Sounds like so much fun. 🤠:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Great choice matching your slip to your fixed blade. 🤠:thumbsup:

You can coo breakfast for me any time. Looks amazing! 🤠 :thumbsup:
Thanks John. I’m not a morning person and don’t eat breakfast, but I’m trying to use the griddle to its potential. Bringing it back to knives that want is what led to my fixed blade purchases. It’s been a lot of fun.
 
Some would argue (some of those possibly vehemently) that one never "needs" more than a peanut (I ain't one a them) no matter what the task at hand is.
"It don't have to be big, just sharp" has practical limitations. (golly ... I'm going to be loathed by a few for saying that ... ☹️)
For example:
I don't hunt anymore, but personally, I would want something other than a peanut to field dress, peel, and get any big game critter to fit in the skillet/on the grill/in the smoker or smoke house, and into the freezer. No doubt a peanut could  do it, but there are better tools for those tasks. I think a peanut would be my  second to last choice for those tasks ... a Wharncliffe or other blade with zero belly and a pointy tip would be my last choice.
From what I've seen on You Tube, I doubt these folks that process Giant Bluefin Tuna will be trading in their knives for a peanut (or any knife I would use to process a deer or elk) any time soon. 😊

WHOA !!! ... Didn't say a Peanut was good for every task or that I'd be using it to dress deer or filet a whale on Sunday
Said it was Sunday and if I needed more than a Peanut, I might be doing too much work
Some believe Sunday is a day of rest and work shouldn't be done ... or in moderation ... or something

EDIT: Thing about the Peanut is that while I don't usually find it inadequate at all in my retired endeavors,
it's that the Peanut is annoyingly small for my normal carry !!! ... so now I have a full size Sod Buster in my pocket
... I tried

SUNDAY
Figure if I need anything more than a Peanut, maybe I'm doin' too much work

Where were these taken?
Yosemite National Park
Your pictures are fantastic Bart, and I bet that cake was delicious after a day of hiking
Thanks, Todd. It was delicious. Although I was wondering if it would be as good at home or if it’s just because we are camping 😁

Wow, fantastic pics :cool: :thumbsup:
Thanks, Jack. Lots to photograph around here!
Love those Yosemite pics! Only been there once, and that was a long time ago. Like 50 years ago!:oops:
Thanks, Jeff. It’s our first time bringing our kids here. It’s just as amazing as I remembered.
Those are the best camping knives. 🤠:thumbsup:
Yes they are. Just the right selection of blades and tools. Of course I have a bunch of other knives with me too 😁
Yummy. 🤠:thumbsup:
I need to do more Dutch Oven cooking, I haven't done it in a while.
I’m relatively new to it, but I’m surprised how easy it is and how well it turns out.
