thanks for your kind comments.

It was my first time fishing in at least 10 years. I miss the feeling of the bite and ensuing struggle!!! I had actually caught 12, but tossed back a few because they were too wimpy. I was in such a rush to clean the trout and get them on ice, by the time I thought about pics it was too late.

I also hadn't camped in a good 15 years (not counting European "camping").
I forgot how peaceful it is to get out in nature. I don't think I've ever had so much fun processing wood

btw, here's a pic of the blade before camping (shot by previous owner)

The edge looked like a carnival fun-house mirror
