Practically by accident I came across this idea. It was a piece of leather intended to be used as a dangler for a knife sheath but instead I decided to make it a firesteel holder. http://www.flickr.com/photos/86431823@N04/8629442286/in/photostream/...

For a long time I would see, once in a while, a pair of Jörn boots. Pretty much everywhere I've looked, I wasn't able to find a source for these boots. Now Lundhags is more & more on the commercial tour, these are a great alternative in terms of crafted scandinavian boots. Check...

As usual: no connection etc. Spotted this single brew cooker. Ex DDR army: http://www.militaerbestaende.de/product_info.php?language=en&products_id=4217

Probably posted before, I did a search but that didn't deliver. My question: I'm looking for canvas webbing, specifically the quality used on bags like those made by Barbour. Mil spec webbing is also an option. Any adresses i the UK? Thanks in advance

First time trying to post piccies, so be nice:) Having a Duluth pack poses one problem. It is a great pack but not really suitable for long walks. In trying to combine the pro's of the Duluth Northwoods and a regular frame pack I've come to the following solution using a swedish army LK70...

Follwing the thread about the Finnish Viha tent I stumbled upon Savotta rucksacks. Good ol' external frame packs, with alle the features for cold weather (e.g. no Fastex) and of a very practical nature. Anyone with experience using these packs? http://www.finn-savotta.fi/index.php?id=58

Probably nobody here, at least in Europe, will ever had a clear view of the skies without condensation trails. I'm enjoying every bit of it as I watch the sky as it used to be... It should be made a tradition! So how are you experiencing this little gift from Eyjafjällajökull?

I've searched the whole forum but I was not able to find a post that imo was posted on this forum. It was about the impossibility of long term solitary survival and based on the assumption that the only a group could organize tasks in such a way that the calories intake was greater than the...

Yesterday I bought new cell phone nd although I was planning to get the most simple one available, I've stumbled upon the Samsung B2100. Impressive specs: mil-std-810 (whatever!) compliance for dust/water resistance, rugged casing, built in (good) led torch. Anyone have experience wth this...

I was explaining my son what a CC mail was and how (and for what purpose)that kind of communication was generally used. Summarizing what I just told he said: Ah, just copy cr*p! I find this kind of innate wisdom worth mentioning & spread the word...

Following the Lowe heads up at Endicotts, I've spotted they have the Dutch wool blankets. I can reccomend these for serious use and amongst the things I have done with these blankets is the fabrication of a bush shirt including hood. The interesting thing about these blankets is that they seem...

Wednesday I saw a strange man on TV, exposing himself in the snow, wasting a reindeer leaving the carcass and large part of the meat along the road, jumping from a cliff onto a birch tree and wasting the tree too. Then he urinated on his ski's... What about 'leave no trace' and make some sense?

We sure must have some spare kit :rolleyes: : According to a report filed by Captain Bengt Nitz of the Amf 1 amphibious regiment, based in Hårsfjärden outside of Stockholm, the boots issued to the unit’s soldiers were of such poor quality that one commander considered ordering soldiers under...
