    Norway Late Autumn

    It most likely belonged to someone, yes. The sat collar is just to "find" the dog when moose hunting (you will most likely hear it too), or at the end of the day. I belive most moose hunters in the South east of Norway use a "loose dog" when hunting. The dog tracks the moose, and startes to...

    Grub's Stalker Boots - an alternative to Muck Boots

    I still have my Grubs Extremes. This spring the sole of one of them loosened, but nothing that couldn`t be fixed with Aquasure. I`ve also used aquasure on several holes (from wire fences) earlier. I`m very pleased with the boots and will not hesitate to buy another pair. As the plastic begins to...

    Anyone for a scandinavian get-together?

    Great idea, but as Steffen said, a little too far away for me (at least this time of year) Could have been great fun though as I lived 7 years in Kristiansand/Vennesla as a child.

    How did pre-Roman tribes light fire?

    They probably used older methods (friction, pyrite and flint). In roman times (Norway) steel was expensive and rare. A "ildtein" (fire awl) and a belt stone (quartzite) was used to produce fire. An awl need little steel and is easy to produce. As mentioned by others the steel as we know it came...

    Summer solstice

    A little late answer. The way you celebrate depends on your age. The "elderly", like me, usually take the kids to a place with a large bonfire, lots of other people and char some hotdogs (or any other meat), eat "rømmegrøt" and maybe have a beer. The younger ones also like a large fire, but they...

    Marines sledge kit, convert skis to a sledge

    This was earlier a part of the army equipment called "Hjelpekjelke". They are sold for about 150 NOK (cheaper than E-bay) at "Forsvarsbrukt" I think. It`s main function was transport of wounded soldiers. A stretcher on skis.
