The photo of the hatchet and two knives was good because these look like useful items. My stuff is modern, but I like my small assembled-at-home Norwegian steel knife. Good to use something you made and like. richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383058170962893554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093666650139166859.post-816158361962438982014-01-12T15:28:55.426-08:002014-01-12T15:28:55.426-08:00Thank you Paleotool.

I could go out in the woods stark naked & still survive, but it is not fun & it is a lot of hard work. Some original woodsrunners no doubt did not carry much with them figuring they could make do if anything went wrong. Some of these may not have survived, some may have done.<br />The fact is that when putting gear together like this we are still hampered to some extent with our 21st century way of thinking. I have been doing this for a long time now, & try desperately to put myself in an 18th century way of thinking. We do the best we can with what we have.<br />Take care out there.<br />Regards, Keith.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12562001301604097606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093666650139166859.post-44701789524268286662014-01-12T10:23:51.841-08:002014-01-12T10:23:51.841-08:00I like this thinking.

I have gone through spell of carrying absolutely everything and other times I think I need almost nothing (knife, fire kit, string, and water bottle).<br />It would be very interesting to look at a lot of "woodsrunners" both modern and historical and see what we all carry. Maybe I'll try to post something like this myself.<br />Anyway, GREAT BLOG!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093666650139166859.post-59806839812349498602014-01-11T18:24:53.304-08:002014-01-11T18:24:53.304-08:00Good article.Good article.Gorges Smythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777621500611603786noreply@blogger.com
