Cabin Fun

[stabman]

My friend knows someone who owns 6000 acres of land.
She has a small hunting cabin on one portion of it, and said we were welcome to use it.
So off we went for some cabin fun last weekend.

Proper tools for the job, right?

(one of my two times per year that a cigar is allowed ):

TOPS SXB is actually pretty good:

Certainly bites in as well as the Junglas...

Some of the knives:

We're on an adventure!

Take that, chair!

Cabin seen from halfway down the hill:

More cabin shots:

Yeah, it snowed:

So why not drink?

And smoke?

Cabin by night:

I mentioned the snow, right?

Drying out gloves and heating up some water:

But this is what it's all about; good friends and knives (they're holding the knives I brought as cabin gifts...cabins are better with gifts of knives ) :

That's one I made back in 2011.

Still going strong, and I don't mind letting other people use it as I cannot see any way they could manage to break it. :thumbup:

Gal darn it stabby, you always have the best photos! Interesting to see the size comparison of the tops and your blue monster compared to the Junglas (a knife I own). Thanks for posting em.

The secret is to take a ton of pictures...that way, some of them turn out good.

Pictures that allow for size comparison are always useful, I find. I know that when I'm looking at a new knife, seeing it next to one I know the size of is very helpful.

That Junglas belongs to one of my friends...and is getting used for sure. He's pounded in tent pegs with the flat of the blade, and throws it too.
He isn't scared to "uglify" a knife along the way.

That looks like an awesome time. Gives me the fever to get outdoors and do something! Thanks for sharing. :thumbup:

I know what you mean.
Looking at the pictures makes me want to get out again!

6000 acres!!! Sounds like paradise. I am happy going to hunting camp on 60 acres. Looks like you had a great time stabman.

Thats me hacking the chair and smoking! Had a really great time with two old friends and enjoyed a few knives and meals together. I really enjoy using knives. Along with the junglas i had a grohman no 4 i used for food prep and a spyderco native i edc'd that day. Stabman gave me a kabar mrk1 which ive always wanted. I plan to break it in and hand down to my son when hes old enough. Hopefully we can make it up again this winter during hunting season. The best part stabmans an insomniac so he keeps the stove going.
