    Brain Training

    No but we have talked baout it. It's not one we've played for a while but my son likes to use the beetle to drop on a gap at the end. The add on piece of the pillbug (woodlouse) could be good to counter that.

    Compact emergency food supply.

    I've just bought a bunch for an event on Saturday. They do work well. Also found some from the same event last year, still in date - they store for a good length of time!

    Modifying Solo Pot

    Huh - by chance I used my North Star last night. Definitely on the slimmer end for the handle and the lanyard loop long ground off. Mine was a first production run so a tapered tang which meant that loop was way too thin. I much prefer the handle on my Chris Claycomb custom. Just thought I...
