    What thread would you recommend Mred? Ive got various around but would like a dedicated thread that I can use when I eventually get round to putting Molle on an old issue bergan and the hole the awl makes looks quite big. I ordered a couple of awls the same as Bex is using.

    Projects or goals for 2022

    I would definitely get lost doing that. @henchy3rd have you tried duolingo? its free but does have ads later on, its good fun. I find it better on windows/computer than the phone app.
