Took my now only dog for a walk today. Beta and max have been having lots of troubles as of late. Beta is getting to be a bit of a wicked bitch and the territoriality between her and him and their daily bickering and nipping was getting on the wife's nerves. So we found max a home with a nice family and yet another bitch (young female dog) to contend with. Didn't really want to move max out, but he is the friendlier one and the new family really seem attracted to his 'poor doggy' situation. The female pub that he is now living with is very friendly and the two of them got off to a great start even though max was still pretty nervous on introducing them.

Today Beta seems a bit down on the whole thing, although she is a million miles calmer being the only dog in the house again. I think the middle ground of trying to maintain her dominance on max while being second to the humans was a confusing stress on her too. She seems to understand her place in the home better.

So we had our first solo walk today in a long a while. Walk was good albeit uneventful. Beta doesn't stray nearly as much when she is just with me and that makes the walking a bit easier.

I went back to that old downed cotton tree and harvested another limb. I had my Breeden cub knife out with me today. This was the model that Bearthedog designed. This particular knife has seen a few hands, first in Brian Andrew's inventory, then purchased by JeffH and underwent a review by him, followed by being touched all over by Spooky, next Mntfolk Mike and then too me. Despite, being a dirty little whore of a knife (sloppy 5ths anyone?) it is a great blade. Thick, micarta handle and a blade profile, enhanced by JeffH, that is just killer sharp.

Also had a little snack, Liptons cup o soup, yum! The snow peak camp soloist is a great little cook set. I think I'm going to buy another set to go in my second water bottle holder.

Also had the Rucksack SAK along for the ride. Its almost always along for the ride as I just love the large saw on this model. A special thanks to Fonly who gifted this one to me a while back. Its a constant companion even if it doesn't get a whole lot of photo play.

Parting glam shot of that Breeden CUB. For anybody looking for a custom, compact, hard duty little blade at a great price this is a really worthwhile model to consider!

good setup.........
 
Very nice fall pics. What stove is that? Does it nest in the bottle holder with the cookset and nalgene?



I know how you feel with the two dogs in the house. When we first got our current dog, she didn't get along with the dog we had at the time, and she would often go after her for no apparent reason, and it became a problem having to keep the dogs separate in the house, though they were usually fine out walking together. When we had to put our last dog down(she was 15), as hard as it is to put a dog down, it was something of a relief to not have to worry about dog fights all the time.
 
Thanks 6shooter...

The stove is a crappy one of those canned heat varieties. It takes a long time to get a cup to boil, but its not so bad if you are willing to just heat your potable water enough for your soup or coffee. I'll get the snow peek giga one of these days. As to the question, yes it all nests together and fits in the 10 x 4" in the following sequence: lid, cup, pot, stove, waterbottle. Another note, the nalgene polyethylene wide-mouths are a bit shorter then the hard plastic ones so you can get a bit more things stuffed into the 10 x 4".
 
KGD,

Great pics... Looks like a beautiful day. We have a decent covering of snow here today and it suddenly looks much different outside.
 
Nothing boring about that this thread buddy !!!

Sorry to hear about Max, do the family live close by, will you still be able to see him ?

That Breeden Cub looks great !
 
In that picture, your dog looks just like mine... Practically identical even with the same red collar!
 
i always love your threads kdg

btw you wouldnt happen to have a picture of your little maxpedition kit altogether would you?
 
Still looks like fall there.

We've had snow for a couple weeks here and single digit temps (F) for lows.

Bryan's knives are just great. I've got two! I've had my eye on that CUB for awhile now. Thanks for the pics.

Yeah - it all nests together, cup, pot, fuel cannister, little stove piece and water bottle. Also lots of room in the front pocket for fire kit, coffee packets, etc.

Hi all,

Ken, great pics as always:D. Sorry to hear about the dogs not getting along and you having to get rid of one.
Like you I use the Mini Solo cooking kit. I used mine today for coco though
instead of soup lol.
We have been getting snow pretty much all day long. I slipped out to the timber for a little down time.

I started a fire

Sat by my fire

cooked some summer sausage and heated some snow up for my coco using my Mini Solo too lol.

I left a little after 4 PM and then got back a little after 6 PM.

I guess your day was about as boring as mine lol, Naw just kidding.

I tell ya Ken, if you get out in the woods and it gets boring just think about that pic you posted with the heavy lady in the pool and I bet that will make the woods not feel so boring now lol

Glad to hear you are still liking that CUB knife.


Take care and chat with you later,

Bryan
