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..

 

Clubbing 2

 Putting a greasy bead on the pipe/canister joint to reduce the risk of yeeting steel and cement some where it shouldnt be yeeted

Also bought a iron ball pommel thing wich also will reduce yeeting.. Not welded on yet, its that filling the handle with lead business to sort out..

12.5 kg

Clubbing

 Another training tool..

Mace/club made of one of those large huffing gas bottles,cement and some pipe i found*

Weight around 11kg but I want to up that.

Maybe full the pipe/handle with lead shot and epoxi.

And I would like to find some round ball as a pommel thing for the handel.

*Weird thing about that bit of pipe. I was looking into order a bit of pipe for this and searched 60cm/30mm pipe on the webs just to step on a bit of junk pipe with exactly those dimensions out in the woods..

If there is a junk metal god, a Lord of the discarded tidbits.. 

He is on my side..

Another one

New Gada/Mace. The previous one I made is about 6/7kg and I wanted a heavier one..

Cement/gravel/shovel handle and some leadbits in the mix for extra weight..

 

Pipe/tobacco boxes

Artefacting..

Not a smoker but I occasionally burn tobacco for ceremonial reasons.. 

And much of my tinkering is along the lines of living history / "reenactment"..

Not really sure what Im reenacting thou..just curious about how the past felt..
