Man....... it's still cold and dank up here. Texas sounds/looks good right now. Great pics.

That gossman psk...... did you order it with the scales, or do it yourself? I have seen several members here that have them, but not with scales.

Texas is Great--until it gets HOT

As far as the Gossman--got it from the man that put them on himself

Makes it feel SO MUCH BETTER
 
Tactical lollipop.


Nice pictures.

Very similar terrain to what I'm out in a lot. And you are right about the "good until hot" part. :D A hike in the winter that might take 3 1/2 hours can take 5 hours easily in the middle of summer.

I see. I thought so as I have never seen one with scales. Looks great. Like the orange!

As tired as I do get of winter around here, I could never move. Just too nice during spring, summer, fall, and too many cool places. Pics like yours do help get us winter crazed PNW'ers through it. :thumbup:
 
Great day to be outside - I'm in Dallas and I'm wishing I could be outside right now as well! Great pics and great looking family! :)
 
Great pics as usual Doc! I am green with envy, 82 degrees!!! man oh man.
 
wow, 82 degrees...i've forgotten how that feels like. that bk-10 looks really nice!
 
William, I am originally from OK, so I have an idea just how hot it can get there. Nothing like a windy day where it feels like someone is taking a heat gun to ya.

Good looking area though, and some great companions! I especially like the Crewman you got there, really nice handles on that.

Thanks Derek---I feel the Crewman is a very underrated knife

I also have a Becker Campanion with Bill SIegle G-10 Grips

Sold off all the other Beckers

I coulds use some warm weather here as well!
Question; That Maratac water bottle bag, is it any wider inside (without the liner) than a Maxpedition 10 x 4?
 
Nice shots Bill, I always look forward to your pics for several reasons. Nice weather, beautiful area, wild plants, knives, a cool dog, and a pretty woman always make for an enjoyable read. The butterfly shots are really cool, looks like somebody made a friend. I'll have to remember that little trick. I see you found more of that cactus, no fruit on it now though eh. How do you like the scales on the Izula? I have mine wrapped with cord, I've thought about the scales but wonder about the comfort.

Never saw the Maxpedition water bottle in person-so I have no idea

Got the Maratac for $20 shipped on the forums--Carol loves it

Thanks for all the kind words Mist:thumbup:

I sold the Izula yesterday--wife liked the Gossman better

The handle is too short for me

Going to try a Izula II next
 
I looked at the Izula II recently, but didn't get one yet. May have to try one out sooner or later. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it. I like how the Izula is compact and tucks away in my camera kit. I think I am just going to leave it wrapped though.
