Looks like a great time, but I would sure be careful reaching for the toilet paper! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> That's why there's that long unrolled piece.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Here the reprofiled tracker ( zero edge ) preparing bait to light the fire ( with firesteel ) ![[Linked Image from img254.imageshack.us]](http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/5547/dscn4443mk2.jpg) Purifying water with the Katadin microfilter. It's really fast in the slow mode ( longer life ) filters about 2 litres per minute. We were 4 people, and we used about 15 litres a day. ![[Linked Image from img168.imageshack.us]](http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/9117/dscn4462xz1.jpg) Another view of the camp.

I'd be interested in what the Extrema Ratio blades sell for there in Italy. It seems like I saw some that were for sale in Italy and they were a lot more than they cost here and that didn't make any sense to me. I have a Golem with the urban tiger pattern. It was given to me as a gift. I like it superficially but I haven't used it yet, and there doesn't seem to be much information out there on their actual performance.
Cool pup. Nothing better than a good dog. I have a friend in Lugano that I'd like to visit. When I finally make it over there we'll probably drop down over the border. I've never been to Italy. Looks great <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Extrema ratio are not so good knives....
Costs too much. The N690co isn't a good steel, is similar in performances to a 440 c. Extremely hard to resharpen, and with low toughness.
Here in Italy Extrema ratio imposes a price range to dealers. I don't know there in the US, maybe a lower taxation can help.
The only good blade is the small "schrapnel" because it does not need toughness, but only edge retention.
Kukris ( KS , KH , KL ) have great geometry, but I'm afraid they will fracture, if used seriously.

Looks like you young men had some fun. Are you going into the Italian Army? I have always admired their ability to always end up on the winning side. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.
