Hey folks. Got out for a quick trip in the woods the other day. Here's the dirt road that leads to the "wild" so to speak. LOL! This is fenced off so no one is able to drive down. Just makes a good walking path to get in there
Here's bel inspecting every rock and stick a long the way, haha
and here's the blade I was using for the first time, a Redneck Woodlore, it's a beaut if you can't tell
here's some thick woods, we ventured in a little ways
arrived at a suitable enough spot, here's the pack shot
okay okay mine's the left one
well I got the camp chores going. I downed a dead standing tree with the hatchet and got some small logs sawed up
I usually use my hatchet/axe and saw to do my wood processing but wanted to try out my new knife a little more so I used it to break down the wood for me
after that it was time to get the fire going. first attempt here failed as I only used grass and the wood I had was a bit too bit for it to catch quickly. Thought it was worth a try though
I got out some fatwood and of course that did the trick
now were getting somewhere
here's bel awaiting the results
coffee and hot chocolate, and a welcome toast for a new blade
quick view from our camp spot
well I did a little carving with the knife and it worked quite well. This knife has a very very sharp edge on it
Bel was exploring the area right around camp and seemed to hone in on the creek we were beside
here's a heavy deer crossing
well that was about it. We packed up and headed out as the sun was close to setting.
All in all it was a very enjoyable time out with my daughter and some much needed fresh air. The knife performed great for me. I am truly happy with it. If you want to read more on this knife and what my thoughts were you can go to this link here
