Ozark Trail $10 D2 Knife
Переглядів 6774 місяці тому
This new Walmart knife is getting lots of attention due to being a crossbar lock with a D2 steel blade. I try it out and discover that it is very good, especially for the money. I did find a couple of things that are bothersome. Still a great value in a cheap knife. 3.25" blade, 4.25 injection molded handle, 7.5" overall. At the end I show a progression of Ozark Trail knives I own, and many of ...

Seeking Fall Colors

Hoping to find some late fall colors in the Sacramento Mountains of south East New Mexico. First a stop at a brewpub for lunch. A short hike into the mountains, then back to village. Stopped to look at an interesting snow machine on the way. A walk through Cloudcroft, then pie and coffee!

I use my everyday cutting pericore.Cutting bank line cutting boxes.Open everything you can name.I've used it.I keep a chart but I use it every day
One of my favorite NM hikes, even tho I haven't been able to complete it in a while!
Yes, it's a very nice hike. This is the 3rd or 4th time I have done it.
Gorgeous! Love the Pennsylvanian limestone in Otero County👍😁
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
These are great videos. Thanks.
Glad you like them!
What a cool guy.
Thanks!
amazing
Glad you think so!
Might as well keep it, put it in a junk drawer or something.
Yeah, but I have a few other knives that fill that niche. :-) It does seem to be smoothing out with lots of playing with it though. It's so popular, I could probably sell it for $12 and make a profit! :-)
Picked mine up today. It came razor sharp an smooth as can be. I've never handled a bugout either but this knife in d2 is well worth it. Cut a bunch of cardboard various thickness an it's still hair shaving sharp.
Yeah, it's definitely impressive for $10. I haven't cut any cardboard yet, will have to try that. One guy claimed he cut cardboard for 7 hours, I think, before it was dull.
@NMWanderings yea I heard him talking in his video about that. It's definitely slicy.
I grew up in Tularosa. There are some really beautiful places that the ditch water runs through. The house I grew up in had a head gaye that would fill up enough to get in the water in the summer and play around when we were kids. You could hear the water running outside of my bedroom window. There were a lot more trees back in fhe 70s and 80s. Some streets were dark. Almost like driving through a tunnel. Beautiful town.
Sounds great! Still a nice town.
Racist town if you’re not Mexican, That church a reminder revolt of 1680 Spanish reminder lots of hate in this town
7:57 mark. Wonder what made those prints in the snow in a straight line.
I'm not sure. My first thought was a kid's sled, but maybe someone dragging a pole or walking stick?
@@NMWanderings Stop the video at the 7:57 mark. Put it on TV. Look left. The people tracks are far left. A little out from there, off the people path, in snow, is a solitary line of tracks.
@@DesertRatGardener Oh yeah, interesting.
I don't for a second believe the official story
A lot of people had that reaction...
Beautiful hike. I feel as if I'm there on the trail. That disgraceful janitor looking at child porn realized he could be caught. So he told the Sunspot director a lie that everyone was in danger from a killer with weapons in the woods coming to kill employees. Director shut down Sunspot, called authorities. FBI sent agents up the quickest way possible - helicopters. After the investigation, the janitor was arrested and charged. Anyway, love your hike.
Thank you for the information, I was never completely clear why the heavy response. I like your channel thumbnail. I have both...
Sorry for lack of content lately. I shot this around Thanksgiving, but just now getting it edited. I have another video to work on, then I will upload it shortly.
HI,i really ike your New Mexico videos,I love the history. I hope you'll make some more soon!
Thank you! Sorry for the late reply. I have been too busy to work on the channel, but I am going to upload a video or two, probably today.
Nice!
Glad you liked it. I think the new version is a little better, and then I did a follow-up video on the acequias. Thanks for the comment.
I've never heard it called the sleeping Indian. We've always called her the sleeping lady. Are you able to go off the beaten path to scavenge for rocks?
You could be right... Someone told me that was the name. Yes, I camp, hike, and maybe even backpack. I keep my eye out for fossils, but I don't know much about rocks. Geology was the only college course I ever failed!
@NMWanderings Thank you for your quick response. Also thank you for sharing this info.
@@TheeBattyWhite You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
For a more in-depth look at acequias, PBS has this program: www.pbs.org/video/acequias-the-legacy-lives-on-ff9qji/
wow
For anyone interested, here is a compilation of old video from the site: Trinity Test Preparations (Full) One hour,silent. ua-cam.com/video/nN5q8i-kQj0/v-deo.html
El México 🇲🇽 ROBADO.
Nothing better than to sit under the trees in June (Our hottest month) and watch the wate in the ditches,,,
Yeah, anything to suggest cooler temperatures. Thanks for the comment.
Please make more historical videos. You have a nice style and you seem to know your history. Thanks, very nice.
Thanks so much for the kind comment. I have a whole list of sites for video ideas. Not sure which one is next.
Nice video, nice music. There is a good historical fiction book by Michael McGarrity called The Last Ranch, good read a about ranchers who went through that first test and how ranchers fought to keep their land. Your video gave me some visuals of the land. Thank you.
Thank you for the book tip and the comment. Glad you liked it.
Our old family home in Carrizozo was tested by scientists looking for plutonium on behalf of The Downwinders project.
And what did they find?
@@NMWanderings waiting for results.
@@jamesortiz5388 OK. I would be curious as to the results when they come in.
I had an interesting conversation yesterday with a guy whose family ranch was taken to create the test site. The McDonald's ranch house where part of the bomb was assembled was actually his uncles house. His own family was allowed to return in 1947, with cattle. There were four people present whose family had ranches in the area. They all had stories to tell.
All the land was taken!
Yes, by imminent domain. There is an abandoned ranch on the southern part of the range I have been too. Must have been tough to lose your home.
Why didn't you go and show the source of the water? Where does it end up? Speak up or get a lavaliere mic. Great little town.
I mentioned that it comes from a river north of town that attracted the original settlers. The water that flows is diverted by property owners and used to water landscaping, so it ends up soaking into the ground. I'm testing a couple of mics to improve the sound. Thanks for the comment.
nice relaxing video, wine cheese and crackers was a good choice!
Thank you 😋 It was fun despite the rain.
