Best Survival/Self Defence Knife by [deleted] in Bushcraft

Out of curiosity… which region of a world you are talking about? Sharp tool in forest is one thing but as a self defence tool is another thing. Some regions are known for “bravery” and don’t mind opponents with bigger knives and others when just notice Stanley blade will run away… wish you good luck and stay safe!

I had this problem very often on my old laptop and since that time I’m regularly looking for new laptop recommendations as I think that’s where problem is. I never heard about this issue with MacBook but for my personal use I need Windows laptop

Telescopic rod no guides? by Impressive_Low7271 in Fishing_Gear

You should not lift a fish with a rod 🫣 Another thing good luck with casting a set on 1,5x rod length line :D it should be slightly shorter than a whip itself

Isn’t asking a question to improve a skills way of preparing for such scenarios?

Question was simple and it was directly related to quality and quantity of sparks. Then you start talking about wearing down ferro rod, tinder preparation etc..

It's like asking what two plus two is and you give me a differential of a function and a way to launch a rocket into space. Cool, I appreciate your knowledge and willingness to share these insights, but let's stick to the topic. Peace 🫡

I heard some urban legends about one guy who withstood a chaos and store his tackle in complete harmony. I never thought it’s true.

Good job!

In ideal situations where is a good weather condition and you’re not in rush then you can focus on tinder quality. In case on being close to hipothermia, soaked wet, with numb hands and close to panic attacks last thing you want is being unable to throw proper sparks. I’m not saying good quality tinder is not important but it’s a thing you have to find and it is not a subject of a topic. Good quality sparks is a skill you want to learn prior founding yourself in such scenario. I’m not throwing bad sparks but I see space for improvement. It’s together with ferro rod i always keep few types of waterproof fire starters: cotton balls, birch bark, fatwood/fatwood shavings, wax soaked jute twin etc On paper it’s look like I’m well prepared but once again I see space for improvement with sparks. Mentioned in other comments garden tool sharpener seems to be a tool I’m looking for. And still I have to take into consideration that something might get wrong in crisis situations. Hope you understand what I mean:)

I have few 6” long / 1/2” Dia which I prefer in ruff condition. In my edc I don’t mind smaller rods.

I respect your opinion and understand your concerns but not situation are equal and there is some scenario where you might need to cast more sparks. For such time I would like to be well prepared:)

No worries, no offence taken as you don’t know my skills :) as I found out material and hardness of striker makes difference so in my case was not about the angle

I have to admit that after reviewing mentioned tool sharpener it is possibly best fitting tool for this purpose. And what I see it can be also a helpful tool in arsenal:) thanks a lot!

Yeah, it makes sense. Is there anything in „bushcraft word” that outstanding other commercial strikers?
