Back from 10 days in Georgia for the Blade Show and some fun in the woods!
I usually try to stay in Georgia with Patrick Rollins before and after Blade show. You know when we get together, especially after Blade show; well have lots of new tools to play with and some interesting gadgets and kits as well. This year, I stayed a few days before and about a week after the show.
We tried out knives from PB&J, Smith & Sons, Dogwood, James Gibson, and MUD!!!!!!!!!!

Patrick wasted no time cooking it up out in his woods, where he has a very cool cooking range set up.


My desert!

Patrick entertained with a little snake wrangling!


We built a high table and a lower table that served as a work/tool bench.

Mudman Roach Belly Neck Knife

However, we wanted to pimp up the place and go full-on POW camp!
We built a chair using a tripod set-up, then added a swamp bed with the PB&J Parang.

One end of the ridge pole rested in a crotch

One side was lashed with natural vines

I trimmed some thin saplings for the mosquito net hanging system.

Completed chair and modified swamp bed!


Lots of woodcraft

Tools
H&B Forge Hawks, PB&J Parang

Tiki Torch 1

Cutting the notches with a saw and Smith & Sons OGRE!

This was a cool idea that burned about 5 min (failure)!



Pond behind Ps woods!



Tiki Torch 2


Then we built a stone oven for cooking inside and on top
