    My new toy: KA-BAR USMC

    Got myself a new toy to play with in the bush. :) It's not a bushcrafter per se, but I wanted to have one of these classics for ages. Other than the tip which needs some work, the blade and handle are in good condition. :D Can't wait to try it out!!! Thanks for looking!

    Kindle recomendations?

    I got one for my birthday a week ago and I am hooked! Absolutely amazing. Highly recommended. Just ordered a cover for it and tonight will try out calibre. Wasn't there a thread on bushcrafty PDFs? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Collected some pine knots

    Hi Dirac! The larger the diameter of the pine knot, the more chance of resin you got to have it present. Also, with decomposed trunks make sure it's actually a pine. ;) A hammer, axe poll or even large rock is better for this as a knife or saw IMHO, as even with punky wood the resin bits stay...

    Beards?

    PS: The thread really got me inspired again... The beard is back: 30 days in, and it's slowly looking like a bit more than a 5 o'clock shadow... Feels good!

    how long at home

    we would last about one and a half day. Though we have stoves and facilities to boil etc, we do not currently have provisions for this kind of event. Plus three kids under 5 (4, 2.5 and 1). We'd be pretty screwed.
