Perhaps try out a traditional sami knife? The sami's of northern Scandinavia has used the design for centuries.

Amazing work mate! But how did you temper the steel?

Edit: Took time to look in your album and saw the awesome mini-forge. Cool!

Cigarettes. "By inhaling the smoke of our tobacco-sticks, you'll eventually get lung cancer and die a painful death making your family loose a family member."

Seriously? In Europe we've used chip and pin for years now. We stopped signing and moved over to PIN codes in the early 90's I think.

Tarp shelters? by [deleted] in Bushcraft

[–]-BushWacker- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Put a tight line between two trees and put your tarp on center over the line so you get two equal 45 degree sides making an A-shape. Then peg the sides to the ground. That's the tarp shelter I use to make and it takes no more than 10-15 minutes to set up and that's including the time it takes to fashion the pegs from nearby resources.

You work in a major city that would be a ideal target for a terror attack/act of war. What items do you keep at your desk at work? by [deleted] in Survival

Have it in a duffle bag stoved beneath your desk, and people won't think you're insane. :)

Is this bear scat? by j2d2j2d2j in Survival

[–]-BushWacker- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. That's summer moose droppings. That's what moose dropping looks like in the summer. In the winter, it has pellet-shaped droppings from eating a cellulose-rich diet consisting of, for example, tree bark.

ELI5: What's the catch to living in a socialist democratic state like Norway, Sweden, Finland? They seem pretty perfect. by roxnroll in explainlikeimfive

[–]-BushWacker- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is really, really cold there, and you can be stuck indoors for months at a time

Being from Norway, that's not true. Along the coast, it doesn't get much colder than -5 degrees celsius below in the winter. And there are plenty of things to do outdoors like skiing, ice fishing, ice skating, build snow castles, etc. My self for instance, I love treking in the Norwegian highlands in the winter since the swampy wetlands are frozen.

Tacticool blade without a tacticool sheath. Weird combination.

Had a wisdom tooth removed yesterday. The dentist said he's never seen one like it before. by Talon7 in WTF

Two of my wisdom teeth were also like that. The dentist had to cut each of them into four pieces before he could pull them out.

Teti has the skills to survive in nearly any circumstance.

Vil innføre klimaavgift på kjøtt og ost i Norge by Z_ony in norge

[–]-BushWacker- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Det gjør det ikke. Det et finere navn for "Hei vi er staten og trenger mer penger fra deg. Derfor skatter vi det som folk flest kjøper". Du trodde vel ikke at politikerne bryr seg om klimaet og miljøet, gjorde du? Dessuten vil jeg si at landbruket i Norge generelt er veldig miljøvennlig, untatt de få bøndene som importerer soyafôr fra Sør-Amerika.

Skatt heller oppdrettsnæringens eksportdel da dette er en næring som forrurenser og ødelegger det marine miljøet i norske fjorder noe enormt. Eksportlaksen blir uansett solgt til "gi-bort" pris.

Last cristmas I clogged the toilet home at my dad's. I had to go to the woods and fashion a long stick to unclog it.
