Well I got up to the mountains this weekend for some play time. The only bummer was the weather, we got dumped on all day Saturday so I didn't get too much oportunity to really play with the blades like I wanted. Anyway I did do some
here is the creek we camped on

we rigged up my tarp on the trees so we could have a place to shoot from/drink under

that tree that we used came down extremely easy with the Mistress, all of maybe 6 strkes it went thru like butter but my camera was not out yet
another shot of the creek, pretty cool

some of the toys I brought

what was the skeleton knife? a fehrman?

yeah it is the Thru Hiker, nice little blade, pretty reasonably priced for being 3V, razor sharp as well <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. I was hoping for a little better weather, there were a ton of trees out there just begging to be chopped down but it satisfied my camping itch, at least for another month <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Great to be outdoors, though. Nice gear and pics. Thanks.

Wow!
Beautiful country you have there.
I hope you country dwellers dont take that for granted,
us City Slickers would kill to for a view like that!
Thanks for the pics.

Nice pics. I long for the days when I used to do that.
The afghan looks sweet. It's the new Ontario/Ranger version, right?

Dang SB! Looks like alot of fun there ,What was the temp?It looks like you brought along enough hardware to take over the entire forest! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />I could spend a lifetime in woods like that,I'd never want to come back.Oh well gotta return to reality sometime.Great pics SB!

I will never take this for the countryside for granted, I wish I could live up there, or at least own some land.

Yeah that is the new Ontario version, as for the temp outside for the most part hovered between 29-mid to upper 30's

Is your AR-type in 5.56?
looks like everything was great save the weather, nice tools there.

Nice Bullets............Very nice- doesn't look like you forgot anything. The Afghan looks sweet- you going to leave it that way or "Vic" it ? Thanks for remembering us <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Looks like you had a blast! Lots of knives and coors...
