Had these with me when I felled a tulip poplar tree.

Looks like an axe was involved in felling the tree. If so, cudos on using one to do the work.

Thanks. Yeah I felled it with my estwing campers axe. I have a husqvarna 371xp but... I prefer to use an axe. I want to get a better axe but haven’t run into a good head during my yardsaling. I was actually trying to get it to go the other direction. But I could tell it might go the direction it did so I was prepared for that. I actually had it pretty close and stopped to rest and a breeze helped it start the direction away from where I was hoping. I’m working on a small log cabin. And I still need a gouge chisel. But I’m into collecting the logs atleast.

Come, come, Mr. Smith. Don't you recognize the distinctive marks of the mighty pocket cutter, the Case Peanut?

I’ve never batonned down a tree. I don’t have a suitable knife currently. There ain’t no bucks in my picture, all case that day. Save for my leatherman original of course.

Pfffft
Peanuts only baton little reeds

Definitely impressed with Estwing camp axe.
Nothing more than a hatchet with a long handle. Now I have to watch, "Alone in the Wilderness". The documentary about Dick Proenneke who lived in Alaska for several decades in a trapper cabin he built.
Looking forward to progression photos

I LOOOOVE this series. Highly recommend anyone who enjoys the outdoors and the wilderness watch it.

I’m at the beginning stages of collecting logs. I have a site picked out. And some photos so far. I’ll make a thread on it when I get a little farther.

I have the dvd and the first of Dick Proennekes books. That’s what sparked the fire in me, in 2014 when my wife got me the book for Christmas. Been pondering it ever since. My property has a lot of the Poplar trees that are bout the right size. So I figure, might as well make a cabin.

I have two of the videos but only one book. Looking forward to the thread

I posted this the other day in the “What traditional are you toting”, but thought I’d post it here also.

I did the same with my "this week" carry... just to let the Case fans know that there are still a bunch of us out there that still appreciate the brand....
These are still in my pocket.... the half whit and the 5347 stockman....

That’s a beautiful 47.

thanks.... it was made by Case for Bradford Cutlery... it's the three spring version, which allows the blades to be nestled together without "krinking"...
that has always been one of my "gripes" with stockman knives... This one has three thinner springs (and, I assume, slightly thinner blades?).... but it enables straight nesting. I like that.
