it was about 30 and sunny at the start. tho it was supposed to warm up to near 40, but ended up a tad cloudy and windy later.
in the meadows the sun has eliminated most of the snow and ice.

lovely weather for a hike tho id rather hike in the snow than the mud...

as we got a bit deeper into the woods there was still plenty of snow
[/IMG]
some local flora

with the sun and the thawing the last few days there was plenty of dead wood from limb falls that was also dry. wanted to try out the gasification stove shared by another forum member earlier. it really works well tho i will trim the pot holder bits down one squareto bring pot a tad closer to heat before using again. boiled water in no time.(no i didnt time it-there was too many interesting things in the woods to check out between adding fuel)

particularly the tracks n scat around tho i never saw deer nor turkey.

did see sign of coyote and lots of rabbits and owl scat
the hest once again got fire duty. sure do dig this little blade and have no qualms treating it like the rugged mf it is. and yeah misch metal is the s#%t
