The ESEE 4 is one of my favorite knives now. I stripped refinished and added custom scales to it years ago. This is one of the original design. Mods, I recommend going through this topic and remove a lot of the old posts that no longer have images.
Spent the day at the river with my wife and son. Campfire, fishing, snacks and a couple cold beers. Nothing better.
Out for a test setup with my new underquilt yesterday.... Esee 4 came along to help out with my coffee See how it's attached to the hammock and if it fits properly. During my walk to to a suitable sport came across this papershedding birch... too nice not to put some of this super thin bark in my pocket. Hammock setup, Hennessey Classic After just a few minutes this was the result with the underquilt on there, seems like a proper fit to me. It's from the Geer Top brand (cheap), feels sturdy but is a bit bulky in my pack even when fully compressed. One thing that'll take me some getting used to is that my hammock is a bottom entry type, so I have to pull the underquilt to the side to get in or out. Time for lunch Filled the Firebox with the birchbark from earlier and made some feathers with my Esee 4 to get the fire started. Put my mug on for coffee Then we wait... Then there's coffee and some cheese sandwiches, good times
Woodprep too, but mostly softer woods like birch, spruce or pine, they dont damage the coating as much as oak or beech.
