I am so embarrassed I had to look that up. Ugh.
I'm surprised you've never heard of the Gerber MkII fighting knife before...
. . . or celery!

I vote you start with a skunk,My goal is to be able to get close enough to touch one with a hand.

Not familiar with the M-II Gerber.
Carry a ZT-301 and a ProTech TR-3 Swat
The original of a Gerber Mk II was a Vietnam-era classic!
I looked it up and yes, I have seen these before just not aware of the model.
I'll help you consume the strawberry surplus.
Last year in March, Park's Seed sent me an e-mail promo special. 25 Park's Whopper strawberry plants and two hanging grow bags for $17, shipped. (Been there, done that on grow bags. Immediately were discarded.)
I took this oportunity to move my three fledgling, deer pruned, 10 year old blueberry bushes into the electric fence and surround them with strawberry plants. I raked, gathered and pushed nine wheelbarrows of pine needles from a tree line 50 yards away for mulch/berry soil amendment. Last year was not a yield year for either berry, but the plants mostly took.
This year the blueberries are putting on new wood with a pretty large handful of berries on each bush. I've nibbled a few ripe blueberries, which is better than the last few years where the birds beat me to them. The jury is still out on whether a bird cover of some sort will be necessary. I do have a fake owl 20 yards away, not to mention scoped rifles sitting by the windows a measured 35 yards to the patch.
The real story is the strawberries. They started producing about three weeks ago. The first few pounds made a case of preserves. Didn't take too long to grow weary of stirring the preserves, so putting up turned to coring/slicing/vacuum freezing. 55# later the freezers are full, on top of giving away 20# to family and close friends.
What I'm so bewildered with is what seems like a crazy high yield for such a small investment? Granted, it has involved a pretty fair amount of labor. I kind of need that bit of a work out though, at least that's what I tell my poor back after an hour + of picking a day.
...Do you use anything for pH? (besides the pine needles)
