    Spearhead.

    It´s bought from a webshop that sell all sorts of larping stuff. It´s steel judging by the weight, made by Windlass. My spear is not a throwing one, too heavy. About 2-2.5kg I would guessimate. https://irongatearmory.com/product/round-ended-butt-cap/

    Spearhead.

    Finished. Point where shaft joins the butt was rather mispleasing to the eye to I had to correct that.

    Been watching videos of folks building rough log cabins in the woods, calling it bushcraft

    Having more of the cabin under the ground than above I would say have to do with temperature = steady temperature. Cool in the summer and not much of walls to let heat out in the winter. As long as the roof is well insulated.

    My walking staffs.

    Yes made by me. Two on the left made from scratch = chose a suitable tree (fir tree), cut off branches and cut off the bark and let them dry about a year in the cool shed so they would dry slowly without cracking.

    Been watching videos of folks building rough log cabins in the woods, calling it bushcraft

    Is a psk really needed in the UK?

    Used it once this summer for a short while. Had to wait for the train on a platform without shade so I took the umbrella. Covered my upper torso but not the legs so I could really feel the difference, my upper body in the shade of umbrella was way cooler than my legs in the sun. And the wind...

    Spearhead.

    Just about finished. Spearbutt in place, spearhead in place. A couple of screws used to keep it not fallling off. What remains to do is to blacken the shaft with a blowtorch and then polish off the soot to keep hands clean when touching the shaft. There is a couple of mm wide gap between shaft...

    Meatloaf (food).

    On Hannibal Lecters, too, I think. On the note, here in Finland one can go to the opera and watch a man blow a fagott (bassoon in english)

    Meatloaf (food).

    Saw a video on youtube where a british man living in USA said he had never heard of meatloaf until moving to USA. Is it really so, you don´t make meatloaf in the UK? Here in Fennoscandia it is a common dish. Basicly same ingredients as in meatballs but in a different form. Meatloaf.

    Someone has been done for carry Zombie knives.

    Yep! Anyone living in UK should know better than carry something that even remotely resembles a knife, even if it is labled as a fidget.

    Farmer sprays cyclist wild camper.

    I would call it injury when clothes (and other personal items) are destroyed by stinking manure fluid. Bet that stink never can be washed out.

    Farmer sprays cyclist wild camper.

    What´s the difference? Stealth camping I know nothing about since we don´t need to camp stealthy here.
