Thank you. Sounds like somethong I can manage without screwing it up to bad. Got a couple of SAK;s that would benefit. Still a great rock,slag, meteorite or whatever. Steve

Interest rock, slag or meteorite. But is that a re-scaled SAK? Can I learn how to do that. It beats red plastic and Alox right out of the woods.

How many psychiatrists?.................One, but only if the lightbulb really wants to be changed. Without a doubt the funniest post ever!

Thanks gaz. Gonna try and order from here in Oklahoma.

I'm with Chris the Cat. The small one would be very welcome in my pocket. Are you considering making to order or a small production and offer. They look to be worth odering even with any hassles of sending to the US. Great Work.

Sounds like the question from an environmental philosophy class. "Which is more natural, a beaver making a dam, or a human building a skyscraper?" Both are doing what they know how to do. Each sees it in their own context. Neither is right. Neither is wrong. It's what they do.

Glad to see someone else has come to like smaller fixed blade knives. I have a Case model that is now 45 years old and I got it new, with a 2.5 inch upswept blade much like a "bird and trout" blade, that I don't carry anymore but still get out and clean and sharpen once and a while. I carry a...

Hello Bravo4. The alcohol advice works overhere also, about a liter. I use a catfood can stove and/or wood. For a really handy way to prepare food cheaply and only have to boil water for it, take a look at "trailcooking.com" and "freezerbagcooking.com." Used the approach several times, even made...

Beautiful.

I was INTP also. This quickie version of the MBT really doesn't do justice to any of us but it does indicate a trend. Several of you mentioned that you really have mixed traits, and the whole test with evaluation will give a grahphical/numerical explanation. We all have a dominant mode, but we...

Being out in the woods whether hiking, camping, fishing or what not, is a way for me to recharge and settle out after the daily mash. I like going to the woods by myself or with a group of likeminded friends. Even with friends however, some of the time I will spend alone. If the hobby gets...

Please note. Steven Andrews has chosen the correct color for his p**s bottle---or does it need washing. I carry a wide mouth bottle myself just for the same purpose. Put adhesive tape around it so I could "feel" that it was the correct bottle. Fun topic.

Thank you Mr Haller. The artwork added to the music of the title cut "Songs From the Woods" makes an already enchanting song to listen to a great song to watch. I will recommend this youtube site to my ever expanding group of eclectic friends. Thanks again. Steve

You are all right. Each for your own reason. But I have to cast my vote for "Songs From The Woods" --Jethro Tull. The cover art of Ian Anderson in period clothes with a boiling billy over a fire burned to coals, with a shotgun and brace of pheasant laying nearby captures a spirt that makes me...

Thanks to Dave the Pilgrim for his kind comments about Showell Styles. I am right now looking at a copy of his book "Backpacking A Comprehensive Guide" that I bought while in college in 1977. His simple approach, minimal kit, 3 day food plan and many other packing and hiking techniques were...

Hello Bigwolfey, At the risk of repeating myself. I may have mentioned this in a posting as part of another thread. There is an article I believe I was referenced here at BushcraftUK called "Survival and a Cup of Tea." The author uses the same approach to being "confused" as you suggest. I...

Hello to All, Great debate. Interesting question. Well thought out answers and comments. But in this one I have to agree with Shakespeare "Much Ado About Nothing." It was fun. Stevec038

Maybe that should be the poll question. I actually had to look. Still not sure I found all, and I remember having some that I couldn't find. Voted for the 11-20 range, but probably higher. Went through a phase about folders with wooden scales a few years ago and bought nearly everything I saw or...

Thanks for the replies and pictures. I think the guard will have to go. On to the sheath. Stevec038

After reading all the good things about the Mora knives, I bought one a few months back and asked you all what would be the best thing to do with it first. Most of you mentioned putting a patina of somekind on it to help prevent rust. Between that and use the color is coming along nicely. I want...
