Highlights of the year!

[Gaurdian_A1]

The forum has seemed kindof stale lately, nothing to incredibly exciting happening..So i thought it would be a good time to reflect on some of the most awesome times we all has out in the bush with our ESEE's. Post some pics, old or not, already posted long ago or not. lets hear the stories and see some pictures?

I will start!

The days catch back in BC this last July. Blue sky day and the trout were hungry!

My ESEE 3 was perfect for cleaning the rainbows.

hiking at a local wilderness park ( if there is such a thing, I'm from the mountains dammit!) i was confronted by an angry coopers hawk and as it dove at me i got this pic.

one of my fav spots in the BC rockies..i would love to build a small log cabin in that area..

a little slice of heaven i found near the big city

a nice healthy blackbear

me getting ready to cook lunch on a spring day out hiking with my little sister.

more to come

A hot lunch after a day of fishing back home.

cooking buffalo steaks on an open fire

a hot fire indeed..burning fatwood evidently.

one of the first times i got to take my RC 5 out to play

i remember when my HEST looked this new..you should see it now!

One of my AH 1 rigs

I pulled my hest out of its sheath for the first time and cut myself on the wire breaker. lol

My RC 4 and some pristine fatwood i found

Columbine flower

My ESEE's i had with me on that hike

Me, in a douglas fir, junglas in hand. I will never forget climbing that tree because my little pelican LED fell off of my PSK and i neevr did find the damn thing.

Carving pumpkins with my boy and my RC 3

the pic says it all..oh boy..

This is one of the best shelters i have ever made. A fallen tree was the basis in which construction started, i added some framework, a layer of spruce boughs, leaves and then a thick layer of moss. It was warm! It had a nice little open area where you could sit and work on things or just hang out and then you could just crawl inside for a good nights sleep. I could stretch out in this shelter and have room to spare, it was perfect.

another

and last but not least, some bannock in tinfoil cooking away ( turned out perfect) and some pine needles and labrador tea steeping for a nice hot brew.
the end to a great day.

well thats all i got for now..any takers? Lets get this forum booming again..

The shelter doesnt look that big from the outside, but you even fitted a tiled kitchen in there!

Serioulsy though;
Dude, that are some awesome spots. Wish i had something like that in the area. Nice shelter you made.

This was a special time in the woods. Nothing that makes it all that memorable but just special time with the Beaver.

Hey guardian where do you live cause that wilderness park looks a lot like the one by my house

Its been a good year, next one will be better. I got my first ESEE this year, followed up with 3 more additions, damn addictive knives

My first and fourth ESEE products

My Third in the line up

The most memorable this year, my girls are learning firecraft. After Christmas, the big one earns a knife, a Pink Izula (Thanks again Mike and Jeff)

Not to forget my Survivalist Gathering, we are already working on the Spring Gathering, it should be intertesting. Knif Pron

May the best of your past, be the worst of your future.
