I'm right there with you, Arch....although my stash is meager in comparison.

I keep trying to figure out what a Basic 08 can do that my Basic 11 won't do...etc. Even for TEOTWAWKI, I find myself bailing with the Basic 11 and several 4" blades. I could also see choosing a Basic 08 or SYKCO 711 over the Basic 11...for weight savings. Might make the work harder...but probably not by much.

I think I'd be better off getting outside more often and practicing shelter building and similar bushcraft. Actually...I think that will be a great resolution!!

It's the madness...I'm sick with it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
