One of the first things I learned when I started reading the forum was that I wanted to some day acquire one of Stuart Mitchell's knives. And after 17 years of rollercoaster life.... recessions, a divorce, a broken leg, a career change, the madness of the last 4 years, 9 years as a single dad...

We have very few actual relics here in the hills like you guys have over there in Europe, but there is a little history here as the structure here beside the bridge covers the head of an iron water spring, for which a trail came hence from the Signal Mountain Inn back in 1913. They kept a...

Ok, so obviously it's been a while since I posted. But can someone tell me what the new limit for hosted images per post is now. It was 10 images at one point but even that seems to be too many now. Thanks, Brian

Well...I've been pretty busy with work lately so not around as much as I'd like... I just thought I'd share some of the pics I've shot while I've been out working. Our deer population seems to still be pretty healthy. The young buck just stared at me between bites and seemed not too concerned...

About four months ago I got another knife from Andy Roy of Fiddleback forge, it’s a hunter model. These are some early shots of the knife. The specs are: Over-all length..............9-1/2" Blade length.................4-3/4" Blade Thickness............5/32"...

Thought I’d share a few more random pics of autumn from the river gorge and a pretty chilled out hawk. The first pics are from a short hike up to a shelter rock that I like to sit under and meditate. It’s one that has a little water fall beside it and little stream running beside...

Took the little one for a picnic and a hike the other day, thought I’d share some pics. She is never still, so she ran circles around the picnic area while I got out the food and drink…then we had some fried chicken, some rolls, a little cheese and some juice. Then...

I've been really busy trying to make ends meet lately and haven't been posting as much, but a couple of days ago I got a Royal Mail package that contained a knife I bought from a friend in the UK. It is a knife that he has had for a while, it’s patterned after the Woodlore, and made by Mick...

Thought I’d share a few photos taken from a recent vacation in The Great Smokey Mountains National Forest. It’s a very large National Forest with a LOT of trails. It was mainly a series of day hikes in different locations so I was mostly...

The little Fiddleback that I picked up at Blade is called a “Hiking Buddy”. So yesterday, when I took a break from work to walk around the general area and check on the progress of some of the wild edibles, I took it on its first hike. Lots of green Lots of Queen...

I thought I’d share some more of the random photos I’ve taken while out working the last few days, I hope you guys enjoy them. Two thirds of the way through spring and our rain forest is coming to life again. A Rattle Snake track the day before yesterday...

Well, having played with lusted over a number of John’s knives over the last year and a half or so, I finally fell in love with one that was available. This is one he put together with Bushcrafting and all around field use in mind. The specs are. Over-all length….9 inches...

It was really nice out today so I took Alayna for a picnic and a hike. Our load-out for the day. An eclectic assortment of gear. These were the knives on hand. The orange handled CRK&T stayed in the console where I keep it, I just had it out looking at it so included...

The D.A.R.T. is a TOPS knife that first caught my eye a few years ago. I liked the over-all design right off the bat. It combines elements of two of my favorite blade designs: the kukri, and the barong. At that time I didn't know all that much about S30V steel so I had to read up on it some and...

These are just some random shots I've taken while I have been out and about working, I love my job. There really weren't any physical skills being practiced in these shots, mostly just observations. So... I'll go ahead and get the shots of the usual gear I had with me out of the way. My fixed...

A few years ago, when I started lurking here, I unknowingly started down an interesting path. Though what I took in at first was not necessarily what was being shown and taught here...I saw a lot of wisdom in studying serious knife skills with smaller knives outside the kitchen. At that time it...

When I picked up the current (May 2011) issue of Tactical Knives a couple of weeks ago I read a piece Steve did called Iron Age Cutters. The subject matter is bushcraft and U.S. made bushcraft knives. Looking at the photos I realized I had somehow completely missed a TOPS knife that I really...

These are pics from a couple of recent outings in the same area last week. I took my youngest on a walk to get her out of the house for a day and let her run wild like the wild little creature she is. She discovered a squirrel's dining room. and...

I went out early the other morning to take some photos for a project and then some for a website. Then...later on I took some personal shots while testing out some new gear. You'll have to over-look the lighting in some of the photos, it was well past the "golden hour" of photography at this...
