Becker Free Fallin’ Snarkin’

[tanglediver]

Thank you Beckerheads, one and all! We're simply grateful she doesn't need to suffer any longer.
So, we move on.

Took my wife to eat and watch the sun go down. I hope I get some nookie tonight.







Happy Valentines Beckerheads.

Happy Valentines Beckerheads.

Back at ya

Came home and cooked instead though

Drove through the local wildlife refuge a few hours ago, counted 53 deer, and 21 turkeys. All over the place.

made a shallow bowl adze out of a hammerhead and a scrap of locally harvested oak left over from building the house.

the spike on the back is for moving small logs & firewood -- like a short pickaroon.

 

[The Warrior]

Very cool man.

 

[1066vik]

thanks - it was totally an experiment to see how difficult it would be to reshape a hammer.
thinking about making a camping hatchet next time.

 

[daizee]

Very cool!!

I'm in the process of smashing on a no-name ball-peen hammer head (12oz?) I picked up a few weeks ago. Smashes MUCH easier than my rudder bearings...

 

[1066vik]

Yeah. I was surprised at how easy it was to reshape

I scored a Primus 8R stove off fleabay today, and got it for $62. I couldn't even believe I won the bid. A little rare, as most 8R stoves are made by Optimus, who later took over Primus. And as much as the wife and I go antiquing, I never see any camp stoves, or hiking stoves. Today was different. I already have one, but scored an Optimus 99 for $35. Both of these stoves routinely sell for $100 plus:







As I saw it on the shelf:

 

[Aikiguy]

Damn, that’s a sweet score Dubz. Awesome prices on both of them.

 

[MolokaiRider]

Nice haul. Those older stoves (like many other things made back then) are such great quality.

I miss the days when you could buy an item, and with proper care keep it going for many, many years.

Sadly, it seems most things nowadays only last a short while, then get tossed.

Except Beckers. They keep on ticking!

 

[The Warrior]

Thanks guys. I recently purchased an Optimus 111B for a c note. They go on fleabay for $250 plus. Been patient, and trying to find good deals. Stoves are like knives to me, in the addicting sense. Turning into a regular stovie.

I fired it up earlier.

Priming it:



Some shots in the light, then dark:

Got a one inch Scotch eyed auger in the mail today. Word.

Time to head back to the cabin and make some new campfire furniture

That's really what I bought it for. Fart around at the cabin. Have eyed these down for years, decided to take the plunge. Added photos, btw.

 

[1066vik]

Much prettier than mine!

 

[The Warrior]

Much prettier than mine!

Just new is all.
