    open fires, fireboxes, hobo stoves and environmental responsibility?

    Conservationists sometimes forget that we humans are animals too, and we have a right to our fare share of nature and its resources.

    eBay bans sale of all knives....

    Is there an evaluation period? Will they compare knife crime stats before the shutdown and lets say one year after?

    Women and bushcraft example of why men are always wrong!....

    I always let her decide on her own packlist. And then secretly pack all the stuff she has forgotten or thought unnecessary in my own pack. After letting her suffer in the rain/cold for some time I will lovingly dig up her raincoat and hand it to her, while trying not to chuckle.

    Your best wildlife encounter

    This year in Norway on a solo week-long hiking trip near Narvik. The encounter lasted for about half an hour, then the reindeer finally decided it was time to go.

    Good thing it wasn't a rainy day then. Would have been quite a handful, confiscating hundreds of umbrellas.

    "Eat the Change" - a week of eating a bit funny ;-)

    In Holland there are various organisations that supply a choice of assorted fruit and veg, organically grown, local if possible. They chuck a weeks supply in a (paper)bag and we collect it every Friday at our local shop. And often it's cheaper than buying it all at the supermarket as well.

    2 weeks in the Amazon, Brasil

    Looks like you had a good time! Thanks for sharing. Nice to see how we all dress up as dictated by current outdoor standards (no offence intended) while the locals make do with slippers, shorts and tees.

    Knife Scratches

    And when at Halfords check for some wheel rim polish paste. This could do the trick. Be sure to check if it doesn't harm your steel though.

    How to get seperated from your backpack

    Off course my knife and some means to light a fire are always in my pockets and not in the pack. And when I leave camp for a short hike I always bring warm clothing and rain gear. Guess that'll do for most situations.
