Thanks Tim..
We finally got a break in the weather and planning to hit the trails hard and often.. Found out yesterdy how poor of a shape I am in!!
My daughter smoked me and she is usually chasing me!!!

I KNOW I’m in bad shape. Haven’t been out in about 4 months, and I’m anxious to hit the trail again- weather is perfect for it! Unfortunately, it’s been one thing after another keeping us from going. Hopefully this coming week though!

Always have a saw with me...

Brought my Bps, Colonial #2008 and Forest Master on a hike. Brought back grapes, sumac and walnuts. The hobo with lanyard is my sons, he was proud to carry it today. He saw me taking a picture of my knife and wanted in on it.

Nice pics, TWKG! Looks like an awesome trail! Like those knives, too!

Thanks dude. The trail is one of our favorites, we hike there often. Not much need for something as stout as a fixed blade, but you never know i guess

Thanks buddy. I was limited by carrying capacity. We just went for a hike, didn't bring vessels for foraging. We could have harvested enough sumac to resupply all of hurricane stricken Florida though, it grows everywhere. Glad you didn't make like the sumac and fly away in the wind in all that ruckus

Thanks friend. This is from Kiekhaefer park. South east corner of Lake Winnebago. Beautiful area.

Brought my shackler that was recently gifted to me out on a trip to my favorite apple orchard.

Great pics, TWKG!

Please explain to me how sumac is used.

I think walking canes are made from sumac.

Certainly

It can be used to make a nice tea that people call Sumacade. You can simply soak a few berry clusters in a pitcher of water overnight and enjoy. Here I knocked all the berries off and made my own cheese cloth sacks and tea bags. It's heavy in vitamin C and is supposed to be good for asthmatics and people with lung conditions.

Most do. The poison sumac, like poison oak and ivy, is a noxious group of weeds named for the tree whose leaf theirs looks similar too. The tea is lightly tangy or sour. Not a strong taste at all. Some people sweeten it, but I find no need to, and as a diabetic I appreciate a carb free drink.

Ill drop some in the mail for you tomorrow

Next hurricane you can have a drink on me.

Thanks pal!!!

What Sumacade looks like. These bags needed a longer soak. 48 hours. The staples I used began to react after 72 hours though, so next time I'll seek out better staples.

My walk today.....

I always like that one Scott and love that it is being used.
