I guess it's just a question of the Husqvarna price here, rather than Gransfors being cheaper :D

I'm a proud owner of a Husqvarna hatchet. It's light and small enough to run/trek with it, and it's versatile enough to fell a acacia tree thigh-thick, split dry logs 50+ cm wide in diameter, cut watermelon slices, bacon strips or carve a roasted hog. All of that actually happened on a same...

I shave once or twice a week (neck and cheekbones, the rest is bearded), and for now it looks like this one bar of soap will last me a lifetime! Been shaving like that for two straight years now, and it's still almost as out-of-the-box. :lol: That and a simple safety razor, where a packet of...

Salt and lemon trick with tequila is a hoax to get people to drink horse-piss! Good tequila is to be sipped at room temperature with no condiments in sight, and can really be pleasantly enjoyed.

:D

One of my favourite "winter" blends :)

@nismo270r: It's a good thing that you didn't buy the bialetti's electrical pot. While the timer function is a gift from heaven (you can set it so that the coffe wakes you up) - it will always produce an inferior cup in comparison with non-automated pots, because the electrical one never swiches...

Yeah, gas offers much better heat control. You can achieve good results on electric stove too, but with a bit more patience (minimum heat, barely cooking...). :)

Am I the only one here that uses a moka pot? It's got a bad rep, for sure, but it's because people mostly don't know how to use it properly. I am a strong arabica fan, and I like the espresso-like consistencies. At home I use a miniature 1 (espreso) cup moca, at work a cheap Ikea french press...

Making your own beard balm is not overly difficult, and I had the luck to have my girlfriend make it for me :P Mix shea and coconut butter, some almond oil and a bit of beeswax*, then add essential oils (we had quite a bit of a problem finding cat-safe ones), and done! It helps to make the...

I'm very satisfied with this one:

Since I live in a European town, my EDC requirements are much more humble than what seems to be necessary in America :D So my EDC is a Spyderco Bug: and a Victorinox Huntsman: If I expect that' I'll need a more sturdy blade I'll take a Leatherman Crater But most often I'll take a cheap...

I haven't set up my forge yet, so I'm still just educating myself on the various forums.

It's nice to know you make your own pattern billets. :) I do hope you have a powerhammer though! :D

There's more where that one came from. But you posted the biggest one, true.

Do you forge or do you "only" (as if that's only) do stock removal for knives?

Due to budget constrains and the time spent vs the money spent ratio that's highly unfavourable I don't buy them. I don't read the usual mass produced comic-book series, but I really like a good dark graphic novel. :)
