Review: The Kalinga Skinning knife by Buck Knives

5/18/2017

Over the last several months I’ve published a few blade reviews, focusing mostly on practical use when you find yourself in the wilderness, but today, I thought it would be interesting to feature a knife that is different from the typical survival or tactical blade. This knife is called the Kalinga, by their maker, the famous Buck Knives. The Kalinga is fashionable, and sleek, but so unique looking with its thick curved blade and very fine handle – it almost looks like something you might find in the Smithsonian museums.

Why it’s so important to maintain a healthy balance when traveling

A few years back, I spent four months road tripping around the United States, basically living in my car for ten to fifteen hours a day as my buddy and I trekked through over thirty states. The worst part wasn’t the lengthy trips, but the affect they had on my body. Not only was my back screaming within the first few weeks of being glued to uncomfortable bucket seats, but my body was beginning to feel and react differently. Apparently, I had thrown off the balance of my system. Because not only had fast food done quite a toll on me, but I was beginning to not sleep right. And I couldn’t use the restroom easily as I could before. With these problems came on a negativity within my mood and my perspective suffered for being unhealthy and unfit during this trip.

As a writer on the move, there are a few items I always travel abroad with, like my laptop for instance; without it, I’d be lost. The same goes for a solid pair of headphones. Not only am I a huge music enthusiast, but I am also a mood writer. When the mood is right, the words flow like silky smooth water over a mossy brook. And when it’s not, I suffer as my words suffer. I’ve developed a ritual now that helps me refocus myself and assists when I’m feeling disjointed and unproductive.

Narrative: Finding peace in Nature by relaxing at water’s edge

Hills of green joined the moody gray and subtle blue of the sky mirroring in the still water of Lake Hope, creating a truly awe-inspiring scene before me. I drove deep into the forest before slowing to a stop. I decided to hike through to water’s edge. I slung a day pack over my shoulder and grabbed my beach chair with one hand. And as I trampled my way through the thick brush of spring, I realized there were no signs of other campers or hikers, or families stirring, only the sound of my footsteps, my breaths and my heart beating wild.

​There are many places around the world that are unique and interesting and should be on anybody’s bucket list. But there are those areas in the world where such places are crammed together and easily accessible from one central location.
