Welcome to the Jungle...

[riz_aaroni]

I went hiking with JV3 and GoNadz this weekend in the Jungle Habit in West Milford NJ. It is a very interesting place. I opened as a drive-through safari in the early 70's and closed a few years later. It seems huge just from the short we walked compared to a map of the place I've seen.

Here is sadly the only pic of me and the bk9 I was using that day. I love that knife btw.

Thanks again.....

You call that a jungle? You need an Man's knife, for the jungle.

Just kidding. I never saw bamboo in the snow before. Looks good to me!

Oh, wait! Here's another I found!

Sorry, most of the pics of you were you rockin' out with the Gransfors Bruks. Playing lumberjack looked like a lot of fun, and I'm definitely adding one of thoe Scandi axes to my To-Purchase list! Here's a pic from "base camp" that shows the trusty BK9 waiting patiently and hanging ready-for-action from the tree.

I was resting/waiting for the snow to explode! Ironically I had no rust on the blade after the trip, but I wind up getting some after a quick trip in my backyard.

Snow and bamboo is pretty weird, weireder yet that it was surprisingly green. It was definitely cold, though no frozen from what I could tell.

As for being sick of the snow, not yet. Ice is another story and I am definitely sick of it. The snow froze and formed a layer of ice I had to walk/skate/fall on. Just fluffy stuff would have been alright. Though honestly I can't wait for warmer weather and/or no snow.

Last bit, looks like I have a load in my pants in the third pic you posted GoNadz.

that scandinavian size really is the perfect size between packability and raw chopping ability.

by the way, i pulled the trigger and ordered the kifaru zxr with the optional xtl top lid i figured half of it's capacity will contain booze and the resulting amputation first aid kit for aaron alone when we mix-up booze and axe on the next trip
