    Can we talk about Pathfinders school/ David Canterbury.

    Tony, I agree with the sentiment. But I do have a problem with those who "inflate" their resume. And it's a practical one. I find that if a person has been dishonest in one area of their life, they are usually dishonest in others. It's a credibility issue that opens to question all...

    Firesteel search

    John, You should consider making one yourself. Here's a link to an article with instructions for how to make your own. You don't need fancy tools and it's fun. And even if your work isn't "professional quality," you get a great deal of satisfaction from carrying equipment you've made into...

    Hollow brass rod

    Soloman, I've been using brass rods to make lanyard holes for firesteels. In the US they are sold in different lengths and diameters specifically for hobbyists. I found mine cheapest at Grainger, a "small business supply store" chain. They described them as being "Seamless For Plumbing, HVAC...

    New Bushcraft Skills?

    My first goal for this year was to teach myself to make custom-handled firesteels. Over the past two months I've slowly been getting better at it. My first ones don't look as nice. Here's a picture of one of the early ones. It's made from spalted maple burl to match the handle of my...

    Weak Arches / Flat Feet

    I can't vouch for the science, but the exercises on this website worked for me. I performed them every morning when I got out of bed. https://www.marksdailyapple.com/flat-feet-treatment/ - Woodsorrel

    Portugese Man O War

    I encountered them often growing up on the East Coast of the United States. But I was never stung. I always considered their rainbow of colors very beautiful. Many years later, I spent some time in Hawaii as an adult. I was walking along the beach about 50' from the waterline. Lying in...

    forged scandi im working on

    Very nice! I've been collecting knives with handles made from species local to my area. For example, my most recent knife is handled with California Buckeye Burl. This "connects" the knives to the forests I roam most often. And I think it's kinda cool. :) Let us know what you choose...

    Dehydrating meals question

    My thought is that fats don't dehydrate well. I would bet that the oil goes rancid. I avoid dehydrating anything fatty, so I don't have a lot of experience with this. We'll see what others have to say. - Woodsorrel
