Scandinavian Style Neck Sheath For A Mora Classic 2/0

Here is my latest creation for a friend of mine. It's a scandi style neck sheath for a Mora Classic 2/0. This was my first time making a sheath of this variety and it was allot of fun. I ended up adding a firesteel holder for a 1/4 inch rod and a leather cord for the neck.

Fur and Tracks at Northwest River Park

I had a great afternoon hike at my local park today and happened upon some fur and a track in the mud. At first glance at the fur, I was thinking Black Bear, as they are known to be in the area. I am no tracking expert, but that doesn't look like a dog track to me!

Black Forest Field Bag Large(Part 2)

                    Here is the completed large model of the Black Forest Field Bag, that I custom made for Old Man(BCUSA). It underwent several design changes along the way, including the addition of heavy duty 2" shoulder straps to help evenly distribute the weight of the fully loaded bag. I also added a 2" side release buckle into the shoulder strap for easy removal of the bag on the fly. Then I made a paracord lashing for the bottom mounted D-rings.  This bag can hold a substantial amount of kit and a shelter or jacket lashed to the bottom. Very pleased with how it turned out and I hope Old Man likes it!

Dimensions: 13L x 7W x 11H

Material: Brown 12 oz. Canvas
