We get a lot of weird cloud formations in the mid-west US. Usually from severe weather moving in. Having lived here and on the Gulf Coast, I have seen both tornadoes and hurricanes. Do you have such severe weather your countries? And how often?For me,we have anywhere from 14 to 116 tornadoes a...

Klingspor is an abrasive dealers in the States. They have any kind of sandpaper you can imagine. www.klingspor.com And they have outlets in the UK

TomTom, I read the sticky on British Blades with the letter to the postal service arguing the definition of a particular knife. I had to stop and think what precipitated the move to limiting the knives that are available and what you can carry a knife. In the US the limiting factors for machine...

I was curious about your water stones. I use them in my wood working and they are fine, but they are much too fragile carry in the field. I also store my stones in a bucket of water or in a stone pond (a small water tight box with lid that keeps the stone submerged). The reason being is that...

Kath said it best. I don’t adhere to the survivalist mentality that the world will end. I do believe in being prepared like the boy scouts. I keep extra food and water on hand at all times. Not because of an invasion but because I have been without water and electric for two weeks on several...

I've had a couple of Swiss Army Knives. My current knife is a farmer model just like the Soldier model but with a lanyard ring and saw blade. I use the heck out of it. I believe one of my first knives was a SAK with a multitude of blades that my grandmother gave me as a gift. :cry: I don't...

I like the Tanto point knives. :biggthump I think the're kind of sexy. :naughty: I have a 6 inch bladed Taylor Seto tanto with a rubberized handle and brass screw on pommel that I traded a friend for and it has to be my favorite sheath knife to carry. :-) I have several tanto points knives...

I would like that. My daughter and son-in-law had two ferrets for pets. Quite the theives they were. They would hid your shoes and steal anything you set down they took a fancy to.

I had a large canvas tarp that would make your eyes water if it was in the cab of my truck for very long. The only way I got rid of the smell was to set it up in the yard and wash it with a hose. I then left it in the bright sun shine for a few days to air out. If the smell persists you could...

I hunt deer and turkey most years. Birds occassionally. I haven't trapped since I was a boy in High School. I shoot an occassional rabbit or squirrel (Sorry Squirrelboy) if I'm out for the day. I carry a .22 pistol for rabbits and squirrels, a 30/30 lever action or .357 magnum for deer and a 12...

My favorite right now is a SAK Farmer model I picked up in Switzerland. Has the alox handles and is similar to the Soldier model but includes a small saw. I have used the saw a couple times cutting small trigger pieces for spring snares and trim on a corner board when I didn't want to go get my...

I found this link. Hope it helps http://www.millersoap.com/castile.html#PineTar :wave:

I like it warm. Jungles are my favorite. I have lived in both extreme conditions and I do better in the hot humid areas. The coldest I have ever been was working the midnight shift in Kansas and it was -51. I couldn't feel anything. The weather advisory said to cover all exposed flesh or it...

Ts1spoc look at me in the mirror.

OK. I have read all the past post and I can appreciate your views. Your culture across the pond is evidently way different than ours. I have been around long enough to know that a persons views and opinions are the result of their life experiences. I am currently a Detective Sergeant in Kansas...

Yes, a world map would be cool!

I have looked around on the web at other sites and most are geared toward survival and impending doom so this comes a nice surprise. As a boy I practiced bushcraft but did not know it. I made wooden spoons and lean to shelters. I hunted and fished with what I carried. I ate what I caught and...
