I got another one of those cheap knife. At $6.24 plus free shipping on orders above $25, I just can't resist to buy.
Master USA Neck Knife.
6.75" Overall, half serrated 440 black stainless steel blade, red cord wrapped handle, hard plastic sheath. Very good sheath retention, no rattle whatsoever.
Four finger grip. Quite comfortable in the hand but I will replace lanyard and cord wrap with real 550 paracord.
I might remove the serrations on the blade too to make it look less tactical. I've really never been a fan of serrations.
Is it sharp? You bet, I cut my fingertip while I was testing the knife by making a stake. I never knew I was cut until the blood came oozing out. Just a baby cut though.
As one Youtuber always say as his closing remarks - "And remember, don't cut yourself." Well, I'd be careful next time.
As part of my preparation for our vacation (see post below), I bought a mess kit from Walmart. I thought it would be nice to have a bonfire and cook our food by the beach.
Mess kit by Outdoor Products. Includes a fry pan/plate , bowl, a pot with a handle and lid, and a cup with a handle. Lightweight and made of 100% aluminum.
Fry pan/plate.
Bowl.
Pot with lid.
And a cup with handle.
Unfortunately, its been very cold and nobody wants to go out and have a bonfire so I wasn't able to test my mess kit. I guess I just have to use it in the park one of these days.
After 3 months of planning and waiting, finally we're able to have a long vacation. We rented a rest house near Lake Michigan in Porter County, Indiana and had a grand time swimming (wading actually), drinking and eating. The lakeshore indeed looks like a seashore and reminds me of the beach in my home province in the Philippines.
Wading, and soaking my feet with the energy from the warm waters of the lake.
Enjoying the breeze and the cool weather.
The sunset looks like the sunset at Manila Bay too.
