I've been crappin knives out my backside triple time lately and I take one little 5 min. break and look what happens......haha......oh well. Didn't sleep at all again last night. Gonna have to see the doctor about that. Was dead tired today and lacked motivation. However Murph came by and lent his helping hand and made today not a total lost. Got some leather work done and a couple of M-18 blanks cut out. (To Murphs protest cause I'm to cheap to change the bandsaw blade) but hell of a job considering I probably wouldn't of made it to the shop without Murph crackin the whip..........gonna hit the sack and hope some zzzzzzzzz's find me tonight!

I suddenly am not sure if I want those knives I ordered...

Try sleepin in a hammock for a couple nights. It is usually a good "reset" button for me.
 
day-um folks -- I go away for a couple of days and you post up 20 or so pages of snark!

ran into an interesting sign yesterday -- a cemetery with "no weapons" signs at all the entrances.
where's the fun in that?

Might accidentally hurt somebody......no...that wouldn't be it...
 
first attempt at making cordage today. Cut down a bunch of marsh grass and split it up into smaller strands.

Nice cordage work on your first go. its all practice and getting the right routine down to keep it tight but usable. I have made quite a bit of cordage over the years, and have taught some kids in a class how to do it. i really like using dogbane for cordage, makes some good strong stuff. i go the bark route over any root route but have done both.
 
Woody, you should make one of the gatherings and give us a little cordage class. Several people expressed interest in that and it's damn sure one of my weak areas.
 
Its a good skill to have when your paracord runs out! or if you forget it. i have made traps and snares all out of natural cordage. plus its easy and a good way to pass time sitting by the fire.

we got some dogbane from here in the past to supply a class for some kids, plus they have some good info, but theres lots of ways to do the twist but this one is prolly the easist

Speaking of sharp, if you ever run into one these old "Crystolon" sharpeners at a junk shop for a couple of bucks snag it! A couple of light passes puts a wicked, wicked toothy cutting edge on and they are light/small enough to fit in your kit.
