Ahh yes the $1,000 question. Well when i make my way home, which is Texas. I will be doing some hiking, fishing, trail riding. And get this my wifey has found an interest in Kayaking. So we are gonna be doing that as well. Not sure where though. I am really excited to my SOG pup just came in the mail today! So that will deffinatly be in there/on my pack. As for my skill, there is always room for improvment! I grew up in the woods, thats where my buddies and i did our damage. But Honestly i couldnt tell you which berries to eat or not, lol.
