    Quicks classic hunter recurve bow

    :biggthump to what Chris said about the finishing of the arrows. If you PM me your email address I have a couple of pdf and word files with info on making spinetesters, that I can send you. I know that there are some books with drawings as well - for a good drawing you should try to look in The...

    Bergans of Norway

    Yep, The company is one of the oldest manufactures of outdoor equipment in Norway. Price is about the same as Norrøna products, and quality at least equal. Several of their products have earned top marks in most of the tests and reviews that have been done in the noggin outdoor magazines.

    Best price for an F&S British Army fighting knife.

    Yep, but in our language we don't really differentiate between the types of stiletto knives like that. When speaking about a stiletto it usually implies a fixed blade only - an automatic stiletto is just an auto no matter what bladestyle it has. It might be different in "customs legal language"...

    Scandi Packpal

    Yes on the spine / back of the blade, but not on the sides. Won't do any harm to the knife, but it will be a better sparkthrower :f:

    Bergans of Norway

    Bergans make som really good stuff, and I can recommend it as being at least of the same quality as Norrøna, another well known Norwegian manufacturer of outdoor clothing (I see that RM sell some Norrøna stuff on his website). Bergans also make the Ally canoes - my favorite canoe :biggthump

    Scandi Packpal

    I got an original and a scandi grind a couple of days ago (pic in the gallery), and they are excellent knives. Only thing that I will do is grind the spine more square on the scandi so that it will throw a better shower of sparks (I found it to be slightly rounded and the shower of sparks could...

    Winter Camping, what do you do after dark?

    When with others I usually will have a fire and talk, but sometimes we just sit down carving, planning next days route etc. When I am alone - like for 4 days at the end of next week :o): - I usually plan to cook supper just after dark (sunset is at approximately 16:30), and prepare the...

    I suppose so, but the customs officer I asked said that some stillettos are classified as flickknives :?: The FS is not one of them :?: Seems as if some things depend largely on how the individual customs officer interprets the law... The one thing that is certain though, is that any...

    Look upon HER

    I'm with Gary here. I just can't see the use of a mini hatchet like that when bushcrafting in the Scandinavian forests and mountainsides. The smallest hatchet / axe that I would consider carrying (and do so on a regular basis, as it seems to live in my backpack) is the GB Wildlife Hatchet, but...

    Norweigan army sleeping bag

    :o): Let's just hope that it will be just as good at even lower temps. Eleven more days and I am going to recce for good campsites, :mischief: I will try to find one that will be really cold, then we can test how those brits (or well, at least one of them :wave: ) cope with that :shock...

    Norweigan army sleeping bag

    Sorry Johan, I didn't mean to highjack your thread and turn it into a Fjellduken thread :roll: A lot of people who travel extensively in the mountains use them. They are also more or less standard issue in the army. And you are right : They are not cheap !! But they are still a superb piece...

    Best price for an F&S British Army fighting knife.

    Perfectly legal. Shouldn't be a problem, as long as you dont send butterfly knives, flickknives, stilletos etc. There have been talk about putting restrictions on large "Rambo knives" too, but there's nothing of that sort yet. Anything with a value of above 250 Norwegian Kroner (about £ 21)...
