    Late winter on the East Coast and still cold, with a side of snow. An overnighter and some day trips while sick and weak, but the weather was calling. Got a new leather sheath for the Fiskars X7 I keep in the camp. New food combos to try also.

    Best to wet it and get the axe in, then it will form better.

    I have treated leather bags, sheaths, and axe handles with this stuff. They grease your pans and keep the rust off your axe!

    At my “Getaway Camp” I built a small stone fire wall. It has many advantages like being able to make a fire close to it and having some flat spots to put a coffee cup on. It can be made higher by places damp wood on for drying and retaining heat. I built up the back with rotten, damp scrap wood. Then, placed stones on top.

    I favor the Alpaca wool head wrap. One piece that is a hat, scarf, face wrap in one.
