Hi, Go to your local engineers merchants and buy some Garryson Blocks. They are like flexible sanding blocks but are constructed entirely of abrasive and as such do not wear out quickly. Designed for the job they are excellent for removing rust. Tack

Hi, EOG is the company I refuse to deal with for reasons I will not specify. EE33 are indeed "linked" to Heinnie and have ordered several for me and will select the best one available. The axes will be delivered early next week and mine will be delivered the day after. Incidentally they...

Hi, I am looking for a Wetterlings felling axe. I know of only one online dealer in the UK and I will not deal with him. Does anyone know of an alternative reliable supplier either here or elsewhere in Europe? As ever all help gratefully received. Tack

Hi, Why did you not get Danners in Canada? Tack

Spamel, Now why didn't I see that! Top man. Tack

Hi, I have owned a Rifleman's Hawk for over ten years now. I'm about to order a Trail hawk from A Better World here in the UK but since they don't list the handle separately I assumed they don't keep them. How do you find the Rifleman's Hawk? Mine is OK but for general use in the woods I...

Hi, I'm asking this question on the BB site as well but to get the best possible range of ideas.... Does anyone know of a UK supplier for the replacement Cold Steel hawk handles? I'm not in a position to make one myself and I seem to remember they are really cheap. As ever all help gratefully...

Hi, I would firstly talk to the retailer who supplied the boots. Lundhags are a very reputable company and if there is a fault with the materials or the construction in the boot then I would suggest that they will replace them. Let us know how you get on. Tack

Hi, and thanks for the kind remarks. Nope, we can't wait, just got to receive the work permits, sell the house, ship our stuff, find somewhere to live and settle into new jobs. Easy really! Tack

Hi, Some of you may know that my Wife and I are emmigrating to Canada shortly. To prepare for this I have been acquiring new items of kit which otherwise would not be available there. One of these is a pair of Lundhags boots. I am familiar with Lundhags having owned a pair during a trip to...

Hi, I was in Western Canada about this time last year. The weather was cold and we had snow on two days in BC. So I would suggest extra warm clothing. Finally have friendly conversations with your bank manager and estate agent because you will be amazed at how much cheaper everything is...

Hi, Thanks for the response so far. I have a Collins Gem "Food For Free"; The "River Cottage Handbook Of Mushrooms"; Ray Mears' "Wild Food" and "The Wild Gourmets". I suspect my problems may stem from not knowing individual fungi when they are less than fully grown. That said I picked...

Hi, Despite now having at least three books which claim to be able to identify edible fungi fro poisonous, I still struggle to tell the different species apart. If anyone on this forum who is an "expert" on fungi, and who lives within spitting distance of the Black Country and is willing...

Hi, January in Norway is going to be rather chilly. When I was there in the late eighties I used Lundhags which were recommended by a mate. They were simply superb. You adjust the insulating effect with extra socks but the outside of the foot is rubber so they are waterproof. I haven't had a...

Hi, I've just ordered a pair of Lundhags Synchros from Tamarack and I must say I can't wait for them to arrive. Given the cost (£260) I'd be interested to see the price Woodlore sells them at should they decide to offer them... Tack

Hi, No, these were high leg hunting or military type boots with lots of padding around the ankle, they were black too which led me to think they were lundhags. Tack

Hi, I've just watched the re-run of Ray Mears' excellent Wild Food. This evening's episode was the one where he stalked a red deer in a highland game park. Does anyone know what the boots were he was wearing during the stalk? They looked remarkably like Lundhags Professionals to me, but I'm...

Hi, Mine are Danner Frontier Extreme's, They are 8 inches high, have 600g of thinsulate and are lined with GoreTex. They are also brown. As far as winter boots in general are concerned it is interesting that Lundhags take a different approach from most other manufacturers. They do not put...

Hi, I have used Danner boots for most of the last ten years and I cannot fault them for quality. That said my latest pair were made in China if that means anything to you. I now have two pairs of boots; the aforesaid Danners, a pair of Hanwag Bergell Top boots which are simply bulletproof...

Hi, My Wife was offered a Job in Kamloops, BC last March after a twelve month search. She is a specialist neonatal nurse and they are very much in demand. I don't want to depress you even more but if you think that the UK government are beurocratic, they've got nothing on the Canadians...
