This is from a Secret Santa equivalent at camp — I loved cataloguing the trees and my gifter knew that; it’s also beautiful.

R and I use Assassin Camp knife passing etiquette in the kitchen

or perhaps: an assassin
look. i went to assassin camp but i decided to go a different direction with my life.
shelomit replied to your post “speaking of sharpening knives, i have to attempt to sharpen my Wusthof...”
I figured they taught this kind of thing at Assassin Camp?
1) it's definitely not Assassin Camp.
2) I can get a razor edge on my little Opinel, but that cost $10 and my Wusthof chef's knife cost a lot more than that

hot take: tools used to be a lot simpler so a good workman could modify them to perform better, something that we now can't do, more often than not we don't know what makes or breaks these tools at all
this is true, though I did complain a lot about always being stuck with the dull plane when i was making my canoe paddle

I just figured that, since the continuation of the knowing what all the plants were called was knowing which ones were poisonous and which ones weren't, no one would believe me if i kept denying it

is that what they teach you at assassin camp
If I had been to assassin camp, which I would like to reiterate that I have not, I would have learned many useful skills but would still have to have a cover job.
@shelomit I meant to tell you about the version of One More River we sang at camp - it's impossible to find a specific one because there are so many, so I recorded it for you, ft. my mediocre voice & some of the truly terrible verses, like "said the ant to the antelope / 'who are you shovin''" for seven, which makes no sense.
