My true outdoor stories out of Africa....

[redman2006]

I was not familiar with that knife maker, so I looked him up. WOW, he has some seriously pretty knives. I did not find a price list, but I would expect they are pricey to say the least.

My general rule is "if they don't list the price, I can't afford it".

Observe, you're probably on the wrong forum to get any movement for your offer of trade. If anyone here needs those items, they haven't been paying attention.

Observe, how are things holding up over there? Are folks going nuts?

That post was just some tongue in the cheek! lol
I am in Bahrain now. Saudi,UAE, Qatar and Kuwait has closed their borders an airports yesterday,
All schools are closed indefinitely after the initial 2 weeks.




The death totals of corona is misleading, as it only indicate people with access to medical care and hospitals.



It has not reached the millions in squatters areas, slums and low income overcrowding areas in Africa, India etc, yet.
I think it will first get worse before it will get better.



As you can see, I have some 'free' computer time on my hands...lol



Take care and stay safe at that side of the globe!

Be very careful of this one out there---Puff-adder!

[kickstand]

Holy crap! I'm assuming that is not you, since there's no story attached?

We have puff aders down here but apparently ours aren't as toxic as yours, I've never even heard of a bite from one let alone something that gory. Ours are also a foot or less fully mature, how large was that one

The fer de lance in south America has venom that digests like that , years ago a priest down there was treating those bites with electric shock from a boat motor as well as some other bites . In about 30 minutes the person was back to normal , the military at one time was working on something like a tazer to shock . The thought was the current did something to the venom that changed it . In what I read a Animal Vet shocked a dog that was rattler bit and in about 30 to 40 minutes it was back to normal , the shock came from a car spark plug wire . Just an idea you might look up . https://www.nytimes.com/1986/08/05/s...nakebites.html found an article on it !

Interestingly , it burns quickly with a clear, smokeless fire -- --multipurpose!! 🔥🤔👍🔥

Warning!--Be careful!

Keep your hands clear of any open flames after using... !!!

PRACTICAL EXPERIMENT TIME...

'SURVIVAL' CAMP FIRE STARTERS COMPARISON

....all 3 are burning here....

[...and it seems the winner here is duct-tape with the hottest flame...��]



ANOTHER COMPARISON BETWEEN 'SURVIVAL' CAMPFIRE STARTERS 'VASELINE' AND 'HAND SANITIZER' BOTH SOAKED WITH A SMALL PIECE OF TISSUE.

Now the winner seems to be 'VASELINE'!



'Survival' fire starters comparison experiment.

Each mixed with a piece of tissue paper here.

Now the 'winner' [hottest flame] seems to be 'Vaseline' !��

I had success with all 3 out there as 'emergency' fire starters. A small piece of TP and the 2 on the right can be used with a fero-rod as well.
Which one do you prefer?

I'm not sure if surfing causes Covid19 or if it is a primary source of transmission but what I do know is little wanna be dictators world wide find it extremely offensive. Mothers with their babies in parks seems to be another health crime that we must actively work to eliminate.
