fun trip.
That compass is a good one.
yeah, him and lmt66 have given me expensive stuff for free!
Awesome photos man, you must be really diggin' that Spyderco. I have my favorite spots to meditate in but to me half the fun is exploring and finding new places, I never camp the same place too many times in a row. As far as I'm concerned a little burned only improves the taste of spam
. We have a lot of hollow trees around these parts too.
that's my favorite knife in that size. i hear yah on exploring (that's how i accidentally found this spot weeks ago while just wandering off trail). it's hard to leave this pile of firewood so quickly though knowing i spent several hours hauling it all by myself back to camp.
with that said, the emberlit is a game changer for me! i can now camp at practically any spot without worries of fuel (i have a snowpeak stove but i'm more of a camper than a hiker so for me cooking over an open fire is the top priority on my trips). i'm planning a group camp out this april too so it's a good timing so i'll leave the rest of that pile for my friends and move on to a different spot next trip.
thanks!
That looks great! One of things i miss most, when doing multiday trips are fresh fruit and veggies. I thought for a second, that you gave up on spam, but sure enough - spam content found at the end
By the way, why does the Bushcraft suck at food prep? I mean, it gets the cutting chores done right?
Thanks for taking us along.
thanks! ditto on the fresh fruit and veggies. i happen to leave the house a little later than usual and the bagel shop i usually stop-by had them prepared already so i snagged one up.
yes, the bushcraft cuts...maybe it's just because i prefer more of a chopping style when it comes to my food prep
gotta have spam! although i must say though that i'm about to go below 170 lbs with all the hiking/biking i've been doing this past 2 yrs. people might think i'm severely overweight with all the spam pics in my threads!
good stuff man.... i do have an issue with the spam too LOL.. gross. mystery meat in a can... yes i am from the souf and yes this ole southern boy will not eat spam. ever
thanks! spam is indeed an acquired taste. it's high in calories and salt and there's really no need to cook it - perfect outdoor fuel for those of us who like it...maybe try dousing it with hot sauce?
Nothing wrong with soot on your food! Just adds flavor.
I really want to get one of these emberlit stoves. I didn't realize he made them in titanium now.
but i'm a spam connoisseur (i had to google that word for the spelling, lol). i like mine with just the right crispiness on the outside but still moist in the inside
Brilliant pictures amigo.
I enjoy seeing how the camp had held up, your experimentation and reviews.
I get the food prep issues with the Spydie. It goes flying all over the shop if you're not careful.
The blade thickness, angle of the grind and it's broad shoulders split rather than slice don't they.
Thanks for taking the time to document and share.
thanks! i guess it's good that the bushcraft isn't good at slicing. my friends already roll their eyes when they see me use my woods knife in the kitchen, no doubt adding another one will inevitably get me kicked out of the food prep stage...some people are just too obsessed with germs...i mean i did wash the machete first before doing this
