I like to take the dogs for their little bush walk on Saturdays and today was no difference. We lost all our wonderful snow from last week. Ground is frozen, but the snow is gone. Apparently it will be 7oC tomorrow and rain coming on Monday. I'm gunning for the snow to come back.
The nice thing about the forest this time of year is that it is much easier to bushwack off the trails without all the greenery smacking you in the face. I kept running across a bunch of forts/shelters made by kids. I know they are forts because of the proximity of this little patch of bush to the suburbs. I highly doubt anybody actually camps out around these parts.
The above one was designed by Jamie Taylor. How do I know????
Actually, I've come across Jamie's work a number of times. He has a fondness for leaving his signature in places. He is probably a cool little wilderness dude. Not so many kids like that these days, at least in this neighborhood. So it is good to see. My thoughts go out to - I wonder what he carved his name with????
Todays cutlery carry option was my JK Kephart and Breeden Peacemaker. Now, the JK still has that new knife smell so I don't dare leave it behind on a little trip quite yet. It was time for the peacemaker to come along for the ride.
Like the JK, the peacemaker was the recipient of a little stropping effort and convexing it. It cuts beautifully!
Now for the kit review. This is my all purpose bag. It comes to work with me as it serves as a laptop carry case. It has a compartment that holds my SLR (Nikon D50). I also have it carrying my PSK kits and a bunch of misc stuff. This bag generally goes where I go and things shuffle in or out of it depending on the activity I'm engaged in. The PSK materials pretty much always stay in there.

), but using them every day brings out their weakness.
