Wow,you sure go prepared for a soccer game,I take it you don't like losing much-LOL! Seriously,those are some cool pics.Looks like a nice little getaway.Last but not least,those are some great looking knives you have!
 
Thanks...
I like to win but to me it is more about time with my son...(he plays & I help coach U14)

I really enjoy the using the Junglas and coupled with my ESEE3MIL they'll get alot of trail & camping time.

Sorry I like that quote and try to fit it in where I can....:D

Is that from that one movie with the cube thing and the guy with needles in him?
 
Thanks for the great pictures, Tony. I had the pleasure of driving through East Texas last month when the Spring flowers were in bloom. It's pretty country out there. As for machetes, I think they are as useful in North America as they are anywhere else where lots of vegetation can be found. It's just that most North Americans are not as familiar with them as South Americans are.
 
That snake sign sure was the first one I ever seen. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes; I probably would not have believed it even with someone telling me about it!
We have copperheads & rattlesnakes but no signs here yet!
:confused:

With all the fufu smelling crap my wife insists on dumping in the washing machine and dryer, the lint that comes out of ours feels like it’s made of plastic and doesn’t burn all that well.

My dryer lint is approximately 90% dog hair - not exactly an ideal tinder, and REALLY stinks if you can get it to burn.

I tend to carry cotton balls half soaked in candle wax. They burn forever and are less messy than PJ. I'd rather use natural tinder, but frankly I'm lazy :D

When I was younger, I toted a Machete & a Uncle henry stockman and a 2quart canteen & be gone all day in the Texas woods playing.

I've seen signs around here for mountain lions, coyotes, and bears, but those are threats that "seem" more dangerous to hikers. Snakes seem to be taking the idea to a silly extreme. I wouldn't mind being warned about gators when I'm thinking about skinny dipping, though :eek:

I just wish the people making the signs knew the difference between poisonous and venomous :D

And now that you're all grown up, you do the same thing. When I was a yoot in Beaufort, SC, I'd get out of school on Friday, grab my .22, USMC Bolo machete, boy scout knife, and other surplus gear and paddle a small boat out to an island in Battery Creek. Just me and a friend. We would have to catch the tide right to do it. We would shoot squirrels, catch blue crabs and stone crabs to eat. We would also gather oysters. Basically, we lived off the land and river. When the tide was right, we would ride it back to the mainland on Sunday. We were only 13 or so. My dad knew how treacherous the river was, so he got me a CB walkie talkie so I could radio home and tell him we made it. My parents worried about me, but they knew back then that some kids are just natural outdoors types. I went to few school functions and spent all my free time out in the woods. Can you even imagine parents allowing that today?

that's awesome! growing up in the philippines we often played with balisong even in school. if any teacher caught you with one they'll just confiscate it but return it at the end of the school year :D kids these days are missing out on a lot.

I think it goes two fold.... The Society we are in today and your location has alot to do with children and outdoors playing vs. Parents Fears/Phobias these days... but I agree Kids of this day & age are missing out big time....
