The online community of knife collectors, A Knife Family Forged in Steel
I have recently had an interest in learning about the equipment needed for surviving in a Bug Out situation. In learning the proper tools and equipment to have, I have also started backpacking and tent camping some. More recently, I started having an interest in bushcraft. What I have found is, there are a lot of similar tools required in each of these, especially having a decent knife. I would love to hear what any of you think about the mix of these different activities. I am still learning and having fun as I do so. I got several items for Christmas that will be used in a combination of these activities. Here are the items I got.

What is the advantage of the C shape?
It is very easy to hold and feels comfortable in the hand, when striking the flint/chert.
I know I just got my first flint and steel striker recently, but I have been wanting a kit that a friend sells, for a while now. This kit has one in it. The kit showed up yesterday and I am very happy with it. For starters, the kit comes with a nice canvas bag which is meant for gathering fire tinder. It came full of some awesome tinder that is not readily available in my area. It also came with a laser cut, dragon shaped, fire steel and large piece of chert for striking. As a surprise, a nice kuksa (wooden cup) and some chaga (fungus that grows on trees and is good for making an antioxidant tea). I am anxious to get out try all of the items out, in the woods.
Looks like a great area to go for a walk! I wonder what is in the rock hole and the icicles there are awesome! How far did you go?
We hiked about 3 miles. They call the area where the rocks are, the devil's refrigerator. It was like cold air coming from a freezer, when we stood in front of the opening. It would be a great place to keep your drinks cold, if you could camp there.
Hey Jeremy.. How's the scrambled eggs and rice and chicken?????

The bacon was delicious!
I am so glad you chose to spend time with the Battle Horse Knives folks, even in the rain. Glad you enjoyed it!!
I have a new toy........I mean stove to try out, when camping. This is a Trangia stove with a stand set up, I had made. It is light weight, easy to use and compact. I can't wait to get out and give it a try. this stove used denatured alcohol, for fuel. Once I get the chance to try it out, I will try to do a little review of how well it works, how quick it boils water.
