    Compact emergency food supply.

    I've just bought a bunch for an event on Saturday. They do work well. Also found some from the same event last year, still in date - they store for a good length of time!

    Gluing Gortex

    I have no definite idea and just skimming past but I wonder if drysuit repair tape would work. My dry suit is not breathable but I know people who have breathable versions. I expect the tape is the same for both.

    Any idea what it is?

    That's cool. Do you crack them open or cut them?

    What did you buy today?

    Definitely makes sense. I would be hard pushed to decide between a standalone solar or a standalone battery array right now.

    Modifying Solo Pot

    I did the same some 25 years ago. I thought I had a unique idea - just shows! It’s a proper solid solution and I would do it again too.

    Bark River Knives (BRKT) out of business - Chinese blades marked Made in USA

    Huh - by chance I used my North Star last night. Definitely on the slimmer end for the handle and the lanyard loop long ground off. Mine was a first production run so a tapered tang which meant that loop was way too thin. I much prefer the handle on my Chris Claycomb custom. Just thought I...

    Sprouts & Micro Greens

    I've just been looking at what are suitable species to grow and eat. Sunflowers, apparently! I have thousands of saved sunflower seeds. I'm going to have to try that one!!

    I make my own energy balls. I go for discs as it's easier to just use a scone cutter and also makes me happier about storage of them in the freezer where balls are a waste of space.

    Bark River Knives (BRKT) out of business - Chinese blades marked Made in USA

    Tricky one, innit. My line is that I can forgive the workers on the production line. They blatantly knew but I think there's a different level of responsibility versus getting a wage. Of course Mike will take all the blame as it gives that pass to everyone else rather than all suffereing but...

    Oh blimey. I know they got some bad press on something similar years back. You would have thought that they would have learned from it.

    Sprouts & Micro Greens

    They're occasionally mentioned here. Who is growing them and what are you growing? What's your set-up? I was doing some seed sorting last night and think there might be some older seeds that I could trial it with...

    Recommend a YouTube Channel

    Well I just got a real punch to the gut. I popped to his channel to start look at converting a microwave transformer to a generator, knowing he had covered it. The reason he decided to stop making videos is that he decided to stop living.

    Board Game Suggestions.

    Oops, sorry. Thought I had put a link in! https://thesolomeeple.com/2019/11/12/the-mind/ Yes. We don't do any complicated rules of lives, etc though. Warm up with one card each with maybe up to 20 cards in the deck to make sure everyone understands. Then a couple of cards each. Then...
