    Yep, the ifak or expensive bits look good as a group buy. Mylar poncho instead of blanket? Just a thought.

    The old Britishblades forum

    I miss BB. Some of the knives I almost bid on spread through the pictures. Longstrider strops and smurf poo, which still seem to work like magic. Funny threads to make you smile. Younger days :)

    Sold Spyderco Pacific Salt.

    I've got one. I'd have had this, if I'd been a bit quicker. Steel is quite soft, but easy to resharpen. Great everyday knife, particularly with the yellow handle that makes it easy to find.

    Group Buy First Aid Kit

    Quikclot combat gauze is allegedly a little better than celox. I like the idea for the group buy, but by gum, this is going to be an expensive kit. Sam splint, maybe? Another problem might be that most of us have a first aid kit or 7, but still need bits, often the most expensive bits. I need...

    Magnifying glass and cramp ball

    The key is area of the lens, not focal power. Old fashioned overhead projectors used to have a lens a bit bigger than A4 paper, Nd that was a great way to light a piece of black sugar paper.

    Has anybody used a broadfork?

    Any suggestions where to get one in the UK? Something like a meadow creature or a treasure? Don't mind the cost, but the p&p is extortionate. My garden, and I use the term very loosely, has lots of rocks in clay. Normally if I want to plant something, a pickaxe and digging bar are involved. I...

    proofing nubuck boots

    I've bought a pair of meindl trento gtx boots. Thsese are great -the comfort fit fits me better than anything I've tried in years. The only problem I have is the nubuck finish. The goretex liner keeps them waterproof, but the leather soaks up water. This is a problem as I often walk in the...

    Get a wobble board. Quick glance on the internet, do some exercises. I normally do 20 circles in both directions. Take it easy to start with and build up. Certainly seemed to work for me. Darren

    Sharpening with Waterstones

    Different peoples stone are slightly differetly graded. I would recomend something like a powerfile to change grinds or remove any big chips. Then a quick go over with a 400 stone to set your angles and grinds. Then a 1000 -this is good enough for most uses. 4000 gives a very smooth edge...
