Hi guys, what's the best treatment for a reindeer antler handle? I often hear you speaking of Danish oil, that, as far as I have understood is based on Tung oil, so I was thinking about the Behandla wood treatment oil of Ikea.. Do you think it's good also for antler? Thanks, Paolo

Hi all, anyone can suggest an online shop for a Barmah hat? I'm after a Barmah 1018-HC or 1018-CR, and I have found some good Aussie stores, but the custom taxes will be really high, so I hope to find something in Europe. Any suggestion? Thanks! Paolo

Hi, just in case you need a plastic buckle, a cord lock or end, a snap hook, or maybe a plastic emergency whistle, take a look at ITW Nexus. They have a lot of nice stuff, and, they send up to 15 items as free samples, enough for a small house project. E.G. these are nice for a paracord...

Hi guys, I have never used a hammock until now to sleep outdoors and now I want to try. :hammock: Anyway, since I don't know how much I will like this new way of camping, I don't want to spend too much money and I have restricted my choice between two models, the 2010 DD Travel hammock and the...

So tomorrow I will start a kayaking course... I have never touched a paddle so I decided to start with an expert. I see a lot of fun in the future, in the meantime, wish me good luck :) :canoe:

Where do you keep you edged friends when not carrying or using them? I keep them in a small wooden box with drawers that I bought from ikea, but my buying rate is far greater than the space available.. I also have the problem that my fixed blades are too great to fit in the small drawers...
