You don't need winter socks, tough it out like your daughter did at comrie, threw her wellies away and ran about in her wet socks - hardcore bushcraft lol.

I need to do a scandi sheath for my new knife.

A mate at home wants a stainless mushroom knife, so I'll need to get that forged at some point. - Though I've never done stainless so I might grind it.

I need to heat treat a huge great knife and handle it. then get a sheath made.
got two spoons which need finishing.
