Hi. Can you personally edit the way in which the forum list order is presented? I would like to rearrange them to the order I most read them in. Most interested first, less as the list goes on. At the moment you get a pre selected order that is rigid and not moveable?

I like the look of the LM Arc. I can't decide between it or the Victorinox Swiss Tool X Plus Ratchet. I know it doesn't help you but the multi tool choices are bewildering.

I got Lars Fält Outdoors The Scandinavian Way Survival skills. It fits my experience levels. A lot for me to learn. I think I'll check out Mors Kochanski though.

@JonathanD how are you finding the knife a few years on?

What would be a clone of the Woodlore Knife Pro version?

Hi. Is this still for sale?

Yup I know how you feel. But legislation is suggesting with permission police can come into a private home, see a knife that does not meet criteria, reason it can be used for serious crime then confiscate it and issue punishment. It seems off to me.

Filled in. I hope this legislation does not go through in the current form. Ever nearing a nanny state. Police the issue more dilligintly and stringently with a strong punishment as a deterrent was my general tone. Infuriating that what would seem to be a city problem could impact wider society...

I think if I learned 6 knots that would cover me for most situations. What would be the 6 "goto' general knots? I think I would like to learn: 1. A knot that when pulled comes easily undone. 2. A knot that "runs" to vary tension. 3. A solid knot that just won't budge. 4. A knot that you see...
