    How do you keep cool?

    It is starting to warm up a bit over here to. At least in the south eastern parts of the country. I've allways coped well with the heat, and after several years in boiling hot engine rooms in tropical waters 30+C isn't all that bad. The most imporatnt is of course to stay hydrated and protect...

    Horseburgers - what animals have you eaten?

    It tasted a bit monkeyish.... It was just lumps of meat in a kind of stew I was served in a hellhole on an island between Sumatra and Singapore. It could have been chicken or dog for all I know, but I was told it was some kind of monkey or ape. The stew was spicy but not very good. I had only a...

    What type of flint for fire making ?

    Any kind of flint is better than no flint, and any kind of rock with a high quarts content will work, but not as good as good flint. IMO the quality of the firesteel is more important than the quality of the flint, and last but not least the quality of your tinder. Good, dry chaga or good...
