Friend in the Garden!

This little guy was hanging 10 in the garden today on one of my plant barrels. He looks like he could take out some plant pests if he wanted to! Probably looking for a drink however as water is the top priority of most creatures here right now.... The drought here in East Texas has been a challenge. We really need some rain!





Dragonfly Lake Day Trip with my sons (Leon County Texas)

Took the boys to Dragonfly Lake yesterday to fish, hunt dragonflys, play with the knives, and just cut loose. Even in the midst of the East Texas Drought, nature endures, adapts, and thrives. It was a great recharger from the work week to just enjoy the scenery with the boys. Hope everyone enjoys.

Peace-





Robertson County WMA Day Hike

I visited the Robertson County WMA Type II Area today. It was a great day to be in the woods. I took the Canon Rebel Camera with the 55-250MM (IS) Lens. The creeks were very dry, but a big storm was pushing it's way through East Texas. This was my first trip to this park. The Badlands Diablo Back Pack was perfect for the day trip. I packed it with some food bars. 2 canteens, firesteel, compass, tarp, bed roll, 550 paracord, the Rebel Camera, Scrapyard 6 Knife, P38 can opener, and a small flashlight. The pack distrubutes weight so well I hardly knew it was all back there. The Diablo also has the Hypervent system which keeps airflow between your back and the aluminum frame of the pack to keep you cool. It worked like a champ in the 90 degree late spring heat. This pack is very durable and I expect I'll be packing it for many years to come. I plan to order the 3L Hydration Bladder for it this week, because the canteens get a little cumbersome on the trail. All in all a very fun day trip and I intend to go back soon.

Points!

I dusted off my old arrowhead collection today for a post on outdoor forum I’m a member of. I was flooded with dozens of memories from walking the Savannah River Basin as a child in Edgefield, S.C.  Sunsets, Whitetail Deer, turkeys, okra fields, caretakers, red clay, dusty roads...... Searching for arrowheads as young boy was a thrilling time! All the wonder of the woods was at my feet in that red clay!
The connection to the craftsman was unmistakable then, and it still is now as I hold them in my hand and think about how incredible it was that their very livelihood depended on the craftsmanship of those small points. It humbles me as I hunt, fish, and camp with all my modern tools. It does me well to keep one of these points in my pocket to keep my head right about how good we have it out there these days!
