Thank you. I shall do some reading.

I got some Hestra gloves last year and love them. 'The quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten'.

Has anyone used one of these sharpeners and have any feedback on it? Or have other recommendations for something similar? To my eternal shame I am only just passable at freehand sharpening and would like something that is quick, effective, repeatable and requires minimal talent or practice to...

One thing missed from your review is Country of origin. For some people this doesn't matter, while for others it will matter too much. Me, I care a fair bit so am always prepared to pay more for a USA made knife. YMMV of course. ;-)

I have the Helinox of which this is a copy. Good chairs as long as the ground is hard enough so the legs don't sink in. Various solutions available if you find you need one.

Possibly a little out of left field, and definitely very expensive, but fits the robust, midge-net and waterproof aspects. https://heinnie.com/carinthia-observer-plus

That looks great! I love a Kephart. Would be nice to see some more pics if possible.

If you posted in the Wanted forum maybe someone might have something of interest!

I suspect that a lot of paths and byways are only passable because of the 'unscheduled activities' of community minded users.

My understanding of the term EDC is that it comes from the preppers world. Preppers, being the type of people they are, have a tendency to carry things to cover every eventuality, including alien invasion and societal breakdown. This is why the EDC lists tend to include many pocketed back-packs...

This is the key point. It is the reason why I find the endless discussion about what is legal carry, blade length, etc, etc somewhat strange. If you don't bring yourself to the attention of the Police then they will not know, nor care about what you are carrying.

How do you lift it up without burning your hand? Similar to the video but a bit different. I have always had the handle to the other side from the spout, and once I'm ready to take the kettle off the burner I take off the whistle holding it by the bakelite style knob, and then using the chain...

I've got 2 Ghillies. A big one and a wee one. Use the wee one the most as I'm solo most of the time, but I like them both. Sometimes wish I had a stainless steel storm kettle (whatever the brand) but so far haven't noticed any issues with the aluminium ones. I like the whistle on the Ghillies so...

No doubt metrification helped!

Glad it wasn't just my dad then!

I always carry a hankie, but never clean my glasses with it. My dad used to carry 2, one in each pocket. One for glasses, one for nose and other duties. Don't know if I'm being dim, but not sure I understand why you would switch to paper tissues when you have a cold. Surely by that stage you...

Got it from Natural Man. Here Sold out already on the Casström site.

Yes, #1 is a watch case opener. I have a Renata batteries branded Victorinox one with alloy scales. https://www.sakwiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=Watch+Case+Opener+Victorinox The Classic SD's look like toys, but they are surprisingly handy. A really useful little tool that is so innocuous looking...

One of these. Casström No.10 Swedish Forest Knife limited edition. Bog oak handle scales and A8Mod steel. It is a lovely thing and nice to finally add a scandi grind knife to my arsenal. Looking forward to testing it out soon.
