How does that one taste? I have only tried birch sap. When the Americans invented large scale Maple sap tapping, I think they used something similar to what TLM did, but a longer 'tap'. Today the tech is different, much smaller taps. The Canucks I think have a larger tap sapping industry than...

When did they started naming storms? A bit naff to name weather . Floodings are awful. Kills lots and lots of animals.

Might seem expensive, but as they will last for a very long 5ime, surprisingly cheap. They can make them higher to, 50-60mm, but that will cost a bit extra. https://www.kero.se/sv/shop/1--skor/7--nabbskor Modell Blötnäbben is the traditional one.

I am as the Gods intended..... Less hair, added Beer belly, but still... Good idea with the spout, I will try it out in a few weeks time. Back when I was young, we just did not give a hoot about the tree, we did not know about the damage it caused. Ones we learned ( in Sweden) we started using...

I will try to find it. Interesting subject!

Interesting with the colouration and flavour! When I harvested birch sap, I made a three 'push' incisions with the knife, in a triangular mode, one tip of the triangle pointing down. maybe each side 5-10mm? A small fresh twig (birch) in a small hole in the bottom. I never bothered putting any...

Olmec civilization ended close to 1500 years before the European invasion. Have they found any Olmec rain proofs ? Latex sensitivity/allergy. We are exposed daily to various Latex products. Allergies to it are on the increase. Our immune system is not made for it. I wonder about the...

The Saame used the fat that is situated around the kidneys ( of reindeer) Different temperatures requires different formulations. You being in a hot climate - bees wax should be soft and not flake off. When you work with uncured, raw Latex ( of various sources) be careful so you do not get...

Is there any Archaeological evidence for that? ( they COULD have done it. Does not mean they DID.) Maybe that round object visible on the stone carvings was a human head? :) (I know they found round Latex spheres. Olmec? Mayan? Another question arises: Did those proto-footballers use as...

Did they not use oiled leather back in the old days? Then oil cloth. To wrap documents in, and they even survived being immersed in water. I think a first start could be using the commercial wax preparations ( type Barbour wax) then experimenting making your own. Good to establish a 'base...

I do not know about that. Coconut oil is used a lot here, and it goes rank fairly quickly. And smells really badly. The oil traditionally used (in Europe) was Walnut Oil for treating furniture. I never had Linseed Oil ( Flax Oil) go mouldy on me. I treat all our furniture, both outdoor...

Classic blade shape. Spanish made, but good quality for the price I have heard! Which handle wood did you buy?

Logo is the old Helco logo I think. Shape is correct. As it is cheap I think it would be worth taking the risk

As you know, dog’s food should not be salty, and commercial ‘human food’ broths seems to be quite salty. I make my own ( for us humans) and I make two varieties, one Dark and one Light. The dark one I roast well in oven, start boiling on stove top, then do in oven for hours and hours, usually...

I hope all of you are safe and warm. Nobody needs two storms this close to each other.

Sorry, sorry, missed that! I think the saw horse will move uncomfortable when sawing. Risk of slipping, and we all know how nasty a cut with a saw is! I like the top construction, will last forever! (Not editing my speelink mistake above:). )

Legal to spindly? Easily fixed if they are.

I was taught the same. Middle of the road, high revs. Not sure what would happen to the catalyst if submerged in water, plus water from inside too?

When you reach a certain age, you forget all that hard learned experience. That age the only suitable bush crafting left is to sit on a bench and feed the pidgeons and ducks. :)

I have had sco4pions lurking in my gardering shoes. It becomes second nature here to flip stuff before you use. Wife was unlucky, got stung by a scorpion last year in one of her fingers. Very, very painful, weeks of recovery. Hammock: If you put it up to high, the Unicorns might catch you with...
