Another family outing

tonym · Nov 11, 2008

A few weeKs ago, Big Mike showed me a nice spot with a waterfall. My wife loves waterfalls so I figured she and my daughter would enjoy it.

I also got a new knife recently so I figured I'ld play with that.

It was about a 2 mile hike to the waterfall, so I figured the wifey and daughter would like some hot cocoa when we got there. No stove here, so fire was needed.

We had alot of rain lately, so I figured the knife would get a good work out batoning, but the last day and a half of bright sun dried everything really well.
I found some birch bark and plenty of dead hemlock twigs for the fire.

While waiting for the water to boil I figured I would beat the crap out of the Fiddleback Bushcraft senior.

My daughter kept trying to help, so I didn't play long. The knife performed excellent at the tasks I gave it.

More coming

This was the FiddlleBack Bushy that Andy called a bunk. Yeah it's not his prettiest work, but it still feels great in hand and sharp as hell. It was a pleasure to use, I wish I had more time to beat the crap out of it.

None of that stuff matters unless it can be shared.

Tony, you got a whole lot more to come back to.

Nice family!

Great photos tony. Now you better re-vote on the baton thread

DOC-CANADA · Nov 11, 2008

KuRUpTD honestly took the words out of my mouth, although I was somewhat more envious

Great seeing you use the Guyot, GS. That is my new method of cooking. I don't know if you saw my post in the thread about the Sterno, but it might be of interest to you, as well.

Thanks for the kind words fellas.

I voted :thumbup: Just because sometimes there is no need to baton, doesn't mean I won't baton
