I was going to start with a small tin of it and see how good it is at all of those attributes, I suppose.

I’ve read a few bits about beeswax of late and it seems pretty good for everything. Apparently it’s good for your skin (as a lip-balm especially), keeping knives and tools rust-free, bringing leather and wood to life, and even as a grease substitute for a squeaky hinge. Is all of this true...

Tiny alcohol wipes could be a great shout.

I like the idea of a little capsule. My rod is attached to a striker via a lanyard anyway, so I’ll just stick some tinder in a capsule and clip it on. Then I’ll wrap some gorilla tape around the rod and have tinder to catch a spark, plus some tape to extend that initial flame ready for smaller...

Hi, On all of the bushcraft/survival stuff I’ve seen, they always have a good chunk of gorilla tape wrapped around the handle of their ferro rod. I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong but I’ve never managed to get the tape to take a spark. What spark-taking tinder could I wrap...

Can you send some photos of any of these made from INFI, please mate?

What steel is the knife, please mate?

The mk1 is my favourite Rob Evans knife. Ideally I’d like a 3v or Magnacut one.

Can we have better pics of the Karesuando axe, and which steels are the Bark River, AA Forge, and Adventure Sworn, please mate?

What steel are they, please?

Irrelevant to the sale, but I’d like to say well done on the weight loss. Especially over Christmas. Great effort.

Hi, This has probably been asked before but I couldn’t see it in previous thread titles. I’m after a 0°C sleeping bag comfort rating (around that mark, anyway) that packs down as small as possible. Any help would be much appreciated.

I asked about a year ago and they estimated 2 years but also said it’s difficult to tell. I think there’s a couple of people ahead of me in the queue too.

Yeah, all fair points. We always have extra tins and food around the house, this veg idea just combines two ideas I’ve always likes the sound of; having my own little veg patch somewhere, and having a bonus supply of fresh fruit/veg if needed.

It technically belongs to a family member but they fenced it off years ago and never visit or tend to it. It’s a small, scrubby patch near a railway track and the only attention it gets is when grass cuttings get thrown at it over the fence. To get to the part the sun reaches means clambering...

Exactly the answers I was looking for, thanks everyone. Any more suggestions? It’d be good if there was a fairly varied span of harvest times, so there would be at least something available at any one time if needed.

Which fruits and berries would be best? And which soil should I go with if they’re being left unattended? Thanks for replying, by the way. I read my own question back and it sounded mental, even to me.

A brief bit of context; there’s a patch of woodland near me that nobody ever visits and the corners get good sunlight. I was considering turning a patch of soil over, chucking some nice loam/compost down, and growing some veg there as I don’t have the space. My thoughts are, it’d be there in...
