    Chilli Con Carne - any good recipes?

    I´m not. I´m talking about adding depth to the flavour in form of kechup. Ketchup is not only tomatoes and sugar, there is also spices, depending of the brand there can be a lot of spices. Even hellishly hot ketchup excist. And adding sugar does not take away the acidity of tomatoes, the acidity...

    Chilli Con Carne - any good recipes?

    I find the best spice is rasping the hoof of a unicorn. The powder you get gives the food a heavenly taste.

    Thermal Trousers Recommendations?

    Wintertime I use the british army softie trousers on top of my normal trousers. Toasty and warm enough to be bicycling in -20 C. Colder than that I add a pair of thick merino underpants.

    Chilli Con Carne - any good recipes?

    A big mistake many do when frying minced meat is they do not let it get brown enough. Remedy: #1. Take it out of fridge a couple of hours before cooking. #2. Preheat the pan, do NOT put the meat in a cold pan. #3. Once the meat is in the pan, do NOT touch it for at least 3 minutes, let it be...

    Tea

    Though not a teadrinker I have fond memories from mid-80´s. Our gang of friends, when hanging out on the town at weekends, usually ended the night at a friends house where his parents gave us tea and open top cheese sandwiches. I suppose the parents wanted to see us if we were allright and still...

    Is Die Hard really a Christmas film?

    I have no recollection about christmas having any significant part in those movies unlike Die Hard where Bruce comming to visit his ex for christmas. If the christmas part is too vague in the story then it is not a christmas movie.

    Show us your watches

    I think I must point out that this is not a genuine old Smiths. Smiths stopped making watches in late 70´s. In the 90´s Timefactor bought the right to the brand and bought swiss movements and started remaking Smiths. My watch was bought 2013.

    Who was the genius who conned us into believing we need a fixed blade knife for bushcraft?

    Well, this I do know; in the summertime reindeer spend their time up high in the fell and wintertime they go to the lower grounds where they have easier to find food. Snow crust up in the fells can be hard as ice.

    Bushcraft and homesteading skills in WW3

    If society comes to a point where people start poaching (hunting out of season year round) it won´t be very long until edible animals are hunted to extinction. Finland have some 200 000 registered hunters. After that sheep and cows start needing bodyguards or kept inside 24/7.
