Got a few things to fix, sharpen and transform. Some of my bungee cords with hook ends need the cord replaced. Axe, machete and two filleting knives need honing. Fun stuff. Oh, better check my medium Alice pack.
Good advice. Couple years ago the doctor said I have congestive heart failure. And I tell you this heat is no joke. Walking to the mailbox takes everything I got. It's honestly a bit of a depressing situation. Some days I'm okay some days not. But when its hot there are no good days. Any information is welcomed. Thanks for the motivation to keep on keeping on.
Stay cool, Blackie. I don't do well in heat either. I picked the wrong week to go camping (last week) It was like the waiting room to hell out there. But at least I had lots of shade. Spent most of the day in my screen tent with 2 battery fans blowing on me. Was able to enjoy campfires at night. Up here in Michigan, it's not usually that hot this early in the year. 🥵
We get cabin fever down here in the summer. Last summer was the hottest here in Florida on record and my last year working as a Trim Carpenter after 40 years of melting every summer.
Blackie, WOW, Now that's Hot !!! Great PM on your Gear when we can't be out in the woods. I really appreciate the term you said the other day , Woodsmans and Woods Craft we get it from the woods and make it ourselves. Thanks Again Sir for all you do. God Bless Y'all, You and Mrs Blackie, Bear and Mrs. Bear .
Dyneema is the best lightweight cord that I know of too. It's actually overkill for most uses. I used mule tape on my hammock. It's strong, but slippery. 1000 pound test,. Probably not as good as Blacky's straps though.
Dutch Wear has the Spider Web 1.5 webbing. It is the newest and lightest hammock suspension webbing on the market. It has a 1000-pound breaking strength and weighs just 1.5 grams per foot. Half the weight of those ultra light poly huggers. $21-$51 depending if you get any titanium hardware. Both straps fit in an Altoids tin with titanium Dutch clips.
i am sold out right now but will be doing a new run very soon if you will email me at downdirtywoodscraft@gmail.com i will add you to the next run list and email you when the run is about to begin so you can lock yours in
try to stay out of the heat .
Cabin fever here in middle GA too!
yep but we got to hang in there
Stay cool and don't stress that heart, Blackie
i will do my best
You are so common sense and experienced over,a lifetime, thank you
glad to do it

Thanks Blackie. 100 degree plus temps with humidity takes all my outdoor fun away.
Right on

Good time of year for a big old bowl of ice cold melon and other fruits.
You got that right
Blackie, Thanks and Be Safe!

Great video. For me living in Idaho the winter is when I do all of my pm. That is also when I make my paper cartridge for my BP revolvers.

Yeah there's no reason to be out in the heat. From 11:00 am to about 4:00 pm ish.
Haha! Make that 7am to 7pm or later in middle GA. And the other hours aren't nice either.
yep we go out real early and avoid the high heat
