Yeah, the worst part is not realising you've got some stuck to the back of your boot before you crouch down, real pain in the butt.bps wrote:i was up near Mudgee and squatted down to whistle up a fox and sat on my boot i had my #rse stuck to my boot big time !!

The reserves isnt always an option though as you need to pass several tests these days before theyll let you join.

Re: Ferro rod use - Fire by FLINT
Yeah, from what i can gather, a spindle of 20-25mm is ideal as it allows for quite a bit of friction with the hearth board.

Re: Ferro rod use - Fire by FLINT
I would have thought an arrow shaft would be too thin in diameter to get the required amount of friction, but its good that its giving off smoke. I should have a go of that myself.

Re: legality and definition of owning and carrying weapons
And another thought, when is a cudgel or club not a walking stick? Can you walk with a staff legally? Are definitions all about 'purpose and intent'.

Re: New To Trad
If your going to spend $1000 on a bow, id look locally first. Plenty of aussie bowyers around making great gear. As for first bows, samicks are a good option.
