Shelter in progress. This is the first shelter like this I have tried, well actually, this is the first shelter I have done in a looong time:D. I might get some more action photos during the weekend.

I hope everyone likes the chair in the background on the last photo:D. I did not see that until just now. My wife took the first 4 pictures and was studying in the chair while I was playing. Couldn't have done it without her:)
 
Mr. Fennell,

I sent you a couple more pics. You know how big the BK2 is, and yes, that's a real live critter :D Don't know if its really what you were looking for, it's name is Khan. He matches up nicely with the BK2 though, doesn't he? hehe... He told me he would rather cuddle up with a BK10 though... (Khan is a scorpion)

Regards,

Shaun.
 
I really want the BK-10 but sadly dont have any beckers at present!
So instead I thought I'd post this ultra-sound of my heart which looks remarkably like a monster.

Dang, too late for me.

I have a BK9 and haven't had a chance to get out in the woods to take any action and using pix yet so here is a table top pic.

Hey Sorridsky, nice ultra sound. Hope everything was alright.

It was worth a try :)

Sadly I dont have pics of my BK9, I may have to go try again to get some but it will be too late for the contest. Never the less I will share what I had been doing.

I pulled the handles off the BK9 and using it and alot of paracord I attached it to the end of a 6 foot tree to create a boarspear of sorts. Thought I would see how it would work as a improvised spear in a survival setting.
It was pretty fun, but I would need to work on the balance if I wished to use it as a throwing weapon. It worked fine for thrusting and such.

I also went out onto the lake to see how well it would allow me to chip a hole into the ice to do some ice fishing. Well the ice is nearly 3 feet thick still so it was going to take forever but the BK9 with a shaft on it appeared to be willing to do the job.

Wish I had taken pics now :(

I think the BK9 was a little large for this, a BK7 may have been a better call but I have not picked one up as of yet.
 
Tip Down sent this pic, and while the contest asked for "BK&T's Outdoors", I thought I would post the pic for everyone to get some "kit ideas".....

cheers FivePointOhh,
me and the Ol ticker had an argument a couple years ago, I was only 19, so a little frustrating, But seems to have been a one time disagrement so far! :)

The nurse gasped when she saw it and printed me a picture. I havent been able to watch any of the Alien films since!
 
Glad to hear Sorridsky. LOL on the Alien films. :D

Will, now that's different. Is that a piece of Slim-Jim in the bottom handle? LOL Took me a bit to realize that I was looking at the inside of the handles. :) I've been thinking of making new handles with finger grooves for my BK9 out of some exotic wood.
 
:D
The link does not seem to work as an image* so to see the "three" pictures, two of which are actually collages, you will have to go here:

Camillus Becker Patrol Machete and Combat Utility 7 in use on coconuts.

Here are some outdoors pictures of my daughter trying out the Camillus Becker Patrol Machete and Combat Utility 7 on some coconuts. You might notice the CUDA® Talonite "Talon" also clipped to her belt loop. :cool:

The young coconut is softer and a different type, so the top could have been sliced off and straw inserted like at tropical beaches. We were experimenting, however with how the Patrol Machete sliced into the coconut, how the outside shell came apart, and some random destruction. You can see that the placement of coconut away from the stem, or in other words near the bottom and pointy part of the coconut. Thus, if you want to save the inside shell you would probably want to angle you slices to start at the top and not go to far in the side. The patrol machete gave good penetration. :D With it, you don't need a husking stick! :D

On the older coconut you can see the back of the Combat Utility being used to tap around the outside of the hard shell, until it cracked like an egg. You can then drink the milk, eat the flesh, and save the two halves of the shell for other purposes. This one was actually too old and although I have found older ones that were Ok, this one was no longer suitable for eating. It did have a yellowish potato like core that was forming that I just read can be eaten, best baked, but we did try it.

* If there is a way to link to just a picture on the space I have at www.bellsouth.net I have not figured it out. If someone wants to post them as images that would be fine, perhaps I should email them to Will. :)
 
Donald, it's quite easy. You allready have them on your web page so just right click on the image you want and select 'copy image address' Then hit the IMG button in the post message window and paste the address you copied in the text window. Or, you can just paste it in the body of the message with [ img]IMAGE ADDRESS[/img ] tags around it leaving out the spaces in the brackets.

Here is one of the pix.

Dave (FivePointOhh)

Thanks for the tip. :cool: I don't get that choice :( when I right click.* I can, however, look at properties :eek: and choose the address there. I'll try it here with another one of the images:
BeckerCollage40percentfilesize.jpg


And the last image:
BeckerPic-80percent.jpg


Now I will find out if that works. (The preview shows that it does. :D Yes!!!)

*How do you get that choice and I don't? What I have to do may be clumsier, but if it works, that is a good start! Thanks for the inspiration.
 
Thanks Donald, glad I could help.

I use the Opera web browser. In Netscape it says 'copy image location'. Internet Explorer doesn't give you that option. I guess that's one more reason why I don't use IE.
 
5.0,

nice pics - I like the fact that one of them shows using the spine of the BK&T to crack the coconut.
