Is that
a fish spear or a small game snare?

I'm also a big fan of the show ALONE and have enjoyed each season. Over the years my opinion on the belt knife has changed quite a bit, years ago I was hung up on the "one tool option" style of knife but now I have moved to the multi-tool camp. I love my fixed blade, full tang knifes and I carry one whenever I go to the woods but I don't normally carry an axe. On ALONE everyone takes an axe and a saw so do you really need a fixed blade knife. These days I'm more intrested in the axe they take than the belt knife.

This is gold.
survival/primitive Gorge hooks
I am getting ready for a (sort of) survival fishing outing in South Africa.
I saw it done in the usa ,where they mostly catch trout and tilapia , so I thought to give it a try (non-trout), down here in South Africa.
This Gorge hook is crafted out of an Eland leg bone & Leatherman P4
(Took me about 2 x hours from bone pick-up to final product)
Just for the heck of it, let's wait and see.....
Another fishing gorge hook.
I find the Warthog jawbone bone 'easier' to work with, as it seem to be 'softer' than the Eland femur, though for this purpose,it will work just as fine! [It took me only about 30 min by comparison.]
I see in the usa they even caught catfish and bass this way very easily.
This Warthog was caught in a &%#@#& poacher's snare!
I know some people heat up the bone before working with it,
but these were just plain " raw" bone.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
