This diagram was created by Stuart, one of the original moderators here (See Survival is all about a good cup of tea) It was created during a big get together of many of the greats of bushcraft in the US, trying to find how to define it without excluding any related group. Still the most...

Marathon 41mm Steel Navigator (quartz) Tritium illumination. Most recent. The rest. The Sinn in the foreground and the all stainless Seiko 5 Sports Land Shark at far right are the only automatics. The Sinn runs fast, but I like it a lot, the Seiko is insanely accurate, but it is a bit like...

I actually think this humorous scene captures some of the essence of this discussion. There was a time when I was more minimalistic than I now choose to be, I wanted to cook over a stick stove, or a self made Coke can stove. I didn't want a tent, just a tarp if I had to sleep on the ground...

Don’t worry, he was joking. And my previous post was not about TLM, but someone else.

Yeah, but your post was so funny that it was hard to resist replying in jest! Sadly, there are some here who cannot see that you had tongue firmly in cheek with that post. Joking. Not serious.

Bummer it’s so far from most of us. I got to it once, the Nuneaton one twice and the High Wycombe branch maybe three times. Still have their tool porn catalogue from 2015…and 2020….if I ever want to depress myself with evidence of inflation!

Yes, all purpose…which in UK we need a special reason to be carrying, so not an everyday carry user.

Exaggerating there a little? If not, and touching a knot with the tip makes the whole blade go dull might I suggest your knife might have a problem….or your wood is cursed with black magic. :biggrin2:

Bunch of posts removed because a couple of members need to put each other on ignore.

I have had a mortised Tufnol phenolic/cotton handle split through the laminate and leave some epoxied to the tang. I was trying to remove it with a chisel hammered into the glue line! Not much reason to think that an epoxy glass laminate could not be bonded with epoxy to be as strong as a...

It looks like @johnbaz has enough watches to stop counting and just measure the quantity by weight!

Welcome to the forum. Yes, there are quite a few magpies here, but others would have you know in no uncertain terms that they do not “collect”…they have merely accumulated! I count myself as a non-collector who has an accumulation. :rolleyes3: I am curious where you went for “conventions”...

I really hope they can turn themselves around!! Lots of stuff they sold I would not know where to find elsewhere.

I take slight exception to the implication that I post rumour. :rolleyes3::nana: Stating that they “are closing down” would be rumour. I am stating that it’s not looking good, that there is an application for an administrator. Administration doesn’t necessarily mean closing down for good. It...

*Edit: 1st November. Spoiler. Axminster is not closing, it is restructuring. See their Facebook page and post #23 * Just heard this evening that Axminster Tools, the company that many here have spent far too much money with, has applied for an Administrator. Their accounts don’t sound good...

Jeez! I was hoping that you had had better news, or at least more definitive news. I guess one can get an infection in lots of places, but usually folk have an idea of how the infection got where it did, and anything serious tends to produce noticeable symptoms. I hope it is something that...

Hmmm…one pre made fire lighter instead of carrying a fancy knife to make feather sticks, a fancy lighter or fire steel for ignition and maybe some fancy fat wood…naw. When I saw the title, I was expecting something more like this!

Hey @HillBill , any news or an update following the expected second x-ray ?

Mod hat on. Eight posts that should probably be removed. (31st, now removed) One or two were excellent, but all stemmed from a needlessly argumentative post whose author appeared irritated by the topic of discussion. It’s good advice not post while annoyed or tired. I don’t know how it works...
