I went camping with CrowSniper & his son & a friend (SilverFox) It was just an over nighter at FishPond lake..a small man made lake in the PayneGap area of SE Kentucky. We had NO LUCK at fishing but still had fun trying to get fire going using our firesteel & Fatwood ( everything around seemed to be Damp) & it came a storm thru the night. The next day we worked on figure 4's & Snares. He are the pics -

Looks like a great time at a great location.

If i had access to a spot like that, a canoe or kayak would be on my short list. Looks like you'd have the whole lake to yourself. :thumbup:
 
We worked on our trap skills a little bit -

Great pics Thomas, That sure looks and sounds like you guys had a great time.
That area you were in looks like a neat place to camp at.
Very good choice of cutting tools ;)
To bad a bout the fishing not being very good for ya.
Making up the traps is so fun to do.

Thanks for sharing them.
