USA-Made Axes for the Rugged Outdoorsman
Howdy folks!
Have you seen Ike’s “Super Speedy Firestarting” video? He’s sharing tips about Flint and Steel firestarting, and be sure to wait for his super speedy demonstration!
Thank you so much for watching, and we hope ya’ll have a great weekend out there!
Hey there,
Hope you’re all staying warm this chilly January. We’ve had a cold snap here, and a bit of snowy flurries yesterday.
This little Kephart recently got to take a trip into the Sipsey Wilderness area in Alabama. This area has many hiking trails across thousands of acres of woods with creeks, waterfalls, and well…wilderness. 😉
The destination on this particular day was the Big Tree, reportedly the largest tree in Alabama. And that tree is big!! It’s a Yellow Poplar, approximately 150 feet tall, and it takes about 4 grown men to reach around it.
Just to give you a scale, that little Kephart has a foot-long handle. That’s a large timber right there! 😉
The Big Tree is nestled in a big hollow, surrounded by a variety of evergreen bushes and trees, as well as two tall waterfalls spilling over from the top of the ridge. There’s also a large rock overhang, which made for a great spot for a fire and lunch underneath.
And of course the Kephart got to do its job there.
It’s amazing how many places of beauty there are right in our backyard or just a short day trip away. This one was definitely worth it!
Hope you have a great week out there, and thanks for stopping by!
