looks like a fun time.

Do you mix the bannock on the spot of bring it in pre mixed? Seems like a tasty item to have.

How would you compare your Becker BK7 to the ESEE 6???

Thanks for the comments guys.. I;ve been so busy with school (almost done though) that Ihavenp;t had much of a chance to get out. so this was a nice break. Gregorio.. I always have some premixed bannock laying around in dry form at the house.. when it;s used up after X-number of trips I mix up more.
up north FW?
Dr. Bill I like the esee 6 a good deal.. I have a personal affection for the bk-7 though.. I much prefer the esee micarta. but the thick coating on the esee causes drag when carving imho.. so my overall leaning is toward the 7
Brian- thanks for the comments.

good stuff! where'd you guys get water from? i didn't notice any source when i was there a long time ago...also, they say a rattlesnake likes to stay in that shelter during the winter so keep an eye out - i think i read it here or over on bcusa.

there is a natural spring there. about 100 yards from the shelter which supposedly is palatable, However it looks lie stagnant toilet water, so be prepared to purify
