I’ve contemplating leaving CT for the South. I’ve got a great job here and I love the natural beauty of rural Litchfield county. The politics and taxes of CT as a whole definitely do not agree with me or my wife.

You may have to keep driving for a while...

...and even when you find a good spot...realize that it may simply be a pocket nestled within surrounding areas of "not a good spot".

It's largely a county by county thing in many states...with a creeping tide that creeps ever closer.

Still, I don't plan on evacuating. We have a good thing going in our county...for now.

I agree, my career is too good to just up and leave. And the company I work for treats me well. That’s the main reason I stay.

Any Spyderco fans here? What is a good first model? I am tossing about between native 5 lw, para 3 and endela

I am a Spyderco fanatic and have had multiples of all of the popular models. I really prefer the FRN Seki Japan produced knives these days. The Endela is my favorite model for sure. The Wharncliffe versions of the Endela and Delica are amazing and I carry those the most. The PM2 is ok if you like a comp lock, but I much prefer their backlocks and the Seki FRN. The Endela is basically a choil-less backlock FRN PM2 as benchrest said.

Here are my recommendations for your first (of many...the Spydiebug hits HARD!!)

K390 Endela Wharncliffe
K390 Endela
K390 Delica Wharncliffe
Cruwear Micarta PM2
the upcoming on 9/16 @ 10:00 AM MST Cutlery Shoppe Exclusive Wharncliffe PM2 in Orange G10 with DLC coated CTS-XHP blade

Then you will want to pick up a Pacific Salt (for the beach) and a few Wharncliff Manbugs for your keychains. Eventually add a Military for something larger to carry in the winter with gloves.

I don't really care for the Native or Para 3 and sold all of mine. Try to go to a local store that carries Spydercos and try them all out if possible.

Need some prayers guys, there’s a fire barreling right towards us. Got the trailer hooked up to the truck and loaded with valuables if we have to roll.

Sent. We had one roll right up to the edge of town here a couple days back and even though they got it under control we're choked out with smoke. Here's hoping it misses you and your community. Best.
 
We’re packed and ready to go. We’re under level 1 now. They tried to get the helicopters up to drop water but there’s to much wind. No containment. It’s coming down our side of the mountain, the absolute worst case scenario where you want a fire to go. 20 acres this morning it’s over 1000 now I’m under 4 hours. Wind is supposed to pick up to even more this evening afternoon, 30-40 mph. It’s not looking good. Thanks everyone.
