Off-topic (imagine that!), I can't resist a bit of showing-off, under the pretense of a public service announcement.

Don't trust these non-contact voltage testers, too much. They're pretty good for verifying that the power is off, but they can be fooled by induction. My workplace has an entire building where you'll see 30 volts, on any connections, because we have cables for 100 HP motors running in the same raceway as the signal cable for our bin radars. It's spooked more than one contractor, and you can waste a lot of time chasing "ghost voltage" because your "sniffer" gave you a false alarm.

It's even better when the government inspector waves his sniffer at a cable, and I have to spend half an hour up a ladder opening connection boxes to show him the wires are disconnected and capped. 😞

Definitely want to brush up on your mushroom identification before putting that knife to good use. Some curve back (hawkbill) knives that have caught my eye and sometimes my wallet have been the Cold Steel Tiger Claw, Spyderco Tasman, Honey Badger Claw, and the Opinel Traditional #10 Billhook.

When I was younger my primary bushcraft fire starting technique was a can of gas, but things have changed a lot. Mostly the price of gas.

Finally I know it's called "hawkbill"🤣, tried to find how to describe it for weeks since English is not my primary language.
Definitely, will brush up mushroom identification.
THANK YOU!!
