Fix you

I look at worn/broken stuff thinking "can i get another season out of this?"

The answer is almost, always Yes..

My Marmot anorak got some new patches over the old patches..

The zipper broke awhile back so i stitched in some velcro..

I also patched my M90 glove..

And some ass holes destroyed the bench halfway up the hill so I fixed that to..

Good for another season..

Tiny tools

 Ringded bit / torx whatever thing..

Just stick a twig trough the ring and you can un screw stuff..

The team.. 

They live on the shoulder strap loops on my back pack, easy to reach and use ..

Might replace the Chicago screws with rivets but im all out at the mo..

Tarp castle

At it again.. 

All my projects are meandering things that spans over weeks months years decades sometimes and thats a thing to cherish..

Anyways.. the tarp is the right size now

but i just need to widen the base of the 

laavu so it fits better..

(I need more sticks)

What sucks is the tarp itself.. its one of those "light weight" ones that spontaneously develop holes every where..

Hard to judge by the pic but with a wider base four people could easily fit / sleep in it.. 

 

It spoke to me..

..from the side of the road.

It wants to be something..

We will watch, think and then act..

 

Mc Boat

Ive been wanting a kayak for a long time and finally pulled the trigger.

A local rental company sells of their fleet at a heavy discount in the of season.

Its in awesome shape, some light signs of recreational use..

And anything can be a money pit if you put some effort in it..

The deck lines are black and 5mm..

Not cool..

Changed them to 6mm in different 

colours for easier identification.

Looks well tidy..

Sorted out a place at a marina 5k from home

And from there i have access to the Baltic archipelago.. 

So now we wait for spring..

Poker

Various found bits..

Trail poker. For a very specific task..

Removing reflective tabs on trees.

Some might disagree but if you cant see the 2 meter/6ft vide trail with your bikelight/headlamp

You should stay home at night..

Also for removing ribbons/trailarrows/signs that should be removed after the event but that rarely happen..

 

Dead Sailor

 I might drag this home..

Im in need of a chunky racked camper bike..

Good bye old friend..

Cleaning out the closet.. found this old thing.

Throw back to when i was ripping around on my 94 Kona Fire Mountain being a fakenger.

 So Yeah the dudes in the docu "need for speed" was a big influence..

Time to put it to rest in a landfill, everything goes..

Handles..

 For carrying stones..

Etc etc...

Tarp tipi .

Man i messed up the tarp math..

I have made one of these before but apparently i have forgotten how to..

 So double the size, check..

Lights out

Lost the lens cap thing on the gravel truck+it got ran over by a car..

So "repaired" it. Fluxcore/old wire/plastic lid.. 

Looks so awesome, might look better painted..

 

Axe stuff..

 More leather crap..

Edge cover for my EIA axe..

(Low key the best edc axe out there..)

Pretty crude but will do the thing.

 Ask me ten years down the trail...

Pack problems

 Broke the sternum strap on my Exped pack 

a million days ago so I made a new one..

Leather/copper rivets and a bit of deer antler.

I do like when my repairs/fixes stuck out like a sore thumb..

X marks the spot

They say that God will provide..

But just in case if he Doesn't 

 

Tripod

My crappy camera/phone tripod crapped out. The temporary string solution worked for a while but it needed some improvement..

Fluxcore magic time 

And per usual some field testing..

It gives me so much satisfaction to fix stuff and get some more mileage out of whatever it is..
