    Saurons Spork

    Well as sporks go there is one made of Unobtainium, the price is ridiculous but apparently it does work slightly better than the plastic one use disposable one. For several years I have used the Bundeswehr combination, heavy but looks to be made to open T72s.

    For the Savotta fans.

    Just some trivia: Savotta means a "logging site" and nowadays any slightly tedious work. ;)

    Forthcoming pebble launching device ban?

    Creole languages tend to be. I am still discussing with myself how inflammable and flammable seem to mean the same.

    Forthcoming pebble launching device ban?

    :tongue::nana::emoji_stuck_out_tongue: OOOPS, found these on a short notice, if not any one of them maybe all together ...

    Am I carrying too much gear.

    Slightly OT but related. How far from closest road can one get in England/Scotland/Wales? That does affect what redundancy or emergency equipment one needs. (In Lapland I can easily be 25 clicks from nearest road, I take that into account mostly.)

    In a car they are supposed to be furry hereabouts ... :D Nice work though.

    Sleeve pockets

    Well, if one has a heavy vest on, the upper arm pockets come quite handy.

    Things can always go to the worse.

    Swedish preparedness pamphlet

    With our recent drone incidents our system stayed mute, but the Holy Bureaucracy did not know what to do so they did nothing - the "safe" option - "I did not do anything wrong". It was also found out that it did not work like designed, well I guess better they did finally notice. Maybe we...

    Swedish preparedness pamphlet

    OK, then back to smoke signals I guess ... :)

    Swedish preparedness pamphlet

    One solution that I have not seen anyone state (I am sure someone has as it is so obvious) is to fall back to text messaging. Energy requirements are at least a decade less.

    Laguiole - what is it about them?

    Not having handled one are the original French ones well made?

    Titanium Hatchet?

    But mass is not the only thing, linear momentum is mass*velocity and there are both practical and as a guess theoretical limits why they are not totally interchangeable. A sharp flint axe probably beats a round stone in felling a tree.

    Titanium Hatchet?

    I have put in some thought. Not much but a bit. In a light mass (mass is constant but weight varies) splitting axe with equal head masses a Ti one might work better in cases. The reason being geometry, to be more exact, thickness. If side profiles and masses are equal then Ti one is thicker...

    Coping with the heat.

    That Tilley looks like a good solution, apparently available here only by net. I have had a very wide brimmed Columbia floppy for 30 years, works except in wind. Seemed to be the source of lots of fun in Dubai.

    Why a Swiss Army Knife.

    The one edible oil that is least likely to go rancid is coconut oil, it is almost totally saturated so it oxidizes very slowly.

    Coping with the heat.

    Well, the one apparent way is to practice in a sauna, in this case you might want an especially bad one as 35 C is not a real sauna temp. :D

    Best outdoor work clothes

    I have friends that think the same though lately apparently there have been some voices that tell him that maybe something less Spetznaz might be in order, just that you would not get mixed with the "wrong" side. I do like my Haglöffs trousers but I think the main reason is that they fit me...

    What did you buy today?

    That can't be used in large part of the world where C temp scale is in use. ;)

    Titanium Hatchet?

    As far as I understand about the same way as a somewhat soft steel. I remember sharpening ceramic knives with diamond wheels. That was a long time ago and I am not sure it works on all materials.
