Roxon is a familiar name the other two not, I'll have a look.

I think I am looking for a smallish one with very basic functions, nothing like the LM I carry EDC.

The reason for burners.

For travel a simple but adequate, cheap enough. Does it exist?

No, no, no you sink it into nitric acid first then do something ...

Part of my problem seems to be the kind of aspens I have at that spot, they are crosses between European and North American ones, they grow very fast when young but tend to grow a few big weak branches that break off almost on their own. So they were not a big success. But they seem to be...

At the moment I am fighting aspen trying to totally cover about a hectar.

The original lamination is apparently often done with thermoplastic PUs, short AI search brought several alternatives to repairing delamination, I guess it is mostly a question of local availability.

Drinking horns apparently existed but what ones sees are wooden tankards or burl kuksas.

Read about horn spoons but never seen one - or maybe seen in a museum but not recognized it - as I understand they are formed by short soak in water and heating and pressing into shape. Do they retain their shape after eating hot soup? How long would one typically last? Here one sees a lot of...

That is something I have never studied but I know that the problem is retaining the porosity of Goretex, that means a special adhesive or just spots here and there.

In the same spirit: a university degree is somewhere between 5000-10000 terms, it shows a certain amount of learning ability - in the best case. :) I guess there is a little truth in all of those.

If I recall either Jordan or Syria had some units that wore kind of pink camo, not cat suits though, so there is still opportunity ... :)

I cut an area around the house to keep ticks away on the rest I just have cut paths.

Went through most of this thread again, what came to mind was "why not" and the only good answer to that seems to be "when not legal". When a blade is needed a sharp one is often the best answer. I carry one almost all the time though I must admit that LM might be used more often because of...

Apparently you have met a few specimens of a species that are never happy whatever ... :) People who oppose mods and are strict about camo generally have been in the supply side of an army.

The first fire pic catches the flames in a rare way. Nice pics all over.

Our lake shows some signs of shedding the ice cover but I can still see 4 km of unbroken cover in the other direction. Also some bird cherries seem to be alive 2 mm of green in the leaf buds showing. Very very few migrating birds have made the decision to cross the Baltic so far. Extremely...

Not a far fetched idea, we do know that 6000 years ago we had oak forests but that was some while ago and tree cover looks very different now. I guess I just have to make a trip to one of the forests and see what grows there, last time I was at one I did not really look down all that much.

At my latitude there are no oak woods, in the south western part of Finland there are a few oak forests but that's it. True that the oak seems to like it where it is but some undergrowth would be nice as it is close to the house, I doubt that raising the pH a bit would trouble the tree much as...
