    A Rethink of Green

    Bamboo is, at least, readily biodegradable, and has other benefits such as the rootstock continueing to produce more all the time. But the rayon fibres are often mixed with viscose or cotton.

    Ali express

    I had an item go missing, and I’d totally forgotten I’d ordered it. I only remembered when I got an email from Aliexpress to say they’d refunded my account. This happened with no prompt from me at all, it was a nice surprise.

    A Rethink of Green

    Monoculture grown cotton is pretty bad for the environment, conversely recycled and organically grown cotton is considered one of the most eco friendly natural fibres. The washing of the cotton does involve a lot of water though. Water is something we have a lot of, what we don’t have is a...

    Kephart Knife in Damascus

    That looks really good, sort of no nonsense knife that will do what you tell it to. I bet you’re chuffed with it.

    A Rethink of Green

    I’m terrible for buying stuff, but I do make sure it’s sound quality before I do. I bought a Keela Falkland in 2010 which cost a lot of money. And some Bates boots that weren’t cheap. I’m still using the Keela, I’ve sent it off to them for repairs and cuff replacement a couple of times, I shut a...

    Sharpening kit workshop

    Found that paddle strop on eBay. Pretty good for doing the grunt work. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404976649619

    Sharpening kit workshop

    A paddle strop might be a good alternative. I had a big diamond plate one and can’t seem to google up another one. It was great for kitchen knives, not too much of a polish, more a very fine toothy edge. Being able to use it like a file helps me with my angles rather than moving the knife over...

    Why a tarp?

    Ah, good stuff. I love the waxed canvas and old style tarp but a little lightweight like that and you can have a wind and rainproof shelter in a few minutes. I’ve got a DD one and split 100 feet of paracord into 4 with clips to attach wherever I needed them. You can also have a tent, this is s...

    Why a tarp?

    What’s it made from, I’m assuming it’s canvas? Even just used as an awning on the front of the tipi and you've got a dry cooking and sitting space.

    What did you buy today?

    Good haul, definitely ‘buy once, cry once’ purchases. I’ve got a couple of Civivi knives and was looking at Vosteed too, but there are enthusiasts about saying how nice the action is on them, and I agree, but that the action on a Petrified Fish is sublime. I’m going to find out if they're...

    Van conversion advice

    True this. My Ducato LWB van is still classed as light goods, and I was told by DVLA even if I put another window (the reason you see so many portholes on vans) I would never get it changed to campervan. Despite pilot chairs, table, sink/hob, loo/shower, gas cupboard, gas/electric boiler, fridge...
