In God's Creation we have inherited the Earth

I move about a bit, but I just got here, so at the moment I am quite happy in Calgary. Cold in the Winter, lovely in the Summer. Excellent skiing. If money was no object, I'd probably own a small plane and a moderately-sized modern palace in the boho centre of a large European city. Not much...

I'd say rethink Paramo too. I am a convert to the broader principles of fleece/softshell combos - though still got a rack of goretex and ventile - and Paramo is great. But I would add that Paramo jackets are warm (not the same as sweaty). The idea is that you don't take them off - lots of...

I have a battered, black half-litre Sigg ... like hipflask shaped. It's OK. What are the other ones like

The great thing about shammy is that you can just wash it in the ordinary manner. I'd handwash it in Woolite or similar, handwarm. Maybe a add bit of lanolin in the last rinse.

Hair on a mullet is mainly at the back, not the front

Bison! A couple of steaks and a pound of ground (which is probly going to be burgers). Simple w/grilled veg and a potato in one form or another Never tried Bison before ... which is, frankly, weird for here.

Really is :) I kind of use it for everything. Here's one to add to your treasure pile, Coach. Just saw it in Classifieds here https://bushcraftuk.com/community/threads/aaron-gough-custom-resolute-mkiii-outdoor-knife.161921/

Discovering that there seem to be a lot less geese on the eastern side of the Rockies

I owned one, then sold it. Then thought maybe I should give it another go. Still didn't like it. It has visual value, which is I guess why you're asking, I suppose. It's certainly why I got one. I found it heavy for its size and the blade action too soft for my taste. Also the frame's a bit too...

Regular scoobie owner. Get one. :) Some of the Outbacks have good big engines.

The No Plays of Japan by Arthur Waley

Take a look at SWRVE. Tough and comfy. Very good

It is so tricky. There are different regimes and they are so closely specified, case to case, that transgressions are frequently not worth pursuing legally. Thinking of the Skookum as crafted, as an art object, something that kind of aligns with principles of making that are valued in...

Germany is another and, admittedly, terrific country, Erbs; one with an entirely different attitude to work culture to that prevailing in the US, Canada or UK. I remember watching a video about a German pencil factory (it maybe you who posted it) and how management, operators, administrators...

Pickled fiddleheads ... now there's a thought. You'll definitely need to get them at the right time, before they get too chewy. Probably still best stir fried fresh with bacon fat, though.

Oh, that's a shame. It's conversations like this that have helped me form an opinion, which I didn't actually have before. I thought it was the same for you. Anyway, thanks for joining in to this point.

Not that any I make will last long around me, but right now the mountain ash berries are big and in abundance here this year, so it'll be in jars for them this week. Might add a bit of chilli for scoffing with crackers and cheese. Thanks for the thought BR. I remember Bob Flowerdew talking...

Ever spent any time on the Spyderco website, Coach? Companies make quality control requirements when licensing out products to manufacturers all the time ... probably every time. I am not sure I can support your argument here that the Skookum is Kochanski's and not Garcia's design. Certain in...

I can see (and maybe get why) at which point in this conversation the copying of the Skookum by others became a discussion about whether it is Garcia's or Kochanski's design. Do we seem to be edging towards accusing Garcia himself of exploiting Mors Kochanski's design? :) What it looked like at...
