Hello all! I am a southerner, from Arkansas, USA. I was introduced to your site via a link in the BF Wilderness & Survival Skills subforum, and really like what I've seen thus far. I am an avid outdoorsman and enjoy hunting, fishing, kayaking, camping, and general woodswalking. I was born and raised in and about the woods, and love to learn and share with others of like mind. I am including a few assorted pics to help introduce myself.

Some assorted blade shots:
First up my leatherman Wave W/ mini kit. includes 1 small firesteel, 40ft. of 30lb. Fireline braid, 8 asst. fish hooks, 2 small firestraws, and 10 ft. of braided cord on the sheath.

ATB, Jon.

My EDC folder is either my Camillus Heat (reworked & reprofiled), or my Byrd Cara Cara, which was convexed in the above pic, but was since flattened to zero with a tiny secondary added, cuts like a laser.
My normal bush fixed blade is either a Mora Clipper, or SS Mora 760 in orange/orange. If I am going heavy, then my Ontario Marine Raider Bowie.

And to all you guys, thanks for the welcomes!
