Very enjoyable report to read. Thank you for sharing the experience.

That sounds so odd to me. Such a basic tool that I use daily at home, work and play is an object of fear to some. That mindset seems to have spread to America too. I was amazed to learn that my niece's son was in Boy Scouts and didn't have a knife. I've carried a knife everyday since at...

Very cool. Looks like a fun and informative class.

Thanks for posting that. Very interesting.

Great pictures! We have two regulars that frequent our property. I've not managed to get any quality pictures except on my game camera. This is "Mr. Wooley" We think he's 4 or 5 years old. He's usually after grubs when he is on our property as evidenced by all the torn up stumps and logs...

fine looking blade, handle and sheath.

very nice!

The permit I applied and paid for allows for a structure that doesn't have any permanent heating source or plumbing. It also limits the amount of days I can stay there per year. To make it a residence there are a number of health, environmental, government access (fire protection...), size...

Thanks for the warm welcome y'all. There is a wealth of knowledge on this forum and I sure enjoy my visits here. The cabin is a great base camp for my Bushcraft activities. Days seem to fly by and I seem to discover something new each visit. We have LOTS of critters which makes it even...

Followed a friend over here from another Bushcraft forum and have enjoyed reading about your adventures, gear and techniques. Lots of good stuff and hope I can contribute to the discussions. I'm in the NW part of the continental United States, though it is a lot more crowded than it used to...

I meant to include another picture regarding the Old Hickory modded knives. The Mark 1 and 2 versions.

Here's an a few pages about knives from an old (1929) American Book that is packed full of good bushcraft lore, though it wasn't called that back then. Being a lifelong outdoor enthusiast, now in my fifth decade, I've always carried a knife - even in gradeschool, probably started...
