    Problem with kuksa

    Thanks a lot. Probably I'll try only with these. The oily film of coffee could be of help and water is not a problem for stains. Vodka, too strong for me! I think I'll avoid it for avoiding the wood gets rancid

    Problem with kuksa

    Another update. The kuksa has no longer its layer of oil and if you leave liquids for quite a long (minutes) the wood becomes soaked and the external surface stains with the liquid. Any ideas? Just a little film of oil outside the kuksa to prevent it?

    Lighter for paracord

    Dear fellows, My lighter is definitely out and I'm thinking about buying a new one. Since I use it especially for paracord creations, I'd like to move to one which has a short, strong and straight flame. Have you any suggestion about that? thanks

    Problem with kuksa

    By tasting yes, it could be. Now I'm approaching the problem gently boililng the kuksa (at about 70°C). it takes A LOT MORE oil outside the kuksa

    Problem with kuksa

    Thanks to all. Just an update. I'm trying to rinse it with warm water and it seems to be effectivejust in terms of removing oil. It removes a lot more than before, but it owuld be soaked in the oil. I don't no which treatment was used, but the seller was on ebay for several years selling puuko...

    Problem with kuksa

    Dear Fellows, I've bought a kuksa several years ago. i used it seldom because everytime the wood releases an greasy patina, probably due to the oil used for the cup by the maker. I attempted several uses, but even with water it seems impossible to drink without a brothy aftertaste Any idea how...

Some days ago we are just chatting about diets and alimentary regimens and one of us highlights the chance that hunters in the past are the ones with the best diet, much more than primitive farmers. the facts beyond this theory are the better fitness due to...
