    GREETINGS FROM HEART OF EUROPE.

    Thank you for the compliment. The sheath knife is 6 years old, and the folder is 13. Seeing how I made them from raw materials in the first place, keeping them looking new and unused is the easy part. I do carry a axe and saw, so they only get used for knife work. Dave Possehl

    ​New tripping journal/field desk

    My wife informed me I got a letter today from a Mike McCrea. Not having read this thread yet I said to her "crap, you didn't open it did you". Turns out it was harmless. Thanks Mike for the return address, I've been kinda bored lately. Will see what happens. Dave

    Russell Green River Knives

    I carry a folding knife on me and a sheath knife on my pack away from my body. My knives are razor sharp, and I do not want to fall on my sheath knife even when it's sheathed.

    We suck

    Yes, when I paddle a canoe, I am responsible for the deaths of thousands of first nations people. It all makes sense to me. I do feel privileged to be able to enjoy nature. Other than that, in my case white privilege is bullpucky . I have busted my arse since age 13 and bought and payed for...

    Survival fishing gear for non-fisherman

    Fish by them self are pretty low calorie. I once read in a survival book that the average trout (stream size) has about 100 cal. You would need to catch and eat about 20 a day in the summer. On the other hand it would give you something to do while you wait after pushing the Spot button.

    Poll: How often do you switch sides?

    Same here. If I'm in a hurry, and the wind allows, I'll switch sides every time I sense that I may be slowing down.
