I am always surprised, well, recently so, say the past five years, how affordably things can be repaired in those little corner shops. Don't know if its the same for you where you are, but here you can get things fixed without crying. Depends on the issue obviously. Water is catastrophic.

I think the Garberg represents a big step up in price, Erbswurst :) and once there, there are lots of other options like the Roselli Carpenter or the puukkos that Varusteleka have been selling for the past few years - lightweight, effective scandi grinds, in tougher steels which, when paired...

The Russell Green River camp knife is worth looking at. 20-ish dollars, soft-ish 1095 steel, 2.5mm

This short series on the boreal forest is worth a listen https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0014g9j

Thanks :)

Ha ha ... I never occurred to me that Nalgene might be busy in other corners of its wheelhouse at the moment :) Which Finnish stores Herman30? I saw Lamnia, but turns out they didn't have any after all.

Aye, I'll be in tweeds and shepherd's boots before too long. :)

:) Otter have some great stuff come out the past few years.

Yes, it is a pity about that, eh? I got a bunch of red and blue ones for the kids mainly, but never got round to picking up a green one for myself. Hope they start making them again. Can still get the red ones on Amazon, though.

The search for a good lambsfoot on a single blade knife is a long one, especially if you are looking for something like an early to mid-C20th style pin construction slipjoint. The problem is with those LionSteel ones is they just look awful. All over-buttoned and trying too hard to be liked in...

No idea if either of these will work, but maybe someone can tell if they will fit...

There's a video on YouTube of a man in Malaysia using an axe with a flexing handle. Needs a particular technique. I'll see if I can find it. EDIT: Here y'are

Coracles. Having a go in a Coracle. That's my aim. Mind, I doubt there's such a thing here, so may have to build the thing myself. :)

Sent you a PM just_john :)

Body armour :) Beskar is so difficult to get hold of nowadays

That's a great performance, there! I really like the bottom of the spoon. Got something both timeless and very modern about it. :) The way the stripes change direction from the handle to the bowl is lovely; let's you really meditate a bit on the making of it.

By luck rather than design, I have had the rare opportunity to see these things all in the same room at once. Usually they find themselves distributed in two or three places round the country. But, that aside, another reason for posting this pic is that Gene Ingram has given himself quite a...

Nice :) What's that cord called, JonathanD? Looks broad enough to be more more comfortable than paracord or static line

I like Grubs. Mine have lasted yonks, though the Vibram tread is smoothing out a bit now. You can wear them all day every day, no problem. The sole peels off occasionally as they are close fitting when they fit right and you have to get a toe in to get them off. But, a bit of Shoo Goo or...

Cucumber-flavoured crisps (I know, right) ... which I am forking down with a bottle of dark lager while re-watching Westworld An acquired taste, I think, but doable. :)
