A few photos from this mornings hike.

Shattered showers made for a wet outing, but the overcast skies made the subtle shades of green come alive.



















All the dogs got wet…

…Including the Big Dog.

 






Thanks for coming along. :thumbup: :cool: :thumbup:

Great shots, Big Mike! Looks like the dogs had a great time.

It's nice to see so much green. I think it will look like that in my neck of the woods in about a week.

How do you like that (beautiful!) hollow-ground Bark River for bushcraft tasks? I have been using a hollow ground woods knife for a while now, but they don't seem to be the norm these days.

Thanks for sharing,

All the best,

- Mike
 
Mike,

Great pics! What is the rig you are carrying there, got any more pics of that?
 
Great pics! Love to see that kind of greenery. Only a little while before that overtakes everything here as well. Thanks for sharing.
 
i love the river picks mike looks like it was up a bit there like it is here.
 
Big Mike - I love those first two shots. The one of the ferns is super sharp. Looks like a great walk!
 
Great shots Mike!

This rainy day crap is killing me. It feels like we had 2 clear days in the last 2 weeks.

Let me guess.where you were.. Lake Lillinona!

Eastre 77- Most of the reseviors here are over 100% capacity. We have had a butt load of precip in the last 6 months!

I like that unusual Hollow Ground Barkie (Blackwater Boot Knife II), it does have a great Convex Edge.

While not my first choice as a bushcrafter, I do carry it a field quite a bit, and have been very impressed by its performance.

It’s got a thick Hollow Ground blade made from Bohler N685 making it a very tough for tool that holds an edge well.

While not a dedicated bushcrafter, it has proven to be a great all-a-rounder.

Yes it is a river (the Housatonic) as well as a Lake Lillinonah.

That is the Sharpshooter Sheath Systems Baldric Rig,

…Derrick’s got them at Knives Ship Free.


A carry mine, in one configuration or another, most everyday. :cool:
