Rough Ryder Faded Blue Jeans Swayback Whittler – It’s a looker with my 2 favorite Blades
I love a good whittling knife. And Rough Ryder did a fantastic job on this little beauty. With the Faded Jean handle and the orange hi lites between the liners and topping with my 2 favorite Blades for whittling it had to come home.

Retrospec Drifter 25-30 inch Snowshoes – Perfect for the novice snow trudger.
One thing I love about a 4 season state is you get to enjoy all types of weather in the outdoors. One thing I love is a trudge for a cuppa coffee after a good snow fall.
It’s quiet, typically nobody else seen. And beautiful to trudge thru. Except the trudge can get difficult if you are like me who wanders of the beaten path.
The snow hides all. Including holes, Fallen branches rocks etc. Which can be a problem.
What to do. Well I know snow people and one of them introduced me to snow shoes. Something I had not really considered untill I tried them. The joy. So went shopping here’s what I found
Remember others can teach you a survival skill. Stay safe out there

Smith & Wesson Executive Barlow – With assist opening
I am a Barlow fan when it comes to the traditional style of folding pocket knives. Nice and simple, single blade and looks good.
This one had something none of my other Barlows or any of my folders have, Assisted opening.
The idea of one handed opening had never really interested me. Being traditional knives I felt they are nail nick two hand opening. But after trying this out. Well maybe they won me over….but there again maybe not.
Only time will tell.
Remember knowledge is a survival skill. Keep it updated to suit the need.

The SUDZA STICK – A sentimental excuse to whittle try some wood tattooing…”
Growing up in Africa I ate alot if traditional foods. One of my favorites was and still us Sudza. Made from corn meal it is a bland meal. However adding sauses and other relish dishes to ” dip” the sudza in makes all the difference.
To Make sudza you need a hearty spoon or spatula to mix while it cooks. Hence I made me a personal Sudza stick. The joy
