    heavy metals in water filtration

    I happen to be a chemist, and would be interested if you could use a chelating agent such as ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetic-acid (EDTA) to remove heavy metals such as lead and (not as sure about silver) from water before treating it as you would any dirty water.. Just a thought and probably not...

    Thread revival: been working really hard and might blow half my pay this week on a lovely new TBS lynx... I'm thinking going for the micarta and carbon steel combination.. What are your opinions on that combination? ;) All the best, Lewis

    Hand forged Firesteel kit's

    Received today... What a beautifully well made item! You can tell it's been made in a very traditional way! Just what I was looking for! I will be replacing the charcloth with amadou and some charred punk wood at some point tonight. Thanks again! Lewis

    Woodlore Gransfors Bruck Outdoors Axe

    Can I just ask what the advantages of the outdoors axe are vs the wilderness hatchet?? I've had my GB wilderness hatchet for years and I love it! The outdoors axe does look good though ;)

    Hunting with 'throwing sticks'! is it legal?

    I wouldn't go for the spikes.... They would make it a weapon in the eyes of any spectator beyond reasonable doubt and wouldn't really aid the functionality.. Throwing sticks are weapons of blunt trauma.. The harder you throw them and the more aerodynamic they are, the less velocity they...

    Broken firesteel :(

    Good info there Steve, thankyou! I was worried I was striking it too hard (which I couldn't have been as I use steel strikers a lot) :p Will gladly see the remains exhumed from the kit-cave and sent to anyone who wants to have a go at said forge-welding :) All the best, Lewis

    Hunting with 'throwing sticks'! is it legal?

    Throwing sticks don't necessarily have to be metal ended (I'd never heard of this)... At their simplest they are hard wood sticks about forearm length and just under or about wrist thick... If you were hypothetically caught 'hunting' rabbits with said stick in a field/forest I doubt anything...

    Broken firesteel :(

    Hi all, I recently received a lovely firesteel in a trade on here. It was beautifully made and threw consistent sparks: I spent about 15 minutes playing with it and: Although disappointed, I realised the larger section was still large enough to make sparks no problem albeit...

    Controversial way to signal.

    In light of this, having read it back I'm trying very hard not to laugh and wake everyone up... It's actually very sharp, dry and wondrously sarcastic ;) unfortunately my sarcasm receptors aren't as sharp at 00:44 in the morning ;) you've made my night! http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8RE5Q9vbdC0

    optimum one person natural shelter

    Sorry man of tanith I don't have any photos :/ Some interesting points made here, and I'm particularly curious about the benders you mentioned Mary.. However personally I would steer clear of the bender because I've never woven anything before in my life! Weaving a basket would be enough to...

    Controversial way to signal.

    Excuse me? Clearly you didn't understand my post. Perhaps you should read it again. I'm saying that it is improbable that you should find yourself in a situation where you could signal via laser but not by phone/radio; meaning if you don't have a working phone or radio for whatever reason your...
