Just a side note: sadetikka translates as rain woodpecker, sadetakki translates as raincoat. :D

Here we often utilize the "high latitude method": yesterday it was 28C today 18C.

Slightly OT but not much: A polyamide fabric made from very fine fiber thread feels quite comfortable, it is usually made into sun clothing, it gets wet easily but dries fast. Nowhere near thorn proof. In years gone by one of it's marketing names was "Supplex". It really does not have the...

Just wait for the winter ... :D

Apparently we are not going to have SS tools in the near future.

:thumbsup: and very much so

Apparently I own a Ti spork, found it when looking for my larger Jääkäripuukko, found that too. Now I just have to get a good idea where to use them ...

As far as I know Laurin Metalli is also making Leka's knives. Memory slowly returns, it was the problem of stamping the blanks, Lauri's machines were hickupping with 4 mm thickness SS. I'll check what the situation is now.

They have been but if I remember correctly there were some production issues with it, have to ask when I'll visit the shop on Thursday.

Evaporative cooling works whether it is water or sweat and a fan helps a lot. Full body immersion in cool water should be the most effective way. A wet towel with a fan blowing can get a lot lower than ambient, I guess 10C is easily possible, it depends on the moisture content of the air. Of...

Ti spork works a lot better than the plastic one, I have seen a longer version somewhere. Mme Toddy's SS version probably beats most "outdoor" ones. I can kind of see the use for one after your explanation, my Trangia set tends to be wide and wider so no real need, come to think .........

Well as sporks go there is one made of Unobtainium, the price is ridiculous but apparently it does work slightly better than the plastic one use disposable one. For several years I have used the Bundeswehr combination, heavy but looks to be made to open T72s.

Just some trivia: Savotta means a "logging site" and nowadays any slightly tedious work. ;)

Creole languages tend to be. I am still discussing with myself how inflammable and flammable seem to mean the same.

:tongue::nana::emoji_stuck_out_tongue: OOOPS, found these on a short notice, if not any one of them maybe all together ...

Slightly OT but related. How far from closest road can one get in England/Scotland/Wales? That does affect what redundancy or emergency equipment one needs. (In Lapland I can easily be 25 clicks from nearest road, I take that into account mostly.)

In a car they are supposed to be furry hereabouts ... :D Nice work though.

Well, if one has a heavy vest on, the upper arm pockets come quite handy.

Things can always go to the worse.

With our recent drone incidents our system stayed mute, but the Holy Bureaucracy did not know what to do so they did nothing - the "safe" option - "I did not do anything wrong". It was also found out that it did not work like designed, well I guess better they did finally notice. Maybe we...
