So good to see you and Tig back in action! Meal really came out nice and you definitely haven’t lost your touch when it comes to utensil carving. Thanks for sharing brother and hope you have a great evening.

Howdy Shane. Thanks for stopping by. I always think of you when I'm in the woods filming. Have a great week, brother.

What a great spot for an overnighter Kevin. That fireplace was perfect. Karen and Bodhi went out this morning while the snow was still firm but it warmed up quick making for hard hiking on the way back. Should have had her snowshoes. Bodhi found his first fresh moose shed for 2024, unfortunately the antler eaters had found it first and had gnawed away a good 25% of it but the color was amazing. I suspect it was porcupines that had gotten to it rather than mice judging from the teeth marks. We will head back up there in the next day or so but hard rain due tomorrow. Looking forward to part 2.

Not much snow here, Don. You can roam for miles. I want to look for moose sheds this spring. They stay up higher, and the roads are rough right now. That is a nice find, even if it is chewed a little.

What a fun adventure. Good for you! Thank you for sharing. I would love to draw that skull.................. love your camp, too.

[@WestForkWoodsman]

Hi Vickie. That was just up your favorite creek a ways. Sure was quiet. Thanks for watching!

[@timberdogz]

Awesome fireplace...nicely decorated with the skull! Spoon ans spatula set looked great! Great camp! Thanks for sharing!

[@WestForkWoodsman]

Thanks for stopping by, Timberdogz. Glad you liked my camp. Great to see your new pup on your channel this morning! Happy trails, my friend!

What a cool little film kev! You and Tig, packed up heavy and off on an adventure. Great little fireplace and some neat carvings. Thanks for making and sharing this. Peaceful and inspiring for me. Looking forward to part Two!

[@WestForkWoodsman]

Any time Pine. It was a lot of work this trip. I look forward to camping there in the future, now that the heavy lifting is done. There is a large creek 1/2 mile away with wild trout, so I have ideas about that. Thanks for watching, my friend. I always enjoy sharing with you.

Very nice video. My wildlife hatchet arrived today. I bought the Almike on my own, but you sold me on the wildlife hatchet. If I’m not careful I’ll end up with a handmade heirloom broom.

[@WestForkWoodsman]

Haha I'll sell ya whatever you need! You got to love that new hatchet. How's the hickory look?

[@ericd6099]

I think it’s the prettiest one I’ve seen yet. It’s dark like my small forest axe but with a little more character. I’ll email a pic.

[@WestForkWoodsman]

@@ericd6099 I would love to see it. Congrats, man. They are a real keepsake.

A most excellent video! Beautifully composed and told adventure. Thanks for making this and sharing it with us. Can't hardly wait for part 2. The lack of snow is surprising, especially compared to last year that persisted at our place into May. Cool find on the skull. Your spoon and spatula skills are impressive. It sure has me itching to get back over there.

[@WestForkWoodsman]

Glad you enjoyed, @TheKirbyCreekOutfit. Had the 102 with me the whole time, but only used it for peeling onions! Hardly any snow, even up high, but we've had a lot of rain. The back roads have been swampy with mud with all the freeze/thaw. It was really nice to roam in the woods without post holing or needing skis. Part 2 should be ready Thursday.

[@kirbycreekmo]

@@WestForkWoodsmanI saw a few teasers of the 102 in the video.

[@bunsonh8147]

Was thinking about you in Bellevue! Folks were sawin' wood and burning their fingers all weekend long over this way, too!

[@WestForkWoodsman]

That's good to hear, @bunsonh8147. Sounds like it was a good one. How about that Mighty Poplar!

[@bunsonh8147]

@@WestForkWoodsmanMighty Poplar and the Romeros were far and away my highlights. No shortage of other surprises!

[@WestForkWoodsman]

@@bunsonh8147 Both my fav's. I need a Romero banjo someday!

[@daveoverholt8540]

Another great video Kevin and I really like your style and adventures. Quick question...what saw is that? I've been looking for a pack/bow saw but just haven't pulled the trigger on one yet. Thanks for taking us along and keep up the great work!!

[@WestForkWoodsman]

Thank you for the kind words. That saw is a Schmidt Pack Saw - the original collapsible buck saw. Still available on Ebay. Originally called the Curtis Stebbins pack saw, been around for many years. Only weighs a pound. I like vintage, old school stuff, and the saw works great. Thanks for your support.

[@daveoverholt8540]

@@WestForkWoodsman Good deal and Thank You for the information. I really like it and I'll check them out.

Tig says he has a good bed at home.

You know it, Woollyman. She was glad to be home with momma. I think she's spoiled!
