A few things I appreciate.

My Eastlands are my go to shoe. In the office, in the woods, and in town.



My Pioneer is my favorite pocket knife I've ever owned.
Cut rope...check...punch leather...check...open spaghetti cans....check...tighten screws....check



Bertucci makes great watches that far exceed their price range. I paired this one with a Jcrew canvas strap applied some Filson oil treatment and now it lives on my wrist.



My favorite navigation system. Made by Marble's outdoors.



The battery on this PDA never goes dead. A Parker Jotter paired with Field Notes is a perfect combo.



Billy Kirk card case. One month down and a couple hundred months to go.



One of a kind fixed blade made by Scott Summerville. Outside of chopping down trees it meets all of my backcountry cutting needs.




The G11.



I'm down to three personal keys plus my car key. I'd like to cut back some more.
In the words of Jack Johnson, "I've been losing lots of keys lately, I don't know what that means, but maybe I'd be better off with things that can be locked at all."

I carry most of these on a daily basis. The only exceptions being the second knife and the compass which are my wilderness companions.

A day on the lake.

A day at Big Ridge State Park. A short hike out to the lake for some fishing and exploring. Fall in the mountains of the south makes for great times in the woods and on the shore.

Following the blue blazes.

Packing in our days supplies.

Getting ready to harass the fish.

Looking for freshwater oyster shells.

A fungus among us.

 The blue on its face practically lit up. 

Braving the mud to try for some smallmouth. 

Creel bag just in case I get something worth keeping.

My view for most of the morning.

Hooked a blue gill.

Catch and release.

Tenkara fly fishing is my favorite method nowadays.

Intense.

Posing on the dam.
