That'd be cool! Look forward to you rejoining in a week time.
Looks beautiful! Seems like prime area for venomous snakes too!
Day 28: Got out into the woods myself. Beautiful day for a hike up Mt. Nittany with my sons.
The resort staying at switch contracts to Pepsi ☹️ I would luv a MexiCoke, with real sugar!I will be going from Butterblade to spear point!Actual, truth be told I do wish I packed the SPIRIT in checked bag for this trip. Have had a need , more than once, and easily could have carried on.

Day 29I betrayed the Butterblade Brigade several times this morning. I submit for whatever penance my fellow knights deem appropriate.We're closing down the camper for the season, so I climbed up on top to clear the leaves and such off. I pulled on the pants I'd worn the day before instead of crudding up a clean pair and forgot I'd taken the Spirit on the table.Tossed a Gerber Gator up and took care of the branches I could safely reach (and waved it at everyone on their way in and out of camp. Perfect for the weekend before Halloween.) and went over to the TV antenna. We don't even have a TV in the camper, and it had caught a bunch of leaves. It was only held on by two bolts, so I yelled down to my wife to throw me one of the multi-pliers. She found the Dual Force first, so I cut the cable (don't love the "back" wirecutter, but it did alright), popped the washers, and yanked the bolts out. [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ] I finished clearing everything, and dropped the tools back down, when I remembered I forgot to clear the slideout. The awning over it had started to rip, and it was catching a lot of leaves. We don't actually move the camper, so it doesn't do much. We'd talked it over with a few of our more experienced friends, and they all agreed it could be easily and safely removed by simply cutting it. Easy enough if I'd had a knife.Fortunately, I've been carrying a basic trad folder most days to back up the Spirit, and I hadn't taken the Opinel 6 out last night. It looked like a pretty big job for the little knife, but I decided to give it a shot. Never should've doubted it. Two quick cuts, and I was done. [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ] Cleaned up and headed to a party, with the Spirit in tow. Opened a beer.

Somehow missed yesterdayDay 28Started winterizing the house. Used the blade and scissors to trim insulating foam. [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ] Day 29Used the file today for a rough detail on an old axe. I was curious how well it works after hearing the Alone season 3 winner used his quite a lot. Did a decent job forming an edge and I was able to chunk away at a tree. Also made for a decent splitting head.

I wish him a speedy recovery and you safeguarding from the flu. It's nasty this year. I thought I had Covid at first.
Almost half way everyone! I have to say that I'm enjoying carrying my Butterblade and also being with you all in this Challenge!
