this trip was in early december of 2019 and never got around to posting it until now...just some random photos. the water was ice cold so the emberlit fireant took a very long time to boil the water...i should've brought the normal-sized one. i've been using these quail-sized oven-safe bags for awhile now for cooking rice and i like it a lot...less cleanup. kept my water near the fire to prevent it from freezing. h&b forge shawnee tomahawk - another one of my favorite cutting tools...i don't remember the last time i took a trip and left it at home. the best part - just sitting back doing nothing but watching the fire and water boil. i slept in a hammock winter setup but this was my camp area. i usually don't build a fire reflector but this trip i did and glad i did...it worked well that i will try to utilize it more often. anyway, that's it...happy new year everyone! late for the normal one but a little early for the lunar one
thanks! i wish i can take credit for carving it but i bought that kuksa...12 oz - biggest i could find! thanks, dan! we got about a foot of snow from that storm...but by the the time i overnighted a few days later it melted down to about 4" or so.
i felt bad being one of the few who actually took a busse out of the safe and put it to actual use and put wear marks on it, haha. i prefer an axe/tomahawk over a big knife any day but with my new heated shelter i think the busse will come out to play again soon for splitting duty inside the shelter...the shelter is big enough to swing an axe but i don't want to risk an errand flying splinter puncturing it.
you're welcome, hawk. i'm always surfing here but rarely post...i did another overnighter this past weekend and going through the pics and videos now for a trip report soon
