I just took a short walk to the creek again today, but I've also been taking a few more pictures again though lately so thought I'd share some

I'm out of leather for sheaths right now so I was playing with ideas for what to do with some more flexible stuff I had laying around, found this cheap baton with on of those cheap foam handles and decided it might be fun to replace it, it was

It's a little too short for a walking stick but it came in useful for pushing the long crass and overgrown branches out the way, plus we're still not out of snake season yet and we tend to get a lot of them around the creek. (for me, 5 in one season is a lot, Remember i come from a place where there are none, and I can't get used to the idea no matter how much I read about them)

Nice handle wrap Peter.:thumbup:You're lucky to have a creek so close to wander around by.
And don't sweat the snakes-they don't want anything to do with you either.:p
 
Looks like a nice time. We are hoping to get out this afternoon for a hike.
 
thanks both,

myke: my fear is that f there is a rake in the middle of an empty field I will be the one to step on it an have ti slap my face, so despite a snakes best efforts... :)
 
good to see some pics peter! that baton handle is cool. :thumbup:
 
just some more random shots

Got some more leather today and fixed a new sheath, trying some new things, kinda like it, , now I think about it I probably could have put the hiker in this picture instead of the BK16, sorry about that, it's the 16 that needs the sheath is all
