https://bushcraftuk.com/community/threads/banned-dogs-thoughts.164153/page-14#post-2052540 I could not post here. Initially, I thought my post was too long but the server error was vague at best. Turns out, it doesn't like Smiley's. A more meaningful error message is needed. Also, is there...

I have been looking at the Peltonen Knives M95 Ranger Puukko or Terävä Jääkäripuukko 140/110 knives for a largely outdoor camping trip I have planned when the Rokka Korpisoturi was recommended to me. I am in the USA so, seeing these knives in person is unlikely. Shipped out of Europe, I can...

How do the stainless Hultafor Heavy Duty and carbon steel Hultafor OK1/OK4 compare to each other? I think the OK1 and OK4 differ just in their handles and I'm curious if anyone has a real preference or reason to prefer one over the other. And, how the stainless and carbon steel versions...

I can get a Brisa Kephart for ~$120USD from Lamnia so, that sent me down the rabbit hole looking at Casstrom options like the Lars Falt ($155USD) or Woodsman ($135USD). Then there is the No 10 series (~$120USD or so depending on handle material mainly) which offers 14C28N as a blade option to...

I have tried Alpaca and Cashmere socks and similar accessories off and on through the years with mixed results. Generally, I ended up settling on good quality "no itch" sheep wool with Icebreaker being a favorite brand for things like longjohns and vests. I am interested in Yak wool/"down"...

Trying to post in the "Flora and Fauna" forum but, all I get are "server errors". Is this an account privilege thing I overlooked? Tried using both Chrome and Firefox and I'm on a Windows machine. If I missed a forum problem area, please let me know! TIA, Sid

I live in rural East Texas and the high winds recently took down a huge number of trees and with it electricity. The town closest to me still doesn't have power a week later for all of its ~2K residents and the larger city I went to yesterday with ~82K residents is only partially powered...

I am wondering about getting a percolator for use at home and camping. The cheap Chinese/Walmart versions I have seen haven't really inspired confidence so, I'm wondering about something a bit nice and 'upscale' without being overly expensive. Who uses a percolator? Is your coffee good for...

I am curious about the Prandi axe with splitting wedge and Stubai Superspalter. How do these two compare to each other? Is the steel noticeably different in them? Does anyone have experience with either or both "in the field"? I would like to find one in a ~2lb/1Kg with a ~24"/600mm haft...

With supply chain and other COVID-induced problems, I see some changes in what various fixed blades are using for steel in their blades. Morakniv Garbergs use 14c28n which looks to be a good option and, Casstrom seems to have changed from K720 to Sleipner. In the USA, Magnacut seems to be the...

Picnic+ Cutlery Insert Set How do these work in real life? Are they a good utensil for camping and bushcrafty usage? Does the spoon work well for soups and is the fork large enough to be useful for normal meals? I am thinking of adding them to a Number 9 sized Opinel but, I am open and...

I live in the USA, Texas, so some of the EU sources are a 'no go' due to exorbitant shipping costs. Are Dutch Hooped Bivy available these days for a reasonable price? I want something subdued that is water tight and reasonable in cold weather, in my case around the Minnesota and the Canadian...

First, I have a Soto Windstopper IsoButane 'gas' stove so, I'm covered there. However, I really need a stove that will burn unleaded, kerosene, diesel, and similar liquid fuels, not just Coleman "white gas/naphtha". Charcoal and wood are not an option. I am thinking MSR Dragonfly initially but...

When camping, I like to fix beans for supper but I am starting to camp at modest altitudes where dry beans take many hours to cook even when pre-soaked for 12~24 hours. By modest altitudes, I'm talking about 3000~6000 feet (1,000~2,000m) not mountaineering altitudes! What is a good pressure...

I am wondering about Billy Pots and whether I should get one. And, if so, why one of them over something like a Titanium cup or pot. TIA, Sid

I'm looking for an underquilt to go with a Hammock. Or possibly the Snugpak Hammock Cocoon but, it looks like it is narrow. Onetigris information is pretty sparse so, I'm wondering what is the real difference between the Hideout and Night Protector (3-season version). With these I would...

I am looking at buying a Casström No.10 Swedish Forest knife in Scandi grind from Lamnia. Are there good reasons to get one blade steel over the other? Is Sleipner going to be a lot stronger on the edge than the Sandvik option? Will Sleipner be a lot more apt to rust? Will one edge be more...

I'm trying to find information on SF100 steel but, so far have only found relevant things in tools and stuff like bearings. Is this a good stainless knife steel? What is comparable to it? TIA, Sid

https://michaelmayknives.com/ Who has one or has used one of his knives? For 70~100£, he is priced pretty close to a lot of the Lambsfoot knives I see on the web from common sources. Heck, my J. Adams was ~$60USD at my door from a reseller that carries a lot of Sheffield knives. For a...

Been away a long time so, just checking in again. ;) Wandered away from the Bushcraft scene as my personal life go too busy with family commitments and other stuff. What else is there to say? Anyway, I'm back to looking for a Lambsfoot knife but my Googl'ing and looking at my normal forums...
