Took a few hours this morning and headed out into the woods yet again. Took along my JK Walnut Kephart, Glock 22, smaller thermos of black coffee, & some bannock.

Something decided to have lunch before I did.

Wonder if it was this guy. Ton of these tracks all over.

Out in the middle of nowhere I find this carved in a tree. This was probably about 4 miles in. "M" loved "R" at some point. Wonder if they're still around and together?

Decided to stop for a break and warm up a bit, cook some lunch.

Woodpeckers were out and about today. Scared one away from this area.

I`m going to play moderator here, and say this is way too "woodsey" to be here, it should be in W&SS! Just kidding, I enjoy seeing my knives in use. (but really, this would be good in W&SS, I don`t think I`ve ever seen anyone cooking bannock there)
 
I thought about it but I wanted to get a shot of one of your babies in use.
I like pics of your knives ;)

Bannock is great. I made up some hardtack to take last week. Had to soak it in some coffee out there though. Teeth aren't what they use to be :)
 
Great pics. I wish I could get out for a snow hike now and then. I'm usually baking in the sun, and I burn easily!
 
It is the good review, good photos.
The trace is not so fresh.
As though itself has visited there
 
For Bannock that I take with me I usually use this.
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
Dash of salt
3 tbl butter (melted)
splash of milk

mix it up in a bowl until it comes out not tacky. I usually add a little more wheat flour until it doesn't stick to my hands.
Then I toss it into a ziplock bag and set in the fridge over night or until I head out.
One word of caution. One cup makes more than you would think. Actually enough for two people.
:)
 
I wish we could get out in the woods. The snow is at least 24 inches deep on the level and five feet or so any where that it can drift.:mad:
 
Hi mrbear -

Cool - thanks for the pics!

The bannock might be good with some other flavor thrown in - spice or whatever, raisins?

Is that a coyote track, or something larger? I see similar tracks around my house when the neighbors dog runs loose lol ...

Thanks for the pictures - the Kephart looks great -

I'll post pics of the Kephart over in w&ss - but I am not much of a woodsman - perhaps it is time I did a little more since I live in the sticks anyway!

thanks again for the cool post - it's nice to take an occasional break from my work and check in to Stomper's forum here.

best regards -

Thanks bud, Im gonna try this out on my next trip.
 
Great pics buddy !

I'll have to give that Bannock a try, I've been meaning to try some ever since watching Ray Mears make some years ago on TV.

Ps. That Kephart looks great and very at home out there !

This is Ray making some again in one of his newer episodes......

I am going to try that recipe as well.

Thanks for posting the pictures! I was going to try to get some woodstime in this week, but we are having a stupid blizzard.
Stupid weather.
