Traditions
Don’t depend on Rudolph! Light Santa’s way
with the Goal Zero Lighthouse 250 Lantern
I grew up on a State Park in North Carolina and
one of my fondest memories was picking wild persimmons with my family in the Fall. My mom would then fill
the house with wonderful
spiced aromas while baking
persimmon pudding.
I’ve
continued this tradition with
my boys here in Virginia. Each year after the
first frost we head out with
our buckets to pick persimmons from trees that we discovered at the edge or our Finn & Alex with their bounty
field a few years back. It’s a real adventure for
them, from watching the fruit ripen, picking them, and
then watching them bake in a bubbly pudding while filling our house with those great smells of the holidays. This Fall/Winter I hope you find your adventure
and maybe even make it a tradition! Happy trails ~ Kirk

Helle Knives
Reflecting the rugged beauty of their origins...Helle
Fabrikker is situated in Holmedal, Norway, a small
fjord-side village. This has
The Eggen
been the company's base
since brothers Sigmund and
Steinar Helle started the
business in 1932. The wild
mountainside and open sea
The Harding
are the inspiration for their
robust knives. Much has
changed since Steinar Helle
cycled over the mountains
to Oslo to sell knives, but in
one respect the employees
The Skala Folding
of the company stand firm:
uncompromising insistence
on quality. The knives are
made with triple laminated
steel that results in an alThe Viking
most unbreakable blade,
and just like your amazing outdoor experiences,
these knives were meant to last. Each knife undergoes 45 manual steps to produce a single knife, and
are meant to withstand the stress and strain that a
knife is subjected to outdoors. They are a wonderful
heirloom gift and are works of art. Their beauty, as
well as their functionality, will make them a present
that will always be held dear.
