    How do people go about pricing things they make and sell, leather wise?

    A lot of things said here. But i miss a few points. I do read also a feeling that 'the public' does not understand. But what actually they don't understand? That people spend hours and hours making a knife protection thingy? A spoon, bottle from an other material than metal or glass a bow to...

    Trangia vs pop can stoves: Ultralight weight alternative?

    Sure. The ti-tri caldera including the tibatan 900 ml pot and alcohol and esbit holder was a special offer from racelite.de for 125,- euro and 10,- for sending it. The spoon 7,- euro the foldingcup 1,50 euro, the pot lid I made from a aluminium party tray, and a short piece of bicycle spoke...

    Light weight kit

    I agree and disagree with a lot of things said here and i took the lightweight road some years ago. And indeed you can spend a lot of money. But there are some rules made which are pretty logic. What will you be doing, how long and in which weather conditions? Aka what do you expect your gear to...

    light fireproof material

    You coud check automotive or technical stores. A piece of a fireblanket maybe. But with with the stuff to put it, and keep it upwards the weight will be more than aluminium, or a titanium foil windscreen. My ti windscreen is 23 grams and fully fire resistant. It is in fact a piece of my...

    First aid kit contents

    Many things said here, including me. But maybe i should look at all the stuff in your kit in a complete other way. About 85% in your kit is not for treating yourself but for others. And you use all your knowlegde to prepare even for the worst case, regardless of weight and for others. That tells...

    Trangia vs pop can stoves: Ultralight weight alternative?

    I also had my fair share of making stoves. And if you can make a stove you also can make a simmerring. But found all of them still tricky to handle. And since a year i'm using esbit which i first thought of as not the real thing but i'm convinced it is as good as, and even better than alcohol...

    First aid kit contents

    Sometimes specialized knowlegde can be a disadvantage:-) or turned into fear of not being prepared. This kit is a bit overkill if professional help is relativly close by. And your kit is more a general traffic or heavy machinery kit than an outdoor kit. So instead of all the tournqet stuff i...

    My First Solo Overnighter - Kit

    Nice video, and nice to see your open minded view on this! And you can surely go. Some remarks, if i may, have to do with the time you can go, and the weather. I would also only take the berghaus. As said, tuf but heavy and does not much for warmth. A cotton T-shirt, and if i am correct the...

    Chainsaw advice?

    10 years ago a got the same question after buying a woodstove. The advice i got then was to buy a Petrol saw because often you can get some cheap wood, out in the field. Buy a saw with a bit more power than a pro would use for the same work, because your more twisting etc. Get some one to train...

    Nice idea! And a lot of cool stuff. But without mentioning your medical first aid skill level and intended use for this kit, a comparison with other kits will be difficult. So could you tell us a bit more? Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met behulp van Tapatalk

    How could this be better

    I was going to say; try B/W but you did:-) What I liked from the a bit yellowish/magenta photo is that the water seems to come more to the viewer. But is in the foreground still a bit to dark. I like the B/W version but were the color version seperates water from air is now gone. So when...

    How could this be better

    Excellent question and thread! So in general: Imagine you are on top of a lighthouse. You feel the wind, smell the sea, hear the birds go by and watch the sun go down. You take a picture. But at home this picture of the sun is not giving you, or telling someone else how it was all the way up on...

    Recommend me a one man tent

    Yes the Akto will do for sure everything you've asked. A terra nova laserlight, or photon also but with more condensation and less protection. A Golite shangri-la outer is a 700gram palace. Use a sleepingbag cover which is smaller in weight and volume than the innertent. You want your...
