I mean it wound up being a minor injury, I was just pointing out the near miss and how unprepared I was hoping that others might learn a little with me.
Yeah I’m definitely a bit whacko for hunting where it’s useful, but struggling up slick steep creek banks in the dark it has been super useful for getting around. The design allows it dig in the ground a bit and grab a buried root to pull on. The risk is probably greater than the reward though...
Bought these a couple years and just don’t think I’ll ever need them unfortunately. Maybe one day I’ll get to do that Alaskan adventure but not today.

Absolutely. Had it been closer to my wrist like I initially thought it was, and removing the blade caused profuse bleeding, maybe then? But no doubt, my level of knowledge right now is simply stuff it with gauze and wrap it for pressure and get to help. However I was unable to do that, even once...
I love my Echo/Sherman setup for a daypack but I often wonder what will be next. Just don't have the same feeling for Kifaru that I used to. New logo sucks. Constantly read reports of poor CS. Those clips in the OP are ridiculous. Probably work fine, but so did K-clips, which are low profile and...
It’s hard to visualize, it took a great amount of skill lol. Basically the pic below is more or less the entry position, with some angles unseen caused by the swing itself, grip less merino gloves, resistance on the end of pole by the brush, etc. I believe the entry wound was more perpendicular...
Great idea to put some bare necessities in the bino harness. Will have to play with that.
Improving mine wasn’t hard, just adding tape and gauze, some betadine/iodide wipes, blood clotting powder, Israeli bandage. Pepto bismol pills and contact wetting drops weren’t going to do me much good if...
Going to call this season the season of learning. After rattle snake encounters in WY, truck setup failures, and now this I am more convinced than ever that I’ll never stop learning big lessons at any point in my life.
So this past Friday night I hastily made a decision to backpack into a swamp...
