yesterday i mentioned i was going to try & get out & use my urban mutt a bit.
well the wife is outta town & im bored. so i grabbed a few things & went to the backyard & surveyed the situation.



everything look good back there..


birdhouse hasnt moved..



the undergrowth i cleared out is still there...



WELL seasoned firewood....i think i should try & baton my urban mutt through some of it...



so i go back to all the limbs ive trimmed & find a baton.


i then returned to the clearing behind the firewood plie & set up.





the wood is extremely tough & my baton doesnt have enough weight behind it.




right here i hit a snag. i had tap the handle & blade back & forth to get the knife unstuck.



i had to "see-saw" it about 3 times until i discover the hold-up...
that knot was the culprit..



just a few more whacks w/ the baton & im done..




edge is still sharp...my laughable attempt at fuzz sticks



these guys made the trip..
