    Phat Wood

    In the Scandinavian forests you will find lots of it :o): And it is not only good for making a firce fire. Old Norwegian logghouses and cabins were build using this wood. In the good old days the builders went to the forrest and cut off the top of select trees (as much as 10 years before the...

    Leather belt pouch

    :yikes: :naughty: ..... I better get busy then, as the one I have now is not something that i would be proud to show. Yep, the actual stitching will only take an hour or so depending on the size and type of stitching of cause. The wet forming is another story though. It will take a couple of...

    Brynje Military Underwear Sweden/Norway?

    Cotton is definitely not the way to co for underwear used in cold weather. Go for wool underwear ! The Brynje cotton mesh is ok for not so cold weather, but cotton is no good as soon as it gets wet or the weather is extremely cold. If you are going to use it for a wintertrip to the "Land of Nog"...

    Cultural influences

    To me it is the Swazi and Zulu people among whom I grew up. Also the tough bushcrafters of the Shangaan and the Matabele, in addition to two or three Tswana trackers that I have worked with. I have the deepest respect for the culture and superior bush skills of the !Kung and /Gwi bushmen of the...

    What stove ?

    That may depend on what type of fuel you fed them. I was sort of thinking about getting a new stove, when Martyn started this thread http://www.britishblades.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4553 on BB. That thread worked as a kick in me butt, and after checking it out, I bought a Nova and a new...

    Paganwolf's Cup

    I always seek out birch burls for any kuksa that I make, as they make the nicest and best looking kuksas of them all. You can of cause make them by splitting a log to carve from, but in my experience these are more likely to crack (although not necessarily, and burls can crack too!) than when...
