Becker BK's, that is. Okay, so we didn't go out into the wild blue yonder, but we did go to a campground in southern Illinois, at Rend Lake. Had a great time, and finally got a chance to use some of my blades.

Here's what I had with me. BK9, BK2, Mora MG, CS American Lawman, BK14, KA-BAR Dozier folder, and my KFU wide blade EDC:

The wood I had was already split, so I made some kindling with my 9:

Threw the kindling on some dry pine needles. I wanted to use my KFU custom with the firesteel. This thing has a wicked squared spine, and I knew it would throw out the sparks. It didn't disappoint. That's a cheapo firesteel too:

Can you see the horse's head in the flames?

Used the BK2 for more kindling at a later time. This is busting the BK2's cherry:

Smoke in the sun light. Just thought it looked cool:

Okay, let's eat something. We'll put the BK14 to work:

Slice up a little bit of bell pepper:

A little onion:

A few potatoes:

Fry up the peppers and onions in a little olive oil, and potatoes and onions in a skillet. (I know, roughing it, lol):

Throw some sweet Italian sausage on the fire. Normally I don't use foil, but on an outdoor grill that others use, and birds probably shit on, um, yeah:

The result:

Damn, just about forgot the ketchup:

Bon appetit!

Hot apple pie in an iron over the fire for dessert:

I just Google earthed it, hour and 44 minutes, lol. So glad to get out. Not roughing it by any means, but fun none the less.
 
Damn Warrior! That 9 looks like a 10 in your hands :D

Looks like it was a blast!!

We have one of those pie makers too. They are pretty nifty and my wife won't go camping without it :DLOL
 
I am soooo jealous - but this coming weekend I will be breaking in my new BK7 and 11 with friends.

Thanks for all the great shots and the inspiration.
 
Glad to see ya got out for some blade play, great pics. Dig the effects on the sunrise ones
 
Awesome, awesome shots. I could feel how fun it was for you to be using all your toys. Wish I had been there; a virgin BK2 being used for the first time woulda been a sight to behold.
