    Personally, i'd stay away from goretex (or any other breathable layer). Another local farm supplies vote from me. You could also look at waterproof biking gear.

    For Sale ALAN WOOD WOODLORE / RAY MEARS / ONE OF A KIND / NEVER TAKEN OUTSIDE

    I have received and sent knives between the UK and the Netherlands without problems. In the EU customs list, there is an option for "woodworking tool". If you use that on the correct form, print it out and put that it on the package there should be no issue. Maybe you can use that for the USA?

    Upgrading a 3 Season tent to 4 Season?

    I always thought the outer shell of a 4 season tent drops down to a little over the ground to keep snow out and the outer shell of a 3 season stops just above the ground for ventilation.

    I was told orange is only used for gear because game like dear etc doesn't see that color. Not because it is the most visable color for people. So maybe pink is the new black :)

    Voltage drops under load

    Over here in the Netherlands you can ask the power company to install a 2 phase configuration in your house, the voltage goes up to 380v in that case. In your case you could regulate 2 phases/380v back to 250v in your house and have a more stable voltage.
