New Bernie Garland knives

[woof]

So, took a walk down to the woods to give the new knife a bit of a work out. It was a damp miserable day.

The mildness of the weather seemed to have fooled the plants into flowering again

The sun tried to break through, but it remained misty.

having reached my spot in the woods, i thought i'd do a few photo's of the 3 Bernie knives i now own.

first off i tried the nessie out on this bit of pine, by chopping off all the small branches

Then i cut it into logs, 7 used the nessie to chop them up. Hope you can see how knotty the pine was, the knife performed realy well despite this, 7 remained more than sharpe enough to shave kindling.

After all that hard work, it was time for tea & something to eat, & what better than bacon ?. The lovely little frying pan, was a gift along with some other pots from Oregon Dave(thanks Dave)

I had a good day out(always do). I enjoyed using the knife, i don't know if Bernie came up with the spec for this, or the original buyer did, but its a pocket battleship, the sort of thing the Tom Brown tracker would like to be when it grows up.
Nice one Bernie

Had a bonus on the way home found these deer tracks, where i had walked on the way in.

Cheers for sharing! Always nice to see BG knives in action in a woodland environment.

Nice pics.
I can only guess at one which is the mayweed.
Anyone any idea on the others? I see a lot of the white and yellow flowers you have there on my local dog walk and have no idea what they are.

Looks like a really nice trip, lovely blades as well. If I may ask is that a Duluth pack you are carrying??

Thanks folks. Steeltoe, no, its a canvas & leather pack, one of 2 packs i have made by Rugged river, they were a Lincolnshire based buisness, that has now sadly ceased trading. That pack, is about 30/35 ltrs, the other is a huge 65ltrs + 2 cavenous side pockets, which if i put them on makes the pack to wide to get through a doorway !.

Check out my back posts as its in a few pictures.
