Don’t get all hyper just because the mod let you redeem yourself. You and shiny edges said multiple times you were done with this thread and leaving.. why aren’t you a man of your word? I thought you were so angry and upset that I’m here you were going to storm off with your panties in a wad?

You were running the thread into the ground, sinking the ship so to speak. Boru13 saved it from becoming a coral reef, temporarily, so I stayed awhile longer. Unfortunetly you are a master of arguing and losing and you are successfully sinking it again lol

Great job 👍continue on 🤡

This has to be the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever read. He “threatened” to leave you as bear bait in a make believe scenario that has zero chance of ever happening. That’s not remotely threatening, nor was it meant to intimidate. Why the hell would he think that “threatening” to leave you for the bears in a nearly impossible scenario would ever be intimidating? You see phantom crap everywhere, huh?

You sure like to run your mouth a lot for a guy that has threatened to leave 3 times now.
 
So I'm no expert in the woods but have taken my cues from folks that gravitate towards larger blades. Mostly SAR types up here in the NW conifer woods with lots of rain and wet. I saw a lot of 5"+, with 8" used for ease of chopping.

A larger blade will seemingly outpace a small one when it comes to all the little repetitive camp chores. 2lbs of steel is ok to carry if you find a decent spot on your belt. A little higher and close to the core minimizes the weight. That or a thigh rig if it's getting used a lot.

Did we cover what other resources we had on our "scenario"? Bushpot, sleepingbag and a tarp would be aces.

Added: A big blade does inspire a certain feeling of confidence personally, whether it's warranted IDK.

I mean, how many times you going to whine about this thread and stomp your feet about leaving before you follow through?

I like the backpedaling. It’s a good move.

Not beating the dead horse any longer. I’m done with this thread. You all have already skewed the poll with the influx of 8+ votes. Maybe one day you all will get tired of trying to screw with threads I create… but I won’t hold my breath.

I asked this MANY times in this thread. He avoided it every time and derailed his own thread. Every time. Absolutely refused to answer a question on topic, directly related to his OP.

Not much we can do, appealing to logic does not work. Reasoning is out the window. It is why every thread he is in spirals out of control. He makes stuff up, deflects, derails, ignores on topic questions, spouts crazy conspiracy nonsense.

All over the forum. Honestly it is sad.
