I use a cold smoke generator. You will struggle to get cold smoke using the set up you’ve got. You’re better off barbecuing and adding smoke as a flavour with that set up. Usually the teepee style drying racks are done in the wind and dry air and the smoke keeps insects away as much as it adds...

Knife steel always seems to be a fad. There’s always a latest steel that outperforms the last! :singing:

Are you using the cold smoke generator? If you are then the dust must be bone dry for effective smouldering.

Mine is “sealed” in the sense that it’s got four walls and no chimney but I did put a hole in the floor to allow air in, as the smoke will still rise and you’ll get a layer of oxygen at the bottom. That was my theory anyway. :dunno:

It’s the speed that will be handy I think. Will cut out a lot of time for sure.

Thanks for the info! I thought about using ca glue when glueing up the liners on one of mine but didn’t think it would provide enough strength. I’ll give it a try next time I think.

@Stuart Mitchell Knives Are you using only the cyanoacrylate for scales and bolts? Does it offer a strong enough bond? Could you explain the advantages and disadvantages of using it vs epoxy in this context please? I’ve only ever used it in woodworking where I want a temporary or low...

My binoculars are vortex too. From the budget end of the spectrum but still an excellent optic.

Yep. Other than hand lining down a steep slope or similar but I’d still suggest an alternative route would be a safer option. A throw line wouldn’t be a bad call if you were super keen on taking something.

Most climbers struggle to get rid of old ropes. I have about 4 kicking about atm, if you were close by I would let you have a couple.

Pony heading south in the photo sheep heading north.

I like a good ramen. And these look like they might work as a MAJOR upgrade to a boil in the bag too!

Mushrooms are a great idea. They form a pellicle so quickly I can see how they would work.

Hi Dale. Check out my thread here about my smoker and how it’s set up. :-) https://bushcraftuk.com/community/threads/i%E2%80%99ve-started-smoking-again.167251/

I would put it inside an old pillowcase cable tied up or similar to avoid clips getting caught and then run it on a delicates cycle on cold in the washing machine with normal detergent or whatever you use. It should be okay provided it’s not too hot as that could remove the PU coating although...

Very much so. Making some absolutely fantastic knives too! Really top quality stuff.

I know that Josh, who used to frequent BCUK as siberianfury will be there. His business is called Avalon bushcraft. I hope I haven’t caused anyone ptsd by mentioning him! :-)

Ye does a stellar job indeed! Rather him than me. :encourage: :beerchug:

No disrespect intended Sam :-)

She seems to have come from nowhere and now seems to be collaborating with anyone and everyone. No idea if she’s kosher or not just an observation, I guess she must be pretty good at whatever it is she does.
