    Rewaxing dewaxed canvas stuff

    I asked the same question a while ago and it developed into a bit of a saga. Was good fun though... https://bushcraftuk.com/community/index.php?threads/best-wax-for-a-canvas-pack.128953/

    Blackfeather Knives...

    There is a facebook page but I see someone on there is reporting how they haven't heard from him in a loong time. I'd make contact long before ordering anything! Sounds like he's struggling with demand but I could be doing him a disservice. The knives look good but I'd still be tempted to go...

    Hybrid cars - expensive to maintain?

    Honda have had one for sale in SoCal for some time now but issue is refuelling infrastructure for Hydrogen, generation cost/efficiency and physical distribution. The cars are certainly viable but yet again it comes down to how quickly and easily the manufacturers can maximize profit and...

    Hybrid cars - expensive to maintain?

    Mine is NiMH, not NiCd and it's a 2015, not sure what other marques are using, either way battery disposal/recycling will be an issue

    Hybrid cars - expensive to maintain?

    No question, car dealers can only exist on new car sales everything else is just annoying noise to them. You will seldom see a car over maybe 3 years on a main dealers forecourt and don't get me started on the conflict of interest that is PCPs.....!! It's in a dealers interest to get you to...

    Hybrid cars - expensive to maintain?

    Interesting question, not much data on it that I can find. There is a wee article here which suggests it is rare but I think they are talking more about faulty batt packs than old and worn... I am at my dealer on Friday, I'll ask him.

    Portable Coffee Grinders & Brewing Kits Etc.

    I got one of them nanopresso things for christmas, tried it once, gave a very nice expresso but tbh I prefer something with more volume (ie a bigger drink!) so in the cupboard it went! I flip between an aeropress and an MSR french press-in-a-mug thing when outdoors. Always take the aeropress...

    What is ‘Bushcraft’?

    Bushcraft is a massively broad spectrum with bushcraft aspects included in everything from Car camping to ultralite long distance hiking from bivying in debris shelters to building a log cabin. Some people don't call it bushcraft, they call it living, so we can add geo-political environment in...

    Hybrid cars - expensive to maintain?

    Sounds a good fit for a hybrid Scottish gov wants to dump diesel and petrol cars by 2032 (I think) I have a couple of friends who work in the power industry, they just laugh heads off when we talk about it. The power infratructure will need reworked from a lot of houses upwards... Imagine...

    Hybrid cars - expensive to maintain?

    Parts costs for the mechanical stuff don't seem to be any more expensive for a hybrid than for any other car of the same marque. In a toyota vs vauxhall fight the will always be more expensive due to volume etc. In saying that, from experience, the quality of parts is a bit better. My...
