Giant plank of pitchwood



The Jefferson River, near it's confluence with the Gallatin and Madison Rivers and the birth of the Missouri River

 

@Hurrul beautiful area. is that a monarch?

 

S

Hand drill spindles for days!

 

Yeah, it is a Monarch.

 

Truly.

I'm still trying to make a successful fire with my bow drill set up, but when ever see a Mullen, I marvel at how hard the stalks are and can see why they are suitable for hand drill spindles. I once managed to slightly dent the edge of a knife while striking the stock of one. It wasn't a Fiddle back.

 

Thanks for sharing the great pics.

 

That is a beautiful area. Where are you located?

 

On the northern edge of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, in Bozeman MT.

 

got a sheath for my Camp..well worth it

 

Two 98" monitors looking small. Watching some good WV kayaking for testing purposes...

 

Looks like some gnarly lower Meadow River water?

 

Good guess! Manns creek

 

Ugh! Energizer at 2ft+ is pretty gruesome. Never had the chops to run that stuff(did a couple of recoverys on the meadow back in the day unfortunately). Old oar boat guy..

 

Currently saving penny's at a time to get my oar rig set up. Need to get ready for family day on the river every Sat at least.. I love an oar rig! I rowed the Grand Canyon December of 2013. 14 footer loaded down as the gear boat for the rest of my group. Rowdy. Get your boat together and come hit the Gauley this fall!
