Tent + hammock trip with GF and three kids. This is a 125 l/7627 cubic inches Norrøna Recon Pack, filled with a 4 people Wigloo-tent, 2 sleeping bags, frying pan, spare clothes, etc. GF’s Bergans Trollhetta 75 l/4576 cubic inches was pretty stuffed too..
Got to the spot, set up camp..
A small snack:
..and then take a afternoon swim
Dinner time: flank steak, mashed potatoes, bernaise sauce and cola.
Dessert: lots of wild blueberries, really sweet this late in the summer
Brushing teeths in the sunset
Coffee time after the kids have gone to bed (stupid phone made the pic brighter than it was, ruining the red sun..)
The stuff I brought:
- Haakonsen knife, a8-mod. Didn’t use this much. It’s so thick that cutting small branches is easier done with the SAK or the:
- GEC gunstock. Haven’t used this outside the house before, but took it this time instead of my GEC calf roper. Found it to be to stiff to open, a real nailbreaker. It was too cumbersome, so I used the SAK instead..
- SAK Ranger. Usually I carry a Explorer, but the Ranger have a file, small saw and a small chisel, which I enjoy uing on small whittling projects when I’m out in the woods. No matter what other knives I bring, I always need a SAK!
- LM Charge TTi. Pliers are handy!
- Gransfors Wildlife hatchet and Fiskars saw. Honestly, I these two where the tools I used the most, except for eating, which was done with a spork and the SAK.
With the hatchet, saw and a SAK, it’s really not necessary for me to carry a fixed blade. Buuut since I like to use my knives (and frankly, feel like I have to use them, considering the price on some of them) , I end up bringing them too.. so today, I had a total of 7 plain edges of different length and thickness, 1 serrated edge and 3 saw blades. For one night. 1.5 km away from the car.
