bring the outdoors to you. 
Pretty much all our camping trips (usually 3 or 4) have been canceled this summer for one reason or another. Those are the times I really get to put my knives through a workout and just plain have fun with them. So to try to bring a slice of that feeling I usually prepare a small campfire in my backyard. Sometimes cook. Tonight it was just to unwind and play with some INFI.
In this clip I am using MY "Holy Grail". (We all have one. Right?). My BATAC SE! A little batonning, a quick feather stick (shavings should be much longer but this wood is brittle. Even though the SE is really thick it did this very well), fire starting with some Swedish Steel and dryer lint, and that's about it. Sorry for the grainy clip but the lighting was poor. Now that I am more relaxed I am off to bed. Maybe.
