Thanks. We both enjoying being out in the woods. Chief gets pretty excited when I pull out the packs and start loading them up! You can't go wrong with that knife - it's really solid and has a great feel. The black coating on the blade adds some noticeable friction when batoning wood, but hopefully that will wear off soon under use like my RAT-7 did.
Not a whole lot. I get him to carry his own food and some water. I'll also add in a few small things just to balance the load. On the way out, I'll put other things in in place of the food.. sometimes the Bahco saw, all the trash, etc. I'll load him up a bit more in the winter, but now when it's hot for him, I keep it pretty light.
They are ok, especially when you're hungry after hiking! But, Mtn House is better. Sometime when I remember, I want to try some other brands that Shug has shown just to do something different. Maybe next trip.
Thanks, he listens very well and learns quickly.
Sawtooth is nice and not quite as heavily used as some others. There's good water there; I've never seen it dry. The water is about 3 or 4 tenths of a mile from camp, so bring containers to haul back water. That way you only have to make one trip to the creek.
