What Spyderco is in your pocket today??

[Sumdumguy]

Let the games flow through you!

For me, it's a Kiwi and Cyber Sleuth!

Yes. Great game!

Heard great things about it. Planning to pick it up when it goes on sale during the holidays, I'm really into roguelikes. Got a few other games to wrap up first, like this one:



I'll be surprised if someone guesses it!

I'm going to make a Switch thread in off-topic since I've seen a couple of us now :)

Crawling around in some caves today... Pac Salt is a perfect knife to carry on such occasions...:)

Dang, you have caves too? How extensive are they?

You're gonna love the LC200N Pacific 2 since you like the Endura 4 so much. Its become my answer to the question - "if you could only have one folding spyderco, which would it be?"






I went on a lake side hike today with mine. Used the factory edge to slice up some apples for the kids, hacked down some small vines that grew over a neglected hiking trail, carved a rough spoon and cut up some cardboard. It cuts really well right out of the box. Very sharp with excellent geometry.

If we have CAVES?! Man, Vivi, don´t get me started on that one.. Or ask ANY European caver and they´ll look at you in disbelief when hearing that question

Salzburg (the state, not the city in this case) is really famous among cavers for its unbelievably many and also HUGE caves.
- We have the largest (known) ice cave in the world here (Eisriesenwelt, 42 km / 27 miles of length)
- We have a (non ice) cave that is over 60 km / 37 miles long and quite many that are over 10 km / 6.2 miles
- We long had the deepest (known) cave in the world (Lamprechtshoehle, 1,7 km / about 1 mile of of vertical distance) - but then they found even deeper ones in Georgia (Julia, do you read this? :) )
- Even pretty much all KNOWN caves are not fully discovered yet, they are still doing expeditions there and go deeper and deeper in
- It is estimated that just around 10 to 20 % of all caves are even FOUND yet, I know several cavers who spend all of their holidays beneath the earth in our mountains and find miles and miles of "underworld" no one has ever set foot on before
- There are many caves where it takes 5 or more DAYS to even reach the point where the already discovered areas END (and "new world" begings) (they have fixed bivouacs for overnighters in there) - I know a guy who went searching into a cave in mid December 2019 and came back into the light of day when it was 2020 already... :p (true story, the guy is called Georg Zagler, perhaps there can be found something about him in the internet-he does a lot of caving)
- An average guy like me (I am not really a caver) can discover new caves that are just a 15 minutes drive (and than some uphill hiking of course) away from my home
- I personally do like most REdiscovering smaller (so about up to 500 meters length), but beautiful caves (with ice lakes or ice figures in them) - I have some old books where those are listed, but often times they were discovered between 1900 and 1940, and sometimes no one knows anymore where they are exactly - so the search for the entrance itself is fun and exciting already. At the moment I am searching for the "Eishoehle der Saligen" (see pic below)

Here are some links for you:

- List of the longest and deepest caves in Salzburg (in German language): https://www.sn.at/wiki/H%C3%B6hlen#L.C3 ... _Salzburgs
- Here you can read about the "Riesendinghoehle" (in English): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riesending_cave
It is technically in Germany / Bavaria already, but extends into Salzburg too and I can get there in about a three hour hike. It became famous in Europe cause there was a huge rescue (it took more than ten days) for a caver who was hit by rockfall (I actually know this guy) see here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riesending_cave_rescue
- And here (in English): The largest ice cave in the world, a small part is open for the public and guided tours:

Vivi, when I say there can´t be a better place to live for a guy with my lifestyle, I have a ton of reasons for it - and I am pretty sure you´d love it here too! :)

Just lots of everything I love: Mountaineering,trail running, caving, climbing, mountainbiking, backcountry-/powder sking, lakes, white water, glaciers, rocks,but also pretty large woodlands if I feel a bit more "bushcrafty" - and all embedded in old culture, going back to the bronce ages, celts, romans, middle ages and so on, and from all of these times one can find secret places, artefacts and so on - and a new adventure each and every day! :)
And, though there are large stretches of wilderness in the mountains (though of course not like in the Alaska range I visited once or other similar remote places in the US), you can still find nice, old huts up there to stay or just have a beer or two and great, simple meals... :)
Perhaps you´ll make it here one day and I can show you around.

/ Though today no mountains for me, but a day in town... and I somehow just had to carry my REX 45 Manix again, seen here with the fortress of Salzburg in the background...
