EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

Same carry as my last post for now, as I watch the sun come up over the mountain from my porch and the park across the street with the pup. I might switch it up later, once I decide if either shirt or shoes will be necessary today :cool:

We got back to the Cape from our week's sojourn in Vermont Thursday evening and got caught up on local banking, shopping, mail, and settling in yesterday. As usual, it's basically impossible to post from camp up north, but I did take some time for knife pics this trip. I took a few more and a slightly broader variety of blades with me this time for no particular reason and carried the AFCK-1101 on the way up and to start the following day as we got things in order for our stay...

I forgot my recent green handled EDC I made, at the in-laws last weekend.

So I dug out one of the earliest models I made.
I called this C4.
It still shows well, even though my skills were ugly at best, then.....haha.
It's a tough, little 3V beast. Carries well.







*Idk when we are going back to visit?
 
More catching up on a day-by-day basis after my week's-plus absence from these pages while up north had us scouting out downed trees not deep in the woods nor far from the cabin to augment our short supply in the woodshed for this Fall and next Spring. We've not been going up winters the last few years as keeping our serpentine drive cleared of snow for a handful of trips can be costly, but we need the heat on the colder edges of the shoulder seasons.

Sunday had us cutting up the still-solid sections of a couple nearby downed Paper Birches. The edge forest extending south to north is still in succession and the Birches, getting choked out by the emerging Beech and Maple overstory, are leaning toward the light and eventually falling over. Just a little further back, a good-sized, 16" DBH Sugar Maple that sat in the edge of a small, intermittent run-off creek had uprooted and fell suspended just above the forest floor yielded a good haul of solid bolts. Here's Sunday's carry on the stack of maple which we hauled out a couple days later.

While the maple bolts still lay on the ground, we decided to drive on Monday to a big-box store in NH and look at buying another hydraulic splitter to leave in Vermont, as hauling ours back-and-forth from the Cape is a PIA. We didn't much like what we saw there in either of those "home supply" outlets and headed home after a filling meal in a great old local diner out that way. Here's that Labor Day carry on the Birch side of that pile after returning home empty-handed but full-bellied...

...and a couple more shots taken relaxing (again) on the deck, digesting 🥱.
