Chicken ( +hens and cockerels) are omnivores. Best eggs ( and meat) if they can run around, eat bugs with a side dish of seeds and greens. Can you mix the fluffy under feathers and wool and felt it?

Good one! I did believe you! :)

Interested. Will look into it. I have a couple of blades I did decades ago, for experiments/ fun. Used old barely hoops, just like the Saame people did back in the days when they were poor. Hardened and tempered myself a few. The ones I kept were fully usable. Just had to sharpen them...

Many products bear the words Organic, Sustainable, Ecologically whatever. Ever seen Organic Wildcaught Sardines in Tomato sauce? In a very ’sustainable’ looking brown paper cardboard box ( metal tin inside) ? Load of BS. Marketing. One company of the wool insulation claim they source special...

I joked! Off topic, kind of: My priorities for a blade steel are: possible to get sharp with basic stones easy to get sharp ( not too hard) Soft enough not to chip easily, a kink/ bend is ok

Sharp? Why? You can use the popular battening technique! A couple of sharp raps, and the blunt knife separates the stick into small pieces with ease! :)

I have absolutely zero knowledge about the process, apart from watching, but the first I would investigate is if the insulation felt has been treated with something. Anti mould, anti insects, anti fire? Internet says the wool fibers are commonly held (=glued) together using polyester.

Hitachi Super Blue carbon steel. Sandviken carbon steel 12C27 SG2 powder steel All ( even the SG2 weirdly enough) are easy to sharpen and hold the edge well. The Sandviken steel is very forgiving when using unorthodox sharpening. Much depends on the hardening though. Edited for more info.

If you have a session cleaning and honing the whole collection at the same time, and struggle to find the correct sheaths , then you know you have a beginning of a problem!

One day I will build my own splitcane sea fishing rod. For deep sea fishing.

Son and me have Danielsson reels too! I like them, solid quality. Orvis rods though. I did not want to buy a rod from Sweden without handling it.

That is something I think I would not like, wasting precious time building thrn ’breaking down the raft. I assume it is a kit, assembled many times before. Yeah, I dug myself in a hole there. Thank Gods I did not mention hoovering.....:) I wonder if today’s young people that do all sorts of...

Woody Girl, you would do the raft building. I can not lift. If you go for it, I think you will have a heck of a time, as long as the weather is decent! Bring your fishing gear, get a permit, and your food is sorted! Small fish - soup. Medium fish - pan fry. Large fish - grill over a fire (...

If I was on a raft with you, I would do the cooking. I love cooking, and some people say I cook decent food. You could season it. :) There is not much more to do on a raft. Fish. Cook. Relax and snooze. Not much steering needed I believe. What does a person do for a Number Two?

You have other qualities. You can do the cooking. (just a suggestion :) ) I have followed this thread, and checked out the website, plus others. A very civilized, physically non taxing, way to enjoy the Swedish country side, and hopefully, wildlife! Better than a canoe trip for us aged...

I have not watch your vid ( will tonight) but just two questions: Are they reusable? Cost compared to the normal heat sealable vacuum bags? I use a lot of them. Reuse maybe 50%, once.

What are your grail puukkos?

Explain over a nice dinner. After a couple of wines. We men have to learn how to be more devious. ( a joke, I am NOT being sexist )

Not bushcraft related (kind of), but I just bought a Holy Grail. Found an excellent condition 1938 Zeiss 8x60 H bino, a 'Tall One', and got it for a ridiculously low price. Made for the German Armed Forces, fully marked, unmolested. One of 50 made. It can be used in nature of course. Watching...
