Looks like you had a great time. You two have probably seen more of Norway than I have. Hope to see you again soon.

Should do the trick. Bring some flies to, like March Browns, Zulu Silvers and Red Tags. A rig with a flater in the end and 2-3 flies with 10-15 cm between them along the line is very effective on grayling and trout in the rivers.

And how would you extract the oil? Asking it to leave the tree in a non-energy-consuming manner? As far as i know the most common way to extract birch oil in larger quantities is by steam destilation. But no matter which method you use it will demand the use of energy. The part of the plant that...

Glad to see taht you have had a great time. Ida is still asking for "those who speak english", and I have shown the pictures you have posted. We wish you a merry christmass and a happy new year, and hopfully we will maybe see you again some time next year.

No problem Hamish. Theyr'e just lying around anyway. Guess you are covered then:-)

H i Hamish. Didn't see this post before now. What size are you? I do have a pair of almost unused (extreme) winter working boots laying around. I never use them, so if you are in the area you can have them for free. I think they are a size 44/45. With loose inner liner.

Well, I think pacboots and its like is for sitting still, either on a chair waiting for the spring to arrive, or on a snowmobile. When out in det woods or mountains in winter time I normally wear skiboots, or my Lundhags boots with proper wool socks.

Pretty common device 50 years ago. They were build and sold in a variety of designs and drive-options, but most commonly driven from the PTO on a tractor.

The samii word for arts and crafts are duodji. Google that, and you will find lots.

What he said. But remember that they are designed to fit outside the M77 Norwegian Army boots https://www.forsvarsbrukt.no/p-964-feltstvel-m77-ubrukt.aspx. They are pretty slim, and I would think a pair of size 9 valenki are a bit mor bulky and volumious than a size 9 Norwegian Army boots....

Looks like you had some fine days guys. Sorry I couldnt pay you a visit this time.

New(ish) M+S tires are good for driving back and forth to the grocery store. But they are close to useless on ice and hard packed snow, and they don't steer well in 15 cm of new snow either. I used to have M+S tires on my Pajero. Good enough for gravel and dirt, but not good winter tires at all...

As you are probably aware of, the main roads and most of the smaller roads in Norway are salted in absurdum. As long as the temperatures are between 0 an -15'C you have to expect to drive in salt slurry. They use salt in Sweden to, but not the absurde amounts as in Norway (300000 tonnes last...

Unfortunately I'm to busy with work and new born at the moment, so I haven't got the time to pay them a visit.

They sure do have some variable conditions. -4'C, clear sky and great northern lights last night. +2'C and pouring rain this morning.

Thanks for the kind words. Pleas feel free to e-mail me if you need some info or help regarding Norway. Time will show if Im actually able to stay away. I aim to use more time developing my blogg during the comming winter.

This will be my last post on this forum for a while. I spend way to much time on the internet, and follow way to many forums. I need to re-organize a bit, and cut down on the amount of forums, and use my time on real projects. BCUK is one of the forums I've decided to cut out for various...

Not long now gus. Unfortunately the weather is warm and very wet at the moment, with temps between 10 and 15 'C. And the leng term forecast looks like it can be a little bit of both. If you havent found it allready, heres the forecast for Frognerseteren the next 7-8 days...

My Lundhags boots. No doubt.

To be honset my winterprojects are more or less the same as last winter. I will continue re-building my kit, searching for good bits'n pieces. I have a shave horse and a saddlemakers wise on the go, hopefully I will get time to start to build those. And of course theres a few leather and birch...
