Fixed blades

Thanks! It's made locally to me, too, which is nice! I've been using it for a couple years now, less air bubbles than most other brands, too!
 
Had some tea with the Kelly Kettle today.
Brought my oldest fixed blade, bought with my dad when I was around the age of 10 iirc? A bolt knife, no brand or steel markings, it has shown tiny spots of rust in the past, so not a stainless. Stacked leather handle that fit good in the hand and looks and feels nice imho.


Found a nice spot, tied Grim to a rock because he was chasing rabbits every time I blinked my eyes

Used the bolt knife to split the sticks some more and make some nice thin curly feathersticks while enjoying the view in the sun

that should be enough to light the kettle

It amazes me every time how easily charcloth catches a spark

Out for afternoon tea with Grim today, nice and sunny over here.
Brought the Enzo Elver and the Firebox Nano in my pack.

Split some birch sticks to a decent size

Then carved some curls and feathersticks to get the fire going

Small wood chunks and pieces of birchbark in the stove should make a tiny inferno in no time :D

Used flint and steel on a piece of charcloth to blow my feathersticks into flames

Placed them on top of the stove and enjoy the flames
