Collected some birch and lime for the fire. Used some of the bark to make a new neck sheath for my Opinel.

This morning I decided to drill a hole through one of my ferro rods with a hand drill (not electric) so I got my drill bits and drill an started to make the hole so it could be put on a lanyard and about 3/4 through there was sparks galore needless to say I had ferro rod with a drill bit stuck/ welded together, I will say that I was only turning the handle at a slow ish speed so thought that it would not spark how wrong was I? anyway I got another rod and managed to drill through without any sparks this time, I then drilled a hole into a piece of magnesium so that can go on the lanyard as well.
I use a pillar drill for ferro rods, never had any problems with it welding itself in, Maybe because it's constantly moving it doesn't get chance to "stick"?Originally Posted by ian c

- You’ll never be lost if you remember that moss always grows on the north side of your compass.
- While the Swiss Army Knife has been popular for years, the Swiss Navy Knife has remained largely unheard of. Its single blade functions as a tiny canoe paddle.

Where would I find one of these (presumably) utensil drainers? My ikea one is too short and stout (much like me)
They do larger ones @ Ikea Chris
Ne te confundant illigitimiIt is always a pleasure to see what you can make !, instead of buying it ready made. R Proenneke.
Got that one from tesco, £6 begrudgingly paid, a little annoying as it's 12cm diameter so a 12cm zebra won't fit inside
failing to prepare = preparing to fail
Pray not for a lighter load, but for a stronger back.
Or check charity shops. I've picked a couple up from such places, for £1
