For a long time I wanted to have a skrama, but the handle material is what always stopped me from buying it. So last week I decided to forge one from an old rasp. The rasp was 7mm thick so with lots of hammering I got it down to an […]
Last year I sold my modified Polish Lavvu, where I attached a skirt to create more usable space. Reason was purely the weight. I’m not a camper but a hiker, so I wanted something lighter. Around the same time I was able to buy a second hand Shangri La 3 […]
Two friends from Holland came over and we headed over to the mountains to the north east of Czech Republic, bordering with Poland. It’s a beautiful area, quite rocky here and there. We slept in hammocks, breakfasts from the stoves, dinners from the fires, and most of the time we […]
For our grilling corner we wanted a small table where we could put the food and drinks on during grilling / cooking on the fire. I’ve seen a few pics of tables with axes as legs but with the bit sticking out above the table. With a small kid around […]

For my wood carving projects I needed a wooden mallet, so I made a simple one, with a ash handle, a beech head, and oak dowels to strengthen it. The wedge is also from oak.
To make nice pictures of outdoor equipment and my axe collection, I made this photo box. I did not go for the usual cardboard box setup, but for something more sturdy as some of the equipment is heavy.

This is the 3rd forge I made from a barbecue, and in this video I am showing you all the steps I take to make it work.
Making a simple cheap lightweight pot stand from 2 bicycle spokes for my Toaks titanium alcohol burner.
Making a Swedish torch log fire with only a knife. To start the fire I used birch bark and pine resin. It’s perfect to cook on
Testing various charred materials with flint and steel, some natural materials and some man made materials. It’s always good to test things out yourself instead of believing rumors
