My only flying is the rare sailplane lesson over the desert near Edwards AFB. I had a hawk play in the same thermal once, but aside from that only one near collision. A Ultralight with an equally ultra idiot once nearly flew into me. Only vigorous rudder kicking avoided disaster. So, I have slipped considerable altitude and have to make a unscheduled landing among the Joshua trees. It's going to be dark very quickly and that means COLD. I have a Falkniven Forester. this replaced my well liked Cold Steel SRK as the core survival knife. The two are very similar in layout. The Falkniven "lacks" the epoxy finish which I found a hassle when new and began degrading with real use. The Falkniven also has a usefull extruded tang for light hammering. This knife is robust enough to excavate a sleeping pit in the hard soil and easily break up wood for my three fires. In all likelyhood, there will be a rave party just beyond the joshuas and my photons will be appropriated by pretty young girls.
