Re: Knives in the Wild
I'm with dlr110, not a fan of poisonous animals. I'd rather be charged by a coastal brown bear (have been several times) than poisonous snakes, spiders etc.
Haven't been getting out of town much lately so no "in the wild" pictures.

I keep a close eye out for snakes, actually haven't seen a poisonous one this year....knock on wood. What is a Coastal Brown Bear? A Grizzly subspecies?roseandthistlecustom wrote: ↑Sun Aug 30, 2020 4:24 pm I'm with dlr110, not a fan of poisonous animals.

Re: Knives in the Wild
Quoting since they said it better than me. What they left out is that coastal browns are usually larger than Grizzlies (because of a higher protein diet if I remember correctly) and not as aggressive.
"Is an alaskan brown bear the same as a grizzly?
The difference is regional: bears found inland are referred to as grizzlies, while those on the coasts are known as brown bears. Grizzlies are actually a subspecies of brown bear, Ursus arctos horribilis, found in dense forests, alpine meadows and mountain valleys."
Just got the Waynorth Black Jack so had to do a family pic.

An old Maher & Grosh Ebony jack in a Possumhaw tree Whose berries are slightly past their prime. I think where I live in Southern Illinois is about the northern most part Of this tree's range.

Thank you, Floyd and thank you, Garry. I appreciate the comments. That was a spur of the moment pic while out with the dog.

Looks a lot like what we call elderberry in my part of the country.

Re: Knives in the Wild
I like the way you posed the knives against the coastline which appears just slightly foggy.
