Took a walk back to the fern swamp today. It's been raining for four days, so I took advantage of a break in the rain to get out and about. Good thing I did the yard last week, too wet now.


Today I used the Urban Mutt as my micro-machete. Keeping limbs off the trails reduces getting ticks and such when I walk them. The swamp is back. No wonder nobody ever built here. I like it just the way it is anyway.



The private drive, known as East-West Blvd. What a dumb name for it. Real estate developers just have a knack for giving roads dumb names. It should be Horn Dog Road.

Back at my own property, I checked the edge on my Mutt. Who says a thick knife won't cut?

The weather has been strange, 58 to 62 degrees, windy and rainy. Sounds more like pitman's weather than coastal Georgia's. Things have greened up. Checked the view out back.



Touched up the edge with my paddle strop. It isn't just for Bark River knives, you know. It works fine on Scrappers, too.

This is one Barkie that is almost as tough as a Scrap Yard knife, the Bravo-1 in CPM 154. Nice knife.

If you touch up your knives after each use, they never get dull.
