i haven't posted an update here since I purchased my "last knife" a few months back, so I figured this latest trip was as good of an excuse as any.
Two weekends ago I lost a ~20" brown trout on my homewaters(hooch), so I figured this past weekend I needed to head up north to try and forget about that fish of a lifetime by chasing some smaller purtier bows.
So a buddy and me headed towards the GA and SC border. We planned to backpack in and fish for the next day and a half. It was a blast. The fishing was a bit slow, but that's not what this thread is about.
Along with my pack and 2 fly rods I brought along a canal street pocket knife and my FF patch knife. The FF never left my hip the whole trip, even when I was submerged in chest deep river water.
It didn't do a whole lot. It did some very minor fire prep work, opened the random bag, cut a little line, but this was its first trip in the woods since I bought it. I couldn't have been happier, and not once did I feel under knifed.
I also got a chance to try out the sample fat rope that I got with my purchase from the fiddleback outpost. This stuff worked like a champ. I will probably be purchasing some more. It made fire starting a breeze.
Our camp
One of the few rainbows I fooled
And this is what it's all about.
Good company, good cutlery, and amazing views, I really couldn't ask for much more!
