You might be interested to listen to Simon Sinek, one of his talks about "leaders eat last" or something like that, about the ancient contract that allows leaders to have the best of things...in exchange for being the one to face off with the dinofelis at the door. A contract that modern...

We happen to know the chap who did the consultant design work for the Vivo jungle boot. I am hoping to see him this week (I have some kit to return to him!) and I will try to ask his thoughts. I was happy with my Salomon jungle boots when I visited him for a few days in the jungle in 2018. We...

This one on eBay has been relisted about four times at the same price ( about £50), no sale. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/237023723545 EBay still gets traffic and isn’t a bad place to sell. Most forums will charge to sell and for one item of this value it comes rather high. The general value...

Funny when life is so similar to art!

Well, I have to say that tops my experiments with dead crows in the freezer (found by dad), maggots in margarine tubs in the fridge (found by my grandfather, and severed squirrel tails drying in the oven, found by the gas inspector! Respect!:bigok:

So…why was there a green woodpecker skull in a shower gel bottle? Some of those stories seemed suspiciously specific!

Sounds like the making of a best selling memoir, al la Bill Bryson meets Gerald Durrell. :poke:

Sadly I already have an A9. Its got a hell of a throw on it! Took it on safari in Namibia in 2014 (or 13) and used it to check that our night time firewood gathering wasn't going to walk into something big or toothy! Was very handy.

A friend has recently given me a stack of OS maps he won’t be using anymore, and I in turn have looked at my own collection. Most of the “newer” maps are late 1990s to 2010s, some of the older ones are 1950s! Wondering whether there is value in maps which are that old? What do you consider...

Lose the shorts by all means in exchange for a kilt, but I am not sure folk are ready for you loosing the shorts.

Well, I try to avoid splitting twisty seasoned oak at all times…too much like.:banghead2: :biggrin2: There is the bushcraft conundrum, does it demonstrate more skill to use whatever wood is immediately to hand, or to recognise that what is at hand is unsuitable and to know where to get better...

Hi, I see where you are going. Different sort of transverse. What you are talking about above is related to rolling direction when the steel is made and how blades are oriented for cutting in the sheet. In your example above transverse direction is spine to edge, but in the earlier...

Hello again @jaspat3 , the knives you described sound cool. Not quite what I have drifted to, but close enough I think I would have enjoyed them too. :bigok:

The lateral distortions that you ascribe to 3V’s toughness are nothing to do with the steel or its toughness. First the ability to stay straight under load is stiffness, and it is related to the modulus of the metal, (annealed 3V has same modulus as hard 3V), and steels are all very similar...

Hey man….just seen this. Great to see you, even if only briefly.

I have one and can take some photos of mine to show features…will have to wait a couple of days though.

Mod note. I let the first reply slide, referencing US vs UK law, but then someone couldn’t resist replying. Now all three posts removed. No politics. No side-discussion in someone else’s sales thread. Thank you.
