Depressingly it was using the same axe and on the same hand as a similar cut two years ago... Even had the same number of stitches.

Learned how to skin a moose the other day with a group of kind Norwegian hunters was great fun. Now learning to tan the hides so I can make some nice leather goods

I bet that was quite an experience; they are a bit big them mooses I hear.

I learned that you can use Cyalumes chemlights to for fire starting the liquid does burn The bloke used cotton wool with it on and also sprinkled it glowingly around the fireplace
.Probably an emergency measure rather than a preferred method lol

I learned how big a cord of wood is.

128 cubic feet in case you also didn't know. It seems to be a standard size of 4' x 4' x 8'.

Yep - just shy of 4 cubic metres. It looks a lot, but it isn't when you heat and cook with wood all the time - you can think of a cord as one cubic foot of wood a day from October to March

Today I learned that one hazel stand I have my eye on (a couple or three good knob sticks coming on nicely in there) has an other interested party, visiting. Found some recent off cuts all sawn neatly :naughty: I wonder who it is?
