Jay and I took to the woods in New York for a cold (supposed to be rainy) night, with temperatures around mid-30s. Instead, it was sunny and cold, no rain in sight, but we had a blast and added two new items to our menu, replacing the regular Spam and rice or sausage kababs. Most of what we ate revolved around some seasoning from a friend in Alabama. Lately, Ive been using it on everything.
Red Eyed Hog is the name and we made Red Eyed Hog Stew, seasoned pineapple, burgers, and bacon with it.
It rained the night before we hit the woods, but it was dry when we got there. Only some remnants of rain still showed their presence.
Water was abundant, despite the dry seasons weve had.
I collected as much tinder as I could in my poncho pouch
Carrying that birch baby a little low
I changed all my guy lines to bank line, it took a while
From afar
I used the new SAK mod that Patrick did for me in Georgia on his belt sander it worked well!
Van De Camp Sausages coffee cup. Super light aluminum, with jute twine wrapping.
H&B Boys Hawk is small and light, but I think this will be the last trip until after winter.
Mexican Poncho- I have used this well over a year in all types of cold. It is 100% Acrylic and has a hood and kangaroo pouch pocket. I only wore this over my base layer and never was cold. The hood helps seal in heat but cant be adjusted, so I still wear a beanie under it at night or in really cold weather. It is a little bulky and heavy, but it never goes in my pack because I wear it in cold weather as my main layer over the base layer. If it really gets cold, I can put on my fleece under it. It takes a pretty good sprinkle and light snow well, but isnt a shell. I like it!
The awl on a SAK does a good job at splitting thin sticks in the center for making a forked stick.
