-- Just playin around, I recieved a 12" Condor Bolo Machete for Christmas.
Made it wok a bit in the woods today.

Hey guys, I got a few new things for Christmas, bushcraft oriented. I got my wife and my mom to get me all bushy things, so that was pretty cool. Right here I got a Condor 12 inch bolo machete there. I've got to do some work to the handle still, KGD has one and he thinned out the handle a bit and it actually feels a lot better. This one's too wide, but I've got a Dremel too, so I will fix that up. and I also got this huge Maxpedition water bottle holder I think it's called the 12 by 5 and it's got a zebra can in it and like the smallest zebra cans in it and a water bottle and a sterno stove which is a pretty cool setup I think it's a lot better bigger than the other one I had and it's a it's very cool some old Turley knives patch on there so this is how it nests in here I've got a strap these on my side straps but I don't have the sterno stove in it right now because I'm not going to use it my Nalgene in there it's got a small Billy can I haven't used it yet my whole reasoning behind this was I had I had the smaller pouch and I had just my stainless steel cup with the wire bail on it but the wire kept ripping the inside of the pouch so I didn't really want that anymore and it was kind of ghetto i don't know i didn't have it done up too nice so and then in the bottom is the lid and a little dish that it comes with so i'm just actually going to use it for a cup today i'm going to make some tea and drink it over there i don't see it any reason why i shouldn't you know i never thought i was a fan of Condor at all i had a neck knife from them and i didn't really like it and i just don't like the way the bush lures look and all that stuff uh that's just my opinion and i'm not saying that they're bad or anything i just don't like them um but then when my buddy Ken KGD got one of these bolos um i started using it a lot and i actually really really like it it's a very useful tool uh we both beat the crap out of our stuff and and he he really really beat his up and uh no worse for wear at all it comes with a good edge on it and there's this false edge up here for uh if you got a dig or whatever in the ground this is something that you don't worry about like if you if you stick it into the ground or whatever it doesn't really matter uh it's all good around all around good tool i think i paid 60 bucks with shipping to canada that's not bad at all like i was mentioning earlier the handle it's freaking wide so i gotta take my dremel and and knock a bunch off um it's too wide for comfort to be honest but that's all right we'll fix it up good and play with it today and uh have some fun go on buddy you can feather sticks you can use up here it's not it's not sharpened so it's not bad kind like a choil. I guess it is a choil. I'm not sure. It's not the most comfortable thing, that's for sure.
