I’m curious for anyone that does bushcraft and camping with your CPK’s what’s your preferred model?

I have been thinking about using my BFK but kinda have the urge to get a SDFK as I feel it’ll be more appropriate. I can then keep the BFK as my bee keeping knife.

SDFK is my favorite knife, period. It's the perfect camping knife. There's not much it can't do.

I took my bfk and my sdfk on a camping trip, but I barely used the bfk; just didn't need to.

I brought the SDFK this weekend. And every camping trip. It’s about the best do all big knife. It can chop, baton, and everything in between.

100% agree.

donkeys are awesome for coyote repellent

Big cats, too.

The deer must know this too. They keep leaving their fawns along my donkey’s fence line for her to babysit.

I wonder if the HDFK is getting a complex now with all these superlatives for the SDFK being bandied about...

 

[ferider]

People don’t recommend getting an HDFK because it’s made of unobtainium. I know mine is a keeper ...

I like having both in case I have to take out two zombies simultaneously...though I think the light chopper would be jealous...

And then there's the Shiv...

In case of Emergency, grab the closest CPK...


I think that's safe to say.

Guess the house almost burned down last night sometime during the storm. Anyone ever had something like this happen?

Cox wireless router completely blew out the plug. Another plug on opposite wall blew the plug cover off.




Any of you with electrical knowledge know what else I need to check?

Both plugs still work.

I've had lightning strikes take out several electronic devices on one side of the house at one time, but not the outlets themselves.

I would check the wires coming into the affected outlets for tightness, and the other ends coming out of the breaker(s). That much energy could've loosened things up. Did the breaker(s) for those outlets trip?

On 2nd thought, I'd prolly just replace those outlets.

The fuses. Lower the Amps of the breakers, they should have tripped ....

I would have thought so.

All the plugs that blew, found 3 cameras outside that plug in under the eve and those all melted. Also a gfci plug outside blew apart.

These are all on 20 or 15 amp breakers

Yikes! Might wanna have an electrician come out and check the whole system.

 

[ferider]

What jlauffer said … I think you were very lucky!
