Good Morning,
Just found the site and thought I'd join.
Original Westerner and grew up in the Rockies above 6000 feet. Life long hunter and lived/hunted in Germany almost 23 years. Only got to England a couple of times (via parachute) while in the military.
Most of my outdoor time now is spent with my 10 year old son teaching him fieldcraft. A lot of my kit is old military gear I carried for years and am confortable with. Perhaps not the latest high tech but solid and reliable. Right at the moment I'm looking for a new axe with a polymer/synthetic handle that I can keep in my Jeep. I have a GB Hunters axe that I really like but the handle dries out in the heat here and then the head is loose. I don't remember to put the head in boiled linseed oil periodically so it will just be easier to find one with a synthetic handle.
Anyway, I'm here to pick-up some other ideas or techniques that I can pass to him enjoy the exchange of outdoor experiences.
