I’m going to have to figure out a way to harvest 10,000 of these heads. I’m thinking Old Hickory paring knives or Fiskars clippers.

 

[MolokaiRider]

Probably several of these. They work very well.

As much as I like the Benchmade Griptillian myself... I don't think she is going to digest it well. DO NOT FEED HER THE GRIPTILLIAN!

My wife and I rented a condo to enjoy Mother’s Day weekend.

Too all the Mothers out there...thanks for putting up with us.

Of course it’s important to have a Becker at all times.

These driftwood shade shelters are pretty neat.

Our family has been attempting to preserve Axis deer hides. It has been a learning process, but as with all things, practice makes perfect.





While sorta boring, this replacement blade folder makes pretty short work of the first stage of fleshing.

Looks like fun. Are y'all using the brain or some other substance to tan?

Right now we are using tanning solution, salt, and a courser.
