EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

They sure are, sir! Balsam Fir can be brutal for falling over from a stiff breeze. We also have a bunch of pine, hemlocks and cedars in our softwood bushes. Our hardwood bushes are where I love to be. Many species of maples, birches, oaks, black cherrys and others.

Merry Christmas!! Wishing you and yours a very happy weekend.

Our lower 27, with our camp, has two stands--the larger being uphill and a northern hardwoods mix of sugar maple, ash, and beech with a little pine and balsam mixed in. The other is along our northern bordering creek which drains the three surrounding hills and ridges of our little valley and is comprised of cedar, balsam, yellow birch, and the occasional pine, the quality of those trees just so-so.

Just a couple stones' throw up the unmaintained extension of our road is our northern 33 comprising the eastern two peaks of a long curving hill, the highest in our half of our sleepy town. Those woods are also northern hardwoods mix, mostly sugar maple and ash with some pockets of softwood thrown in here and there. Our acre plus hilltop meadow looks eastward across the Connecticut River Valley. I'm always happiest in our hardwood stands, too.

Best wishes to you and yours as well for a most Happy Holiday, and I hope you can enjoy the blessings of electricity along the way.

Geez, with 100 degree temps under the Australian sun you need to remember to use some sunscreen on your knives.

But seriously, that’s a cool Esse. Don’t recall seeing it before.

I was lucky enough to get it for Christmas today. Older stock with the skull on the blade.
Sunscreen for everyone and an eye out for the odd snake 😂🤣
 
In Orlando to celebrate Christmas with our granddaughters so I decided to stick with this little guy for a few more days.

On a side note; loading up the car late yesterday afternoon it was in the low 80’s without a cloud in sight….and I was bitching about the heat.

Three hours later we got out of the car and were greeted by 29 degree temperatures with a RealFeel of 21…..and I was bitching about the cold.

At least now it feels more like Christmas. Just wish I had listened to my wife and packed some warm clothes. I look like a dork walking around in shorts and shivering incessantly.

Anyway, I hope all you folks dealing with the truly cold weather stay warm and safe and that everyone enjoys a wonderful holiday season surrounded by friends and family!

Forgive the lack of participation lately. I've now had a full week of high fever and ended up in the hospital for a day. It's just a bad strain of the standard flu but it makes both times I had COVID feel like a walk in the park. I'm still coughing up a little blood but the steroids are a godsend. They've helped me to finally get a few things done around here and now it finally looks a little bit like Christmas. :)

I used this Sencut Neches for a lot of little chores along the way. It's super basic but super good for what it is. I'm pretty sure this knife came out in January and has hung on to be my favorite budget knife of the year.

Santa got lucky here with the PBJT - a mash-up of traditional jelly thumbprints and peanut-butter cookies. They are amazing with a cup of coffee. ❤️

Sorry to hear you were sick. This flu going around is nasty. Hit our family hard. Even our 10 month old
