Supposedly the aluminium/ dementia thing has been debunked, I would be more worried about non-stick finishes, having seen a documentary about it and how they lied to their female staff, who were having offspring with birth defects.

That had me chuckling right to the end, I wonder what his neighbours were thinking? Hilarious!

They are a great little shovel, so sturdy. I use mine in the garden. I did file an edge on one side, but regret it a bit now, as it’s not really up to much. I might try to get a new one. I do like how yours looks without the black paint on, I thought you’d charred the handle to get it dark like...

I love my cast iron and copper pans, got rid of most of my alumium ones ages ago, apart from my trusty Indian style pressure cooker (Prestige).

Interesting, ever since I watched Simon in the Woods’ video where he made a meal using one- the first time I’d seen it, I wanted one, it just looked really cool and steam punkish! I’ve just resisted because I have a perfectly servicable one, that is actually meant to be for curries, it has the...

Wouldn’t you use the same stuff you use on breathable coats?

I just checked, it's a Sofirn SC01, but sadly it’s no longer available.

Sofirn do an excellent little steel bodied keychain light, I’ve had various other makes, all anodised aluminium, and within 6 months they all looked battered and scratched. My steel Sofirn on the other hand, after a couple of years, still looks new, plus it’s a very powerful little thing...

Back to the drawing board then!:banghead:

To be quite honest, since doing them with a rasp and decanting into the vial, apart from burning them at the time, they’ve just sat in my pouch and I’ve never used them- just there for ‘in case’. Maybe I should check, the last time I got them out, they still looked shiny but….. Maybe a drop or...

Received it today, love it! The grain on the handle is beautiful and I’ve come round to the sheath. In the images here, you don’t see the nice swell that the extra bit of welt gives it, around where the handle is. I was thinking to try my hand at a Nordic style sheath, but after seeing it, I’m...

This is a link to a picture of one but not a great image. Not at home until Tuesday, but will take a better picture when I’m back. It’s just a perfect size for a couple of hook knives, couple of sloyyds, a Puukko or two, a leather thigh protector pad rolled up, and a mini Casstrom double sided...

I recently transferred them to another bag, they seemed bone dry as quite a bit of dust came off, I’ll try lighting them again and try that if they’re still not working.

Keep meaning to get one.

My favourite, a perfect size, I have another for my bicycle with a selection of tools in. Also have an, think, NVA ammo pouch with an assortment of spoon carving knives, strops and stones, it’s got a very handy little side pocket that has a Casstrom strop and a Fallkniven CC4 stone in it. Really...

I bought a rod of pure magnesium off eBay very cheaply as it was sold as lab supplies, not with the “bushcraft premium”. I’ve made a lot of scrapings of it stored in a little plastic stoppered vial which slots neatly in my fire kit pouch (NVA grenade pouch). I also collected a large of...

I’ve got the HS20, it is good for reading. My only gripe is, the headband is a tad too tight, although to be fair, my head is a size 61 or 62. I like the colour profile as well, it’s quite warm and easy on the eyes.

Lumens are only one side of the story, it depends on what you want it for, the beam profile, etc. The IF23 and the IF24 are excellent, I have both. At first, I was chasing a torch with the greatest lumens, but then discovered a whole world of differences and disappeared down the rabbit hole.

My favourite torch company, I have loads of them, probably way too many to be honest. If you follow their UK group on Facebook, you can get really them really cheap. From long range spot light types, Coke can floods ( which you can get a handle from another company, which increases its...
