Re: Nomad Verses the Outdoors Pursuits knife.

The lansky blade medic is a lovely little bit of kit, keep one in the pocket of my cartridge belt and another in my fishing box, I've actually never needed to use the carbide sharpener on it, I've only used the ceramic as I'm a former chef and slightly obsessed with keeping a razor edge on my knives...

Re: Papain

Re: Sort of new member.

Thanks for the welcome, sense of humour I have no trouble with, was in and out of the catering trade for fifteen years, you wouldn't last 30 seconds if you couldn't take a joke!

Area 3 for anyone that's interested, newish to prepping but I shoot and fish and have always been interested in bushcraft and survival skills, so it's not too much of a culture shock or parti...
