Decided to go gather some fatwood today, since we have burned up all of our reserve. It was a fairly pleasant day, compared to the below freezing temps we've had the last few weeks. Last time, I took the BK4. This time, the 21 rode along! We tapped back into a stump we harvested from about 5 years ago. This one particular stump yields the most sticky, flammable, and aromatic fatwood we have found!

Well lets see it burn!

So a reason to get a BK-21 there I see. Saws make woods waddleing...er wandering easier to do if your going to meander and make a meal and a fire.

I'm in a forested area so I guess I take fatwood as you call it for granted.

So have you two met before? ;)
 
Is that the same stump the piece you sent me came from? That stuff is awesome.

Great photos, as usual.

Looks like a well loved 21 you have there sir. Makes me want to get another. But, I would just sell it and keep using my niner, haha.

MTM, good to see you back.

BTW, next time, take more knives. ;)

Yes sir, that's the one! The 21 is here to stay. You know it's perfectly OK to have more than one Becker blade in your arsenal right? :D
