First Hill of 2024, Bushcooker LT1, Victorinox SAK reliability discussion.

The weather finally broke and I am out on the hill today. Not an epic walk but pretty views and over a brew I talk about the SAKs, hexamine and the weather.

My gosh what beautiful scenery!!! Thanks very much for taking us along, buddy!

[@fadingmargins]

Always a pleasure David!

A nice day and place to put some wear on the moccasins. You are so correct about Swiss Army Knives. Carrying one is superstition to me - if I don't have it, something will arise that I wished I did. I could probably get by with just a Tinker.

[@fadingmargins]

I always said you are a wise fellow.

[@stevenwhiting6744]

Good drills mucker! And its bright and NOT raining on Sunday morning! You are indeed correct talking of the Welsh weather - wet for 2 months then gloriously beautiful and the best of places to be ❤

[@fadingmargins]

Thanks 👍

[@JH_1095]

I agree about the Victorinox knives. Never an issue or problem.. I love my traditional knives as well for the nostalgia but you can't beat a SAK..

[@fadingmargins]

Sounds like a mirror of my own experience.

[@vinniesdayoff3968]

Good to be out and about Steve eh

[@fadingmargins]

Oh yes!! Very much so.

[@andrewhondo]

pretty country you got thar i hoped you enjoy it sir hello from west Virginia

[@fadingmargins]

WV is world famous for pretty country I understand. It is pretty here, if a bit too crowded for the likes of me.

[@jack_batterson]

Looks beautiful!

[@fadingmargins]

Only when she deigns to cooperate of course.

[@RedswedeOutdoors]

A beautiful day for a walk, what more can one ask for? Cheers!

[@fadingmargins]

Perhaps pancakes and pork belly?

[@Wojtek7060]

Good to see that you are still hiking Steve. Yeah, you are right about Victorinox. My Hiker was a very practical knife. I have sold it. Mora and Opinel too

[@fadingmargins]

Great to hear from you mate. I was thinking of you the other day. So you’ve gone knife free?

[@Wojtek7060]

@@fadingmargins I use an old Polish electrician knife. It was originaly produced by Gerlach. Oskard, Polmag, and other companies still produce them. Mine is from Schmith Polska. Very cheap working knife

[@tecnotrog1]

Love my SAK Spartan and I pair that with a case sodbuster. And in Eastern NC I can carry any type or length folder.

[@fadingmargins]

Pretty close to my carry too! Ranger and an Otter Hippekniep

[@hackneeey]

Out of the traps running with this one Steve, bush cooker & Swiss Army knives-what’s not too like ? Countryside is looking good ,glowing indeed ,I agree re the Swiss Army knives a few recent purchase disasters have me wondering why bother with any other regards Mick

[@fadingmargins]

Had a similar disaster with a recent Case.
