for winter, what Buck ya carrying and how cold is it...

After growing up in the South I like more winter. Which we had little. In both places I had to be out caring for live stock year round. It's more challenging and harder on animals on the continental divide but all things considered,, I wouldn't trade it. Here today 36* with rain and snow coming. In the South you don't want snow but In the West you pray for winter moisture. Funny. I have my 426 Buck lite. If I can worK It in I'll go find some quail ahead of this storm. DM

In total agreement with you! We managed to escape in 2013, unfortunately our son and his family are stuck until he can retire from teaching...Nice 110 BTW!

I came here for my girlfriend, who is now my soon to be ex wife, and now I'm stuck until the kids are 18...so only 11 more years to go!

It's a 110 from C&C...it had a black oxide blade, but I sanded the coating off and now it looks like a patina. Thanks..

30 degrees here in the WV mountains, with snow on the ground. Since I accepted a fellow BF members challenge of trying to carry a 110 for a month when I'm wearing a belt, it will be the bottom left one.

I'm glad you're giving it a try. You won't regret it. At least not until the sheath slips off your belt on to your foot. :p

I'm still usually carry around my 110, down here in sunny california it's 43 degrees with a high of 63. Personally I'd rather have an actually winter and an actual summer. It's pretty much the same temperature and weather here all year long.

Reading these posts reinforces my feeling—the idea of cold weather and discomfort depends a lot on what you are used to. Of course in addition to temperature you have to take into account the humidity, solar intensity, and wind.

Thanks for saying that JB. I appreciate the thought my friend. There are parts of South Jersey that aren't bad, but it's not my state. I still know way more hiking and fishing spots in Delaware. I'd like to go back to the Poconos as well.

JD, where are you in South Jersey? We moved there when I was in high school. When I graduated, I left and went "home".

I live in Magnolia and work in Cherry Hill. Spent some time in Stratford too. All my family and friends live in Delaware, which isn't too far but it's a crappy drive....
 
Here in central Florida near Ocala when it gets anywhere near freezing TV news puts out warnings..Cover the plants! Be careful of your pets! But my favorite is lizards drop out of trees because the cold really stuns them. They look dead but when it warms up a little they run off..It was 29 in the morning 2 days ago. I had a regular 112 Slim in 420 in my pocket the last few days.
 
Reading these post reminds me of a story my uncle told me, he said when him and my dad would go deer hunting my dad would roll his window down and tell my uncle to roll his down also, and after a few hunting trips my uncle ask why we roll the windows down,
my dad said so you can get used to being cold, my uncle said you never get used to being cold.
 
Here in SW Oklahoma, its seems the weather is warm one day and bitter cold the next. That's okay, keeps life interesting.

I work indoors, so I've been carrying a '70s era 303. It was sitting in the original box on my shelf, mint, until a couple months ago. It's a work of art and great to use.

If I'm working outdoors on the weekend or going for a hike, I'll switch between a '91 desert camo 422 and my hefty 307.
 
Liberando , both of those models you mention are getting hard to find, a 70's 303 & 307. I have some rancher friends that live in SW Oklahoma and they told me they didn't make a hay crop this past summer. It was that dry.
Raining here at 38* and may drop on down and turn to snow. Either way this is badly needed. We are grateful.. DM

Very true, it's been dry. Our main water source is 26 feet below normal. Lakes and streams dry or nearly so. Everything is parched. But as you know, our ranchers and farmers are resilient, they'll keep at it.

Our "heat wave" ended abruptly and left behind freezing rain/fog, followed by 4 inches of snow. We're back in the single digits for a daytime high and looking colder every new day ahead.

I was inspired by jbmonkey jbmonkey and his recent selection so I dug out the little Cabela's Vantage.
