Might seem expensive, but as they will last for a very long 5ime, surprisingly cheap. They can make them higher to, 50-60mm, but that will cost a bit extra. https://www.kero.se/sv/shop/1--skor/7--nabbskor Modell Blötnäbben is the traditional one.

I am as the Gods intended..... Less hair, added Beer belly, but still... Good idea with the spout, I will try it out in a few weeks time. Back when I was young, we just did not give a hoot about the tree, we did not know about the damage it caused. Ones we learned ( in Sweden) we started using...

I will try to find it. Interesting subject!

Interesting with the colouration and flavour! When I harvested birch sap, I made a three 'push' incisions with the knife, in a triangular mode, one tip of the triangle pointing down. maybe each side 5-10mm? A small fresh twig (birch) in a small hole in the bottom. I never bothered putting any...

Olmec civilization ended close to 1500 years before the European invasion. Have they found any Olmec rain proofs ? Latex sensitivity/allergy. We are exposed daily to various Latex products. Allergies to it are on the increase. Our immune system is not made for it. I wonder about the...

The Saame used the fat that is situated around the kidneys ( of reindeer) Different temperatures requires different formulations. You being in a hot climate - bees wax should be soft and not flake off. When you work with uncured, raw Latex ( of various sources) be careful so you do not get...

Is there any Archaeological evidence for that? ( they COULD have done it. Does not mean they DID.) Maybe that round object visible on the stone carvings was a human head? :) (I know they found round Latex spheres. Olmec? Mayan? Another question arises: Did those proto-footballers use as...

Did they not use oiled leather back in the old days? Then oil cloth. To wrap documents in, and they even survived being immersed in water. I think a first start could be using the commercial wax preparations ( type Barbour wax) then experimenting making your own. Good to establish a 'base...

I do not know about that. Coconut oil is used a lot here, and it goes rank fairly quickly. And smells really badly. The oil traditionally used (in Europe) was Walnut Oil for treating furniture. I never had Linseed Oil ( Flax Oil) go mouldy on me. I treat all our furniture, both outdoor...

Classic blade shape. Spanish made, but good quality for the price I have heard! Which handle wood did you buy?

Logo is the old Helco logo I think. Shape is correct. As it is cheap I think it would be worth taking the risk

As you know, dog’s food should not be salty, and commercial ‘human food’ broths seems to be quite salty. I make my own ( for us humans) and I make two varieties, one Dark and one Light. The dark one I roast well in oven, start boiling on stove top, then do in oven for hours and hours, usually...

I hope all of you are safe and warm. Nobody needs two storms this close to each other.

Sorry, sorry, missed that! I think the saw horse will move uncomfortable when sawing. Risk of slipping, and we all know how nasty a cut with a saw is! I like the top construction, will last forever! (Not editing my speelink mistake above:). )

Legal to spindly? Easily fixed if they are.

I was taught the same. Middle of the road, high revs. Not sure what would happen to the catalyst if submerged in water, plus water from inside too?

When you reach a certain age, you forget all that hard learned experience. That age the only suitable bush crafting left is to sit on a bench and feed the pidgeons and ducks. :)

I have had sco4pions lurking in my gardering shoes. It becomes second nature here to flip stuff before you use. Wife was unlucky, got stung by a scorpion last year in one of her fingers. Very, very painful, weeks of recovery. Hammock: If you put it up to high, the Unicorns might catch you with...

The nice ones were made for when they dressed up for special occasions like market and church visits, weddings and such. Working knives were much planer. Today most are made by artists, and very ornamental. One wood that in fact was never used was curly birch ( masur birch) as the only two...

We did a lot of cr@p like that. Once we ended up in a left wing newspaper, front page. Aaah, the teenage years! Today, I am just happy sitting under a mango tree, polishing bits of metal to my binoculars, or working with wood. With a cup of Decaf coffee..... @Kepis , I will copy that...
