I wanna thank everyone who sent me links to some of the online Foxfire books. Looks like I have plenty to read on long winter evenings. You know, if I were out of sewing, leatherworking, sharpening my tools or reloading ammo
But seriously, thanks, guys!
Not much direct prepping work done today. Some more legal steps taken towards buying the new house, which obviously is a whole new place to load with supplies and generally to "prep it for prepping" such as planting some more trees (has several grown walnuts, apples, cherries etc, but I'll add to it for sure!), sewing some medicinal herbs, securing the entrances, clearing the fire sectors and so on.
Expecting a package tomorrow, some wool fabric for my early 15th century kit. Laugh if you want, but these medieval woolen clothes will still be around, long after all the modern outdoor clothes will fall apart. So, with each of my living-history pieces, I make a long term survival piece as well.
Speaking of living-history, I did some final touch-ups on my dusack of the same era, which I might promote to my bugout blade, as I just like it too much. I'd say it has all the features I liked in a kukri, except the weird blade shape (yes, I know the idea behind it, I just don't like the outcome) and the odd handle. This one feels so much more natural to me.
