    Tonight's DIY: antler toggles





    Decided to make these after seeing then in a PIF. Lesson learned:I need a new Dremel.

    With this crowd, I shoulda weighed 'em...I'll do that in just a little bit (when I get up the gumption to head back out back), but they're not particularly heavy. If you're counting grams, you probably wouldn't want to carry them (in favor of sticks or something along the trail).

    make some fire steel handles out of the antlers

    Who cares about showers, gourmet food, using flush toilets. Just keep on walking and being away from it all.

    There are times that the only way you can do something is to do it alone.

    Nice,

    We have about 50 sets of horns laying around.
    Might have to do that.
