Bushcrafting with Beckers!

[CoolBreeze135]

Hey folks! Made it out for an overnight trip this weekend. Took my BK16 and BK4 as my tools. I'll let the pics speak for themselves.

Carved a dead fall trap entirely with the Machax. Does great fine work in addition to the obvious big chores:

Good to see someone getting out again. I need to do the same. The wife and I were just taking about doing another hike.

Great pics - thanks for sharing.

As soon as I saw the title of this thread I knew there would be Tweener content and most likely, a BK16; I was right and the BK4 content was a bonus!

Thanks again for sharing as I sometimes feel my dirt time and knife usage is done vicariously though the posting of the faithful here.

Of course! The 16 is a perfect bushcraft blade. Even better with a pair of liners to add a little girth to the handle.

That's starting to look like a well loved Machax.:thumbup:

Thanks E! I think it was eastern white pine. I split down some 3" pieces and the inner stuff was perfect.

What, no armchairs? And you call this a bushcrafting thread.....

Thanks for the pics. Glad to see 'em, nice to see you getting out and using your $#!+.....though I guess I would never refer to any of the Beckers as that, really. It's just an expression - obviously, by all the nicely crafted stuff you made from bush.

Awesome pics; looked like a great weekender. The 4 and 16 are my favorite woods-bumming pair.

Thanks for showing us your countryside. And as always, nice knives.

CoolBreeze,

Your thread (and pics) inspired me to at least take the 4 and the 16 and put them on the desk near the monitor whilst viewing this thread!
