Last weekend my girlfriend and me went into the Palatinate Forest to collect sweet chestnuts and go for a small* hike.
I brought my 14 as edc (two weeks old, loving it, already modded it a bit, perfect edc knife!)
As my better half really loves sweet chestnuts, she could not resist starting the collecting quite early in the hike and thus I've had time to take lots of pics of the beautiful Pfälzer Wald
This part of the forest is quite unkempt and therefore the perfect backround for the 14
Well, after her backpack was full, we shared the load and hiked on through forests, hills and the beautiful autumn here in south Germany.
One funny thing occurred: When walking along a pasture, there was a donkey - coming over to us, grumbling, wanting the apple my girlfriend was eating very very badly...
He got it and was an very happy donkey afterwards
I even found something scary (Yep, it was on Saturday, Halloween) A knot in a tree, that looked quite like a skull:
We walked and walked, rewarded with a new highlight every few steps:
...*all in all we took 7 hours and did 26km.
After we got home there was some work left:
3,2 kg of sweet chestnuts to roast... I'm quite happy you can put them into the freezer
On this hike the 14 excelled at the following jobs:
- Stabbing chestnuts
- Prying the nuts from their thorny shells
- Carving a toothpick
- Preparing food (Cutting rolls, apples, sausages...)
Thanks for reading, it was a really enjoyable day!
