Today was a chance for me to try out a few other items of gear, too. I went to the local park as usual and headed out with my new Maxpedition Jumbo and my new Rajah II. It was warm at 77F, but a stiff breeze was coming in from the river.

When I got to the campground, where I usually take a break, I saw a SUV parked there! I met Lynnette, the girl scout leader, and she was in the advance party for thier leadership campout. They let her drive the gear there.

So I headed on down the trail to find another place to have my late lunch and show off the gear.

Then I came upon a treasure, a fat lighter stump. And me with no fixed blade! What to do? I wanted to gather some to give to the girl scouts on my way back.

With a snick, Rajah appeared! Not as good as the SOD, but easier for concealed pocket carry.


So I split some fat lighter out and stuffed it in my new bag.


On down the trail, I found another place to have my lunch.


Wow, check out these evil ants! I won't gather from this stump!

So on the way back, I gave Lynette the fatlighter, and she was grateful for it.
She had used the last of hers to start the fire she had going by then. I walked on and checked out a little hammock island.

The Maxpedition Jumbo Versi pack rides so well, I hardly noticed it.
