I made loafing with my knife for the first time!

[DocJD]

I have to admit, I'm not very knowledgeable about bushcraft terminology so I went straight to Google to figure out what "loafing" meant. Struck out and figured it was a new thing

Kinda what I thought too . "Loafing " Might be some new bushcrafty , made up term ...like "batoning " ! Not a real word !

"So there I was!--- loafing up a log of seasoned birch, when all of a sudden it started raining bread"

The curiosity got me. I clicked, and well, yep. #TheDropBearKnowsItY'All

Killed the cat , too !

Absolutely not ! Just an amusing case of "something lost in translation " .

Please forgive us for having fun with it !

Many here are stuck at a 3rd grade level of humor . Including me !

Haha you just nailed it doc, no one is trying to be mean here. This is our only outlet to let our inner 8 yr old out!

When a cat sits with its legs underneath its body, that is also called "loafing." Because they look like a loaf of bread...

"I made loafing with my knife..."​

What ?

Great looking knife ..., but ...what ?

I thought Loafing was when you play with your knife while pooping?

I’m very happy about this, I didn’t think it would work the first time, but my knife was sharp enough and managed to
do it.

Cool knife, Dasha. Who is the maker ? Thanks for posting !

I wonder what the opposite of 'loafing' is?

 

[Cementite]

Thank goodness, I thought this was a poop knife thread!

It's a jail thing. You wouldn't understand.

Finally, an interesting thread.

Searched "how to make loafing" and saw mentions of loafing sheds which to me remind me of open front wood sheds. So I figured it had to have something to do with using a knife to baton through wood.

My teenage girls taught me this term - must be an internet thing!
