For short day trips I usually make the dough at home, and use a bit of yeast. On extended trips I like to mix all the dry engredients first, and then add water when I am going to bake the bread. All of the recipies already mentioned work quite well. When making the type of bread in that...

No restrictions on owning a bear skin in Norway (unless it's an icebear or something on the CITES list, in which case you have to have a CITES certificate - if the skin is new etc). But there may be some restrictions on importing a bear skin (required CITES certificates etc). Bowhunting is not...

Not at all, but it is not my story, it belongs to the !Kung. I have tried pump drills, but for drilling only. I read an article, on using it for making fire, in the Bulletin of Primitive Technology once, but I have never got down to try it myself. I have attached both stone and metal as drill...

There are several things that will affect spine on an arrow. If it is too stiff, you do not necessarily have to take off wood. Changing the weight of the point might help : heavy point will make the arrow behave as if the spine was less, lighter point will make the arrow stiffer. Same with...

The simple spinetester that I mentioned in my earlier post is made with two nails and a weight of lead (or any other weighty type of material). Commercial spinetesters are made with a 2 lb weight as standard, and most spine charts are calculated by using a 2 lb weight. The nails are hammered...
