Hi all, hope you are going well.
This year we (me and my wife) spent our vacations in Croatia, a trip splitted in 3 differents spots (see map, numbers 1,2,3 in red). Well, all spots were awesome, Craotia is a beatiful country, with an amazing sea.

Some guys using the last sun of the day
![](http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/5145/img2378x.jpg)
No lights on the MTB, so my Fenix P30D for the last 2 hours of the travel, good job Fenix
![](http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/3860/img2439j.jpg)
Here we are at Molunat, the southest village of Croazia
![](http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/6278/img2726iq.jpg)
On the extreme southets point of Croatia, an Austian fortress looking at the Montenegro
![](http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/6813/img2681i.jpg)
![](http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/826/img2682cw.jpg)
Best live music here, really fine
![](http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/3808/img2741t.jpg)
Croatian ways are used by several bikers, I envy them
![](http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/8092/img2819j.jpg)
Some fruits and plants at Pag island
![](http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/7622/img2988e.jpg)
Wasp are here too, just 2 metres by the sea
![](http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/2497/img2952eh.jpg)
Last pics...

Last friends...

Coming back home, through the town of Pag
![](http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/423/img3015z.jpg)
I said the Fox Compso prototype was whit me, I want to try it before production
![](http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/7812/compso1.jpg)
![](http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/1476/compso2.jpg)
it was the only knife used for 3 weeks besides the Vic Ranger, of course the Compso worked many sandwiches, here with tuna fish and tomatoes
![](http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/8759/compso14.jpg)
it was with me always, both under the sea (some wear spots at the end, but is not a scuba knife) and kayaking
![](http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/8510/compso3.jpg)
Like a real "survival" knife
he helped me fishing
![](http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/5142/compso4.jpg)
Holothuria tubulosa, the internal part is a good meal for many fishes
![](http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/1882/compso5.jpg)
you need to cut the extremities, than cut the Holothuria in two sections (be careful, the external skin is hard like wood but really slippery)
![](http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/3374/compso6.jpg)
now, you need to scrap the internal part; the spear point of the Compso was really useful for it too
![](http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/896/compso7.jpg)
finally you will obtain this, has a good concistency and is easy to attach to the hook
![](http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/7330/compso8.jpg)
my fishing set, done with a wood that I found on the rocks, the fishing kit that I have on my survival kit and a piece of paracord
![](http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/4121/compso9.jpg)
I'm awful as a fisherman, anyway in 10 minutes I this is the results, it's not the best fish of the coast but it's edible
![](http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/5346/compso102.jpg)
![](http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/3011/compso11v.jpg)
few minutes later, I took this crab, than I eated it, awesome
![](http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/5790/compso10.jpg)
In summa the Compso was a good deal, is light but robust, the finger groove and the scallops were useful to handle it also if skeletonized, and hold and edge for long time. My congrats to Fox knives
![](http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/7097/compso13.jpg)
and goodbye Croatia, see you soon
