Ah no. I'm in Ireland, no Sainsbury near me. Unfortunate, just for the fish. Haha

I like most tinned fish. Practically lived on tinned tuna for a while, so don't particulay like it it or dislike it but it's food. The other stuff I like... Tesco has some interesting Mackerel flavours. They used to do one in Teriyaki sauce I liked, but haven't seen it in a while

They have the Classic King's Knife which is 12c27. But it's a pricey one. Pretty though.

I can't speak for PTSD, but fishing has always been my mental 'reset'. When I can't go I feel myself slipping mentally. A day at the lake by myself with some peace and quite seems to fix it for a while and gives my mind something to fixate and obsess over for a bit before and after. When I...

You know, that does sound like a good time. Can't remember the last time I went outside and just smashed something to pieces for no reason. @Pattree - This is the best thing I've read in a while. That's exactly the thing. Anything I need to do, can be done with a saw... but I guess saws aren't...

I'm in the middle of cleaning up an old Spearwell 4 1/2 lb axe which was lying on the floor outside when we moved in. Just got the rust off of it, lessened the mushrooming, and after much swearing, the old handle is out (I don't know why it had 5 of those little metal wedges in it instead of a...

Post some pics. Always nice to see them.

Ah brilliant. I'll have a look. Mine is actually in pocket right now. Really useful to have the three blades. Though when I go into a woody area I carry my Vic camper for the saw and awl. But around the house I still really like my stockman

What did you end up getting, if anything? Just a thought - I've been using the Tesco kitchen knives for about 6 years and am actually fond of them. The paring knife especially is really nice to use. I use them every day. They're 4116, cheap and hold an edge well enough plus easy to touch up...

Another thing I know in theory and have never actually tried. Must get out and try glue something together with resin

Puma does one. https://www.pumaknives.de/en/hunting-knives/hunting-pocket-knives/905/puma-sgb-warden-with-saw-jacaranda?srsltid=AfmBOopK3SquJKRXqabJ5QwCHuYQJjBy5mWHpSW-qwmsZOnEq569Cn-6#fa66f6993f8734f86ff497fa73e57045

I have a large stockman with the yellow plastic scales that I use as a general purpose knife around the house. I thought I'd try it out and get a nicer one if I liked the pattern. The different blade types are very useful. Now it's not perfect. The spring on the spey blade is a little weak...

Looks pretty cool. Is it a lumberjack?

@slowworm we're in Wexford now. Started out in Dublin, but been happier here the last year and a half. This morning I woke up to everything frozen... black ice on the pavement and a white garden. So nevermind the original post. I guess it's just been a bit later than the last few years. Haha

This is my 4th winter in Ireland, so not 100 percent sure if this winter is normal. The first 3 we had a lot of cold, some snow and a lot frost over December into January. This year has been very mild by comparison. Comparatively there have been maybe 3 mornings where we had frost so far and...

I don't actually bushcraft much. I spend most of my outdoor time walking or fishing. In both cases I like practicing carving primitive traps on down time. Most places where I am don't allow fires either. So I just practice that at home (read making a fire for the stove as difficult as possible)...

I have a key (one), a Victorinox Rally and an oLite i3E EOS. That's it and I use everything there. We share a car, so the car fob is with whoever has the car.
