The Shooting, Hunting, and Outdoor Trade Show

SHOT Show is the largest and most comprehensive trade show for all professionals involved with the shooting sports, hunting and law enforcement industries.





Absolute chaos



ESEE Booth and new products




Dave Canterbury



Mike Perrin and the Bear



Terrill Hoffman



Van (employee of the month)





Writer/Designer/Fellow Adventurer Joe Flowers and me




Ashley Emerson is about 8 feet tall, making Jeff Randall look like Hugh Coffee



Mike is usually meeting with the ladies







Dough Ritter with Mike Perrin




Shon and Becky Rowen-Thank you guys, it is an honor!

Becky is a hell of a knife and fire maker. She and her sister did a women’s survival class with us a few months ago.



Knifemaker Luke Swenson and Kimberly (I’m still sorry Kimberly!)




Survival Quarterly- Karen Hood and my editor Joshua Swanagon



Finally…a serious photo of the two 'Jefes'- Thank you guys for letting me do what I do, I owe it all to you guys!



















Camp-lore size comparison






 
SOG Knives Event

SOG had products out during a private event that we were allowed to use. Notice the pig in the background looking so neglected.




This gentleman was showing us how to fineness cut.




Unfortunately, I’m still operating on caveman software!







Tim Stetzer did right with some tomahawk action


Tactical Knives Editor/Writer Steven Dick and writer/editor Tim Stetzer

I hope we get asked back next year!



We had a good time there

Harris Publication Event

Ethan Becker and Terrill Hoffman



We were on our best behavior, but Tim Stetzer, Joe Flowers and I simply should not be at the same events!








Thank you Ethan for breaking my firesteel. Love the new bag design!



Claudia and Leticia



Then we left to meet Karen Hood. I will call this portion…our journey outside!






I think Eric is from Mora Knives



Joe doing…something





Tell the thousands of people who are killed a year by dragons, that dragons don’t exist!





Not sure what is going on, but at some point they acquired some flowers.








Luke Swenson Knives- Luke was in town for a knife show some of his work. Outstanding my friend!



As always, beautiful leather work










Survival Quarterly Editor/Friend Joshua Swanagon and I showing off our designs at TOPS Knives

 
ooh, a lefty sheath for the camp-lore! but the knife doesn't have a tanto tip, choil and bottle opener like you said it would. you lied to me! :p

the more i look at it i like version #1 of the logo more - the guy is hiking. version #2 is too tactical-looking pose...thanks for the pics!
 
I'm looking forward to seeing some of ESEE's new designs later this year. Bear, how will we know which are your personal designs? (Added. I see RB-3 which I assume corresponds to your name.) Teti is a bigger guy than I thought. I would probably overlook him especially with a beard.

That was a great time Reuben, thanks for posting the pics. Looking forward to seeing you again, we'll get something together soon.

I think it is hilarious that you would use the photo that Spen and I photobombed instead of the good ones you got, but it was funny.
