I went out to cut spars but first I went to check out two spots where there were some falls I want to sort out and put the logs up on a frame off the ground to dry properly. I took the new adze and it works really well to carve out a level spot for the vise and for brushing out around what I want to cut. I will probably buy a proper one but its fine for now. The head stayed on, more or less and the length of the handle is really good and the back of the head has a hammer that you can hit tree trunks and tell if they are sound. I pulled out some blackberry shoots miles from anywhere. The old suit works well, is cool and keeps the flies and mozzies off me when I work. I should finish the new one and make a pouch for my hiby although I probably shouldnt because its not tactical to listen to music in the field, you should be listening out for signs of things that shouldnt be out there, like people.
