The axe when viewed closely from the top definitely has a meatier side (rhs in the below image) and a thinner side(lhs). It is probably in the region of 1/8inch difference, tapering down towards the bevel. Both bevels will be similar in length and from the side the bevels appear almost...

Wouldn't have taken much to cut a "round", bore a hole in middle and cut a v notch around the circumference to hold the line. Would not have been as smooth as plastic spool but programme allows you to make choices and that type of spool is quite common for holding 300m of line.

If you are looking for something simple to replace your locking Opinel for urban use or for more formal occasions, how about a Boker Plus Tech 1, scales in micarta, titanium, carbon depending on model and price from £30 to £70.

Some Toptools Jigsaw Blades for Laminate which fit my Multitool. Have a similar blade to the SAK saw (alternative teeth inner facing cut).

The difficulty is that the bottom of a coke can is not parabolic, merely spherical and as such does not have a sufficiently concentrated foci to generate the heat required, especially in our climate.

As noted above having a clear exit is paramount, whether doors or windows. One thing I don't understand (and never have) is that all commercial fire doors open out wards for ease of exit should a fire be taking place but all domestic external fire doors open inwards which makes it more...

They produced the standard military pattern smocks (in multiple camo patterns), their own SASS Smock, their Kit Karry Smock (upgraded storage), para smock, as well as soldier 95 pattern issue uniforms and would customise/make you basically anything you wanted based on the starting point of one...

Well they work, was up the side of Loch Ness, on mixed cloudy/sunny interval days. I attached them in parallel, with a pair of Y splitters and joined to a 3m MC4 to XT60 connector into the power station. Best in late morning result was a constant 197w (about 11ish) when had a short period of...

Unlike the earlier visions of Ötzi as a tribal chief or similar on some great journey, what is more likely is he was one of the local tribal hunters (i.e. common man), out for 2-5 days from the village on a hunt, possibly with others, and whom appears to have had a fatal altercation and then...

What you require for well provisioned camping is different than what you require for survival with very limited resources. For Alone, especially when dealing with stainless steel snare wire a multi tool makes sense, especially with 1 or 2 blades (straight and serrated), mini saw, scissors...

Sterilisation tabs bought bulk are inexpensive and much more convenient for use as we tend to filter only a few litres at a time and 100 tabs in packets weigh maybe 1oz at most. Last ones I bought were £5 for 200 tablets, or 2.5p per litre. As noted above bulk purchase of sterilisation powder...

SASS Smocks, made to order, in custom camo, specs and size were the pinnacle but we didn't realise how good we had it!

Have both Trailmaster (pre serrated blade) and Forester and they are comparable bar tools mentioned above. I also have the next one up the Victorinox Outrider which is my normal hunting edc SAK and has the extra layer containing scissors and has both corkscrew/philips screwdriver.

Finally pulled the plug on ordering 2x130w flexible panels for my Bluetti Elite 100 v2 as an upgrade to my existing Allpowers 60w foldable panel. Will get them out at the weekend and see what they can do.
