Was chased by 4 dogs this morning. Cattle dog, husky, pit bull, and doberman. Had mace and knife out. They backed off

I'm sure you encountered four dogs who are familiar with mace and knives and know they can hurt them. That seems very likely.

It’s true that dogs aren’t afraid of your knife.

That’s a solid lineup.

Yep. Defending a fake horse rescue outfit that is really a hipcamp renting out yurts to LA city slickers without a permit. They came out the no gate and down the dirt road after me. Justifiable canineacide for sure. Maybe next time.

Time to get this thread back on track for page 30!

The Choco on the left is my last dog Blue and thats his crag posse Bear and Kirby watching intently while us humans grunt on some Bishop monzonite.
Terrifying bunch for sure.

When we hike around in the local scrub (or bramble-scramble...Cheers, DMT) papa brings the appropriate tool to clear brush and cleave open random aggressive animals as needed nawmean?

I let the kids handle the wild citrus we find with their own blades.

Pretty knife.

 I just carry a lame 2" lock blade.  In 20 years of backcountry outings across the lower 48 I've never needed anything more.

Let's keep the party going. To prevent fatalities and maulings, we as a society should exterminate all pitbulls, rottweilers, boxers, dobermans, wolf hounds, mastiffs, great danes, malinois, german shepherds, and any mixes involving these breeds. Existing dogs owned by an individual/family or not in a kennel will be 'grandfathered' in. But all in kennels, shelters, and pounds should be destroyed.

Noooooo!!!! Not the Great Danes too!!!!

My friend Luke in Tennessee made it, 8" blade in W2 with a clay hamon, beautiful ironwood handle.  I almost hate to chop anything with it, but I do because that's what a tool is for.  

You are welcome to try and cut brush with a 2" blade, and you can likely cut some, but I'd imagine my efficiency is higher nawmean?  You and David K. should chat lol.

They could be little models, but the hassle of that plus the message it sends them about their value based on fleeting looks are both awful.  It's bad enough all the people we run into in public that fawn over them, I'm constantly reminding my daughter (she gets the most attention) that her worth is inherent, and that we are proud of her for all the things she does, not how she happens to look.  I feel like we're doing a decent job balancing that out, but it's a constant battle.  I wonder if there's a knife-based solution for this problem?  I'll think on it.

Never had to cut brush.  

I’ve cut nearly everything else with it. Except for dogs and elk.

What a complete scumbag dog owner, usually scumbag dog owners like this only have chained/fenced up yard pigs that live in their own shit.  Maybe it was a first time walk, either way that dog is beyond rehabilitation and needs a Davidk. I'll guess the little pittie was going for the old mans throat and those were lucky defensive wounds he had.

Family left town and assumed I'll watch their dogs again. Six dogs have been left at the bottom of the local crag. Q'emiln. Have at 'em.
