Sorry about that

Last year I had no luck at all, when it comes to the elk/moose hunt. Either the wrong animal or it took of in the wrong direction. For the first time since I started, I didn't get to shoot. Ah, well... So, along comes 2020. What could go wrong, really... Well, from a hunting perspective it...

It's been a while, to say the least, since I've been visiting BCUK so I thought I'd bring something to the table. Here are some pics from the now annual grouse hunt with my cousin. We tried our luck outside of Jokkmokk. We had all types of weather, more or less....no snow though, even if it...

Not particularly bushcrafty this, but the hunt for moose is afoot here. 14 guys (elderly men, really) and two Norwegian Elkhounds hunting for 6 adult moose (plural form?) and 6 calves, over the next couple of weekends. My part is sitting, mainly...ever vigilant :) At present I'm on top of an...

I came across the Avenger by Arktis Outdoor (they even have one in the M90 pattern, but I have worn M90 enough) Anyone tried it and could share some experiences? http://www.arktisoutdoor.co.uk/mens-jackets-and-coats/b315-avenger-coat Greger

Picking berries is, to me, a mixed bag. Blueberrys (in larger amounts) is a no-go...Lingonberries on the other hand, is rather fun to pick. You get large amounts in a hurry, in a normal year. This year, one of my 8-year-olds came along...and to my astonishment picked 'em as fast as I Cleaning...

Me and a friend went for a hike i Sarek two weeks ago. Unfortunately, we did not see much of Sarek. Perhaps, I jinxed it? We got up to STF Ritsem late tuesday night, in order to catch the first boat over Akkajaure. The store/reception wasn't open when we needed to set out, the following morning...

Perhaps old news....The Swedish mapping, cadastral and land registration authority offers a map service which allows you to print your own maps - Terrain maps and orthophoto: https://kso.etjanster.lantmateriet.se/# I prefer to buy a printed map, but it is quite usefull for planning a trip Greger

I tried my hand at making full tang knives for a change. The shaping is much fun, the sanding...not so much. This was to be a trial run. Not quick and dirty, but in that vicinity. They are made out of UHB20C/1095 (I had my neighbour heat treat them) Handles are reindeer and what I beleive is...

Hi! I would like to trade a multifuel Optimus (pre-Katadyn) Nova+ for an oldie. To be more precise: Optimus 99. An Optimus 8R or Optimus 111 might also work. A SIGG Tourist will work. If you have a Optimus 199, you might be able to talk me into it ;) I love to fettle oldies back to life, so I...

"How would you feel about taking the kids to Katterjokk?" my wife asked me just last week. The company she works for has a cabin, of sorts, there. (9 rooms w bunk beds, a kitchen w 4 stoves etc). Function over comfort, but it is the bees knees in my eyes. THe plan was to take the kids for a...

Figure skating isn't really my cup of tea (more of a hockey-guy), but this isn't half bad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=CEE93ppZQ1I

Hi folks Is it allowed for me to send a fixed blade knife - Hultafors craftsman's knife - to an UK Citizen? From what I have read at the UK customs page, this seems to be ok. Am I right? Cheers, Greger

The wife left us to our own devices....so we headed out pretty much immediately...through the back yard and beyond. The indoctrination can never stop.. Also, the 8r needs some excercise.... ...and yes...we're pretty gangsta..hahah EDIT: They tend to get that way when drinking O'Boy...

The last weekend of August me and my wife went for a hike. Here is a few words about it. It all started with a discussion over a glass of wine, where we discussed what to do for next years vacation. We soon agreed to enter the Fjallraven Classic (when we later tried to register at the FR...

I am looking for a restoration object. My wishlist: Any 111, but I would love to get my hands on a multifuel version. I would also like them to be complete. But...Any and all objects are considered....so if you got a kero with some pary missing - let me know. Greger

I have prepared many a meal on my trangia. But never bread...so I thought I give it a go. 2 dl wheat flour 1 dl rye flour 1,5 tablespoons of salt 1,5 dl water 6 grams dry yeast Some flour for baking it. I made them roughly 1 cm thick and pierced them with a fork to avoid any baloon effect...

In the hunt for something to read, I came across a book about dehydrating food...One thing lead to another and once more I got myself a project of limited practical use...A food dehydrator. After reading the book I now know that most of the magic when dehydrating food is in how you treat the...
