I made a leather sheath for my frog gig. It’s functional but still too big. Next week I’m going to try Kydex.

 

 

I tried stitching but that didn’t work so super glued the edges.

My coworker wanted to go to upstate New York today but due to weather and it being really far away. That didn't happen. Instead we ended up going to the NJ Pine Barrens. My coworker is not a hiker and after I stopped scaring the crap out him (If we get lost we can drink pee) we saw a couple of deer, actually saw what's inside the buildings at Batsto.

There's a reproduction of a general store, a stable and several living quarters. I saw an antique apple corer. I wonder if I could do that with a wine cork screw.

a fire cracker and a drill work pretty good

Could be loud and messy.

I've never some odd things in the Pine Barrens, but the Jersey Devil wasn't one of them.

An interesting quesion came up about the compass on his smart phone. Does it still work if the phone is not getting a signal? His seemed to work but was off by a few degrees from what my compasses were reading.

The one in my GPS works without satellite reception and I have one in a watch but both have to be calibrated when you move to a differant area

Good to know. He freaked a little when he couldn't get a bar. He freaked a little more when I pulled out my knife to see if his compass app was affected by a nearby metal object.

Day hike on Wednesday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Shore line trimmed some of the pine trees along the tracks. So there was a cause for fat wood.

I found this knife in a box this morning. I thought I had lost it some time ago.

I walked into town, had lunch and started back.

I love that last pic of the tracks, a picture can say so many things and that one just speaks volumes to me.

Sounds like it would have been hilarious to see.
