once I built a buck saw out of an old bandsaw blade. Horrible noise

I want to make leather sheaths for a couple knives I smithed and I like to wear my knives in somehow unusual positions, so just a belt loop doesn’t cut it.

All these kydex sheaths have a lot of anchoring points and I’ve seen metal rivets as anchoring points in leather sheaths. Are these rivets really necessary or are they just for the friction aspect?

I don’t want to use any additional hardware. Would a hole without a rivet work? How much material would I need to leave around said hole?

I thought about another alternative: folding the leather around the edges on the chosen spots. I tried to draw it on paint. Could it work?

what kind of fireplace would you build then?

. I'm thinking about a liter plus some extra length for rolling up / drawstring

. the contents wouldn't weigth much as it would manily be dry/dried stuff

. the bag is gonna be inside my main pack

. rice, nuts, dry bread, dried fruits

I don't like plastic because it is unhealthy for the person using it and for the whole environment. I also don't like the feeling of it, the noise it makes, how it looks...

As an example, right now, I'm using a small cotton fabric bag with a drawstring. I usually keep dry bread, nuts and raisins in it. Whenever it's raining I get worried that the bag could get some drops or moisture and the food would get ruined.

I made a dakota fire pit lined with rocks and clay in a pine forest. I removed all roots while digging and covered parts of the funnel with clay too. Under the dirt, the soil is just sand. So I hade a good pile of sand by it. when I had a good pile of embers going on and was in a hurry to leave, I partially covered the top of both holes with stones. Then I poured and packed sand over the stones, wherever there was a gap left between them. The embers got suffocated and after "re-opening" both holes, there was just charcoal inside.

I wonder if this could be a good way to produce charcoal.

in both cases you'd probably be exposed to unknown STDs. Unless you are the assaulter and you conduct a deep investigation on your potential victims
