Yellow jackets typically become a real problem around here in the fall, but I've noticed quite a few buzzing around lately. Over the past couple of years, I've been stung fifteen times on four separate occasions. It's not an enjoyable experience to disturb an underground nest you didn't even know about causing a swarm to attack all at once. I now take measures to limit their population, and one way is the use of traps made specifically for yellow jackets. With their increased recent activity, I thought I should go ahead and put those out before things get out of hand this year.
I surveyed the bushcraft-style stands I use to hang the traps and found one had been damaged by a fallen tree limb. So, to help with repairs, I brought my @Cohutta Tellico. Here's a glamour shot before we got to work...
These stands consist of two sticks that form a cross, and the horizontal stick from the existing stand is what got damaged. After finding a suitable replacement, I began by cutting a log cabin notch where the sticks should mate.
I then cut a couple stake notches toward each end (not shown in this picture) and sharpened the end of the old stick to make it easier to drive into the ground.
Then I assembled the stand using paracord to secure the two sticks together as well as create tension that helps hold everything solid once the trap is hung. That's it; simple and functional.

I used my Hunter yesterday to see how it would handle food prep for my Beef Stew. It made short work of the meat but at 3/16" thick it struggled a little with the potato and really struggled with the carrots.

The s35vn is holding up ok in the keys this week. Took it snorkeling and fishing. Only has a few spots on it. Allen Morrison made the sheaths with this trip in mind by adding the spacers for better water drainage. I'm going to drill a bunch of additional holes in the sheath when I get home.
