Went for a coastal hike with forum member Satsumatengu today. The weathermen were fortunately wrong about the rain they had predicted but there sure was some rough sea to look at !

I showed ST the Petroglyph on the rocks.

Lots of Bear berries lined the trail, not the tastiest berry in the world but still food if needed !

Adding Balsam resin to even the wettest tinder such as this soaked Old mans beard allows you to light it with a ferro-rod very easily !

There were also lots of Rose hips to be found, another great source of nutrition !

Now for a few pics of ST's new knife. It was made by Clint George of Iron Indian Steelworks, knives are just one of the items he crafts at his shop. This knife is more of a hunting type knife and is made from reclaimed saw steel and has antler handle slabs.

Even the sheath is crafted using steel !!!
