Daddy/daughter time

went for a short hike with my daughter yesterday.
She likes to carry her own pack, but as we were only going out for a few hours we just used mine.
So without her pack weighing her down she took off like a rocket:


It's illegal to light fires in the wood in my area at the time, but i figgured she could still learn how to process some firewood to get a little practice for later.
Letting her baton a nasty log with my RtakII (I know i need a 9. I can't not have a nine):


Next chore on the list was making some shavings for tinder. The 15 is great at this:


Her turn. She'll need a little practice. I think i'll have to get her an 11 or 14 of her own:


All in all a nice little field trip. I hope to get time for a longer trip next weekend.
On weekdays i'm usually at the gym or the shooting range after work, so weekends are our playtime:)
Right on man. what a great time, my daughter and I take one day every so often just me and her, its great. our next trip will be soon, she likes to kayak or hike and take pics of the scenery.

Right on man! I love Daddy/Daughter time!

This is the cutest pic Ive seen in a long time!
 
Good to see an other norwegian becker enthusiast. Great pics! Im looking forward to 15. September, when we can light camp fires again.
 
Thanks for the cute pictures Norse and HWF -

I am planning on getting my granddaughters out in the local woods - I have tons of woods around my area, and the girls are big enough now to go out with Grandpa.

These are my favorite threads! As parents we are responsible for getting kids outside to enjoy nature and this is a super example of how to make it fun and teach good outdoor skills. Lovely scenery, cool dog, happy kiddo and knives, what else do you need to make a fun outing and great pics?
 
My little girl out on our last kayak trip. We got another one planned this fall.

Daddy daughter time is the best!! Thanks for the kind words guys. And keep the pics coming!
 
Guess it's time to bring this one back up.
My daughter went to the playground with her Mom and little brother today, so i got to spend some daddy/dog time. 7-8 mile hike in 4 hours with two coffee breaks on the highest peaks i could find... Awesomeness :D
Daddy and dogs. Caesar on the left, Kira on the right and my ugly mug smack in the middle:P :

Resting while daddy has his coffee:

Scenery and, of course, becker content:
 
Thanks for the pictures makes me homesick for the TN/KY mountains
We have some beautiful spots here in FL but nothing is as breathtaking beautiful to me as the Mountains.
One of my girls is knife gun and camping crazy like me. The other one wants nothing but phone and shopping.
 
looks like a great time shes a cutey, and those two body guards are awesome too!!!!
