It's Christmas break. I fully intend to go out into the woods I just moved next to and get some practical field time in with my beloved '18. But every 3 days, the snow Gods see fit to dump 4 inches of snow on us Hoosiers, and I can't find my one pair of waterproof boots I packed up 7 months ago when I lived in the city. So apart from shoveling the walk..I guess I'll just wait. I've been experimenting with the draw knife a bit more recently and have discovered it is quite useful, both for shaving kindling..of course, but for just plain chopping. Almost as good as the hatchet on the end. I can get through 6 inch thick pieces in a matter of minutes. I've found the box with my hiking gear and pack, so at some point cabin fever will get to me and I'll get out there. Oh well..
