...apparently: http://www.cutleryscience.com/forum/read.php?5,56,56 Would be interesting to see what stropping advocates have to say on this.

A friend asked for a camping mug so this is what he's getting for christmas (guess what his name is!), hope you like it. It's from birch root burl. The only complaint I have with it is the somewhat awkward shape to hold, but lesson learned. Thanks for looking.

I would have posted this in the 'woodcraft' section, but I couldn't find it. "Oils such as olive are non-drying and can leave a sticky surface and increase the growth of mould." I read this on a certain website and it got me wondering what people use themselves to finish their carved...

I have been after a Ventile smock for a while but haven't gotten around to buying one. Now, with the different climate in my new location (sometimes minus 20 in winter and continental weather means less rain) I feel Ventile to be an even less risky purchase as a main outer shell (don't have the...

Anyone had any luck with german moleskins? I've been considering a pair for a while since i heard they're comfortable, but the pockets look like they could be on the small side. Anyone worn a pair? cheers, Ian

I recently came across this..umm...idea i guess it is, not sure how proven it is, and nor are most it seems. It's all a bit controversial by the looks of things, and words like 'thermodynamics', and 'don't break the laws of', are being banded about with much heated debate :rant: , and some...

I am in the process of deciding on the set up of a new piece of cutlery, and i'm having trouble deciding on a firesteel holder. ideally i'd rather it didn't have the extra weight of one, and that the sheath was simple and elegant, but i'll be carrying a firesteel and will need some way of...

Wow, and Cool, are the words i think of :D http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4816520.stm if interested you can watch this video...rather pointless, but visually descriptive none the less!

If this has been done before ignore me. I know what the blurb says about both, and their technological 'differences', though they seem very similar, but i have no idea what the differences are in reality and practice. Has anyone used both of these systems? It seems to that the 'directional'...

I was talking to friends the other day about how the weather affects us, agriculture etc. one of us mentioned that farmers can get irate when weather predicitions are wrong (they worked at BBC Bristol Weather for experience, and they apparently get bombarded everyday by abusive phonecalls), and...

Toddy's thread reminded of the helle knife i aquired recently. Picked it up for a tenner at a local wartime type random surplas shop down some dark alley in bristol somewhere. I thought that price was pretty good, it's laminated, but thin and pretty flexible. It says: S.&S.HELLE, HOLMEDAL, NORGE...

I just had a thought (clunk clunk clunk!), about the use of a double layer of ventile in clothing, i may be going over old ground here, but if the reason two-layer ventile is not totally waterproof over longer periods is due to the absorbtion of water from the outside layer to the inside layer...

I am planning to buy a new sleeping bag (either a Nanok or Ajungilak). The Ajungilak Kompakt i can buy from a local camping shop, and the Nanok from either outdoorcode or john bull military clothing, online. I am worried though about how they are stored by the respective outlets. In camping...

Hi, i have read most of the threads on this nanok bag, and they've been both useful and enlightening, but i haven't seen any comments on the packed dimensions of the bag and was wondering if people had any info on the subject. i have read here...
