 I do not know if others have tried this product, but when your kit is
too wet for friction firelighting, there is no silver birch around and
your cotton wool is wet, this is a sure fire way to get a fire going

.JPG "thumb_LOOK WHAT WE FOUND SOUPS AND MEALS (Small).JPG") Now foraging in the hedgerow for your meal is all well and good, but some of us poor bushcrafters are novices at this art and would surely starve if this was our only source of food, so rely on taking sustenance with us on bushcrafting/camping/hiking and other field trips. Not that this means we have to eat poorly, even on trips so long that fresh ingredients to our meals are not an option. Along with my famous (?!) bannock mix, pouched meals are a favourite option.

.jpg "thumb_crusader hang (Small).jpg") Squatting over a steaming cup of noodles perched precariously atop a hexicooker I took refuge from the tropical deluge beneath my hammock and pondered on whether it would really be worth the effort to dig some guttering in order to divert the steadily growing stream of rainwater that currently coursed around my feet and threatened to further undermine any possibility of me staying anything less than moist.

 The mess tin is a solid stainless steel and relatively lightweight cooking vessel. It comes with a well fitting lid, which is a bonus compared with the old aluminium version which came without a lid. It saves precious fuel and makes your water (or whatever you are preparing in it) come to a boil significantly faster.

Such is the lure of these shiny objects on the male psyche that a
number of dedicated collectors’ forums exist, inhabited by the
silhouetted forms of men squinting at light meters, bathed in the
brilliant glow of their own personal supernovas, mumbling incoherently
about Lux, Lumens and thermal runaway.
How many hats are guaranteed for life with a no quibble agreement? The
T3 is! How many manufacturers insure the hat against loss or damage?
The T3 has a 2-year, all perils 50% deductible policy attached!
The jungle is a harsh environment for such an item because the tool was
wet or the majority of the time. However, it stood up very well with
little sign of rusting or corrosion even after coming back and allowing
it to stand for a while.
The F1 is a basic fixed blade knife with a 'drop-point' 3.5inch blade (made of VG 10 stainless steel) and a man-made (Thermorun) handle. Originally designed for use by Aircrew of the Swedish Defence Forces as a survival knife, as any survivor will tell you a 'survival-knife' is the one you have with you at the time, so the F1 is designed to be small & light enough to be carried at all times but robust enough to withstand the abuse it would encounter in a survival situation within the Arctic Circle...
I rate these knifes very highly. Both in design and construction
I was intrigued by Spamel’s thread on the Snugpak Response Pak – or their other types of ‘grab-n-go’ bags - and what people carried in them. I’m a bit of a bag junkie, partly because of my work (military) and partly because of a quest to be able to carry the right equipment for the right job in practically any situation. I guess the ‘Holy Grail’ is effectively a bag that you instinctively grab, without thinking about it, before you go off for an adventure.
The sparks that come off the steel, burn longer and hotter than anything I have used before. Sometimes they can sizzle away at 3000 degrees centigrade for a second or more,
