Fire pistons are too tempermental for my liking. If the conditions, tinder, and alignment of the stars isnt perfect, you have nothing. I'm up for being proven wrong though.

Building up the tool-kit even more today. Nothing amazing, WD40, and stuff like that. Wife is allowing me to get a bsnch saw though!!!

Bench* saw.

Cool. I want to get out on the river soon. Not fished for years, but I have the gill net an yo-yo reels I need to test. And those big ol' snares.


Machete and bolt cutters arrived today. Machete is massive, needs a sharpen though. That's now in place besides the bed, just in case.

The broadheads on the site are screw in, mainly for aluminium shafts mate, the ones I mean slip over the end of the tapered wooden shafts.
