Gary, that lanyard looks awesome! Even the ends look melted into a nice attractive shape. I'm just starting to tie a few lanyards and am curious, is that a diamond knot on top and how do you do the ends? Thanks!

 

[Gary W. Graley]

Thanks it’s a wide diamond knot and a bit tricky to tie but you end up with a very nice knot
The ends after the three snake knots what you do is bring the lighter back and forth as you rotate the cord so it ends up making a mushroom shape end

Headed up to a couple of Alpine Lakes this week. This was a spot I hit a couple of weeks ago on a cloudy day, so I decided to revisit on a clear one. In total I probably walked around 12-14 miles. It's tough to say how much elevation gain, because at this spot you hike up to a peak, then down into a lake, and then I went further to another lake above that sits around 4,850ft. It was a bit smoky, but a beautiful day nonetheless.

Finally over the ridge, looking down into the basin of the lake.

At the lake

Most stop here, but if you keep going you can access the other end of the lake by going over another ridge, and get the place to yourself.

By this time it was right at noon, so I figured this was a great place to stop and break fast. The berries are almost past, but they were still abundant enough that I could gather plenty to compliment my meal. I also decided this was the perfect time for a cold plunge. The water was ice cold , but since the sun was out it didn't take long to warm back up on the rocks afterwards.

Refreshed and replenished, I decided that my journey was only halfway over, and that I'd go on to the next lake. I've never been there before, and I just couldn't resist. Onward and upward (literally ).

Well worth the extra effort

A welcoming refreshment back at the ride after an 8 hr day, to last me until I can hit the taco spot for some carnitas.

I'm finding a regular diamond knot to be a bit tricky! Your results look great, thanks for the info and link.

Received this Kizer Drop Bear by accident from a retailer. After handling it for a few minutes I decided to keep it instead of the knife I ordered. I wouldn't have chosen this color combo for myself but it's really growing on me. The action on this is insane. Looking forward to using this for the month of October.

I love a happy accident.

I keep hearing good things about the Drop Bear and I think there are a couple of variations heading down the pike. If they do one with a different handle material, I might try it out.

In the meantime, I was carrying this little Kizer Pinkerton Shard today...

The only thing I could complain about is I think they should have nested the liners. It would make it feel much slimmer.
