I got the tree in front of our house trimmed because its branches are almost touching the roof and scratching it when the wind blows. I don't even know what kind of tree it was but when I saw its wood grain, I thought it would make a good knife handle material. And so I got my tools and went on to carving a knife handle.
The knife handle almost done and the knife already epoxied in it.
Done, stained and oiled. What do you think guys?
That's all folks! Thanks for reading.
I first saw this set up from one Youtuber named luv2sharpen. He says this is what he carries when running on the trail because it's light and don't take much space. His plastic match box contains a fire steel, small sticks of fatwood and folded wax paper for fire making. My container below stores the same items but I added a jute twine as well.

I like coffee, especially on a chilly morning. Sometimes I drop by the park after working night shift, take a short walk and then have a cup of coffee afterwards. I just enjoy preparing my coffee by myself boiling the water using my alcohol stove. But I want to try something else too, not always the instant coffee variety. So when I saw this small, simple espresso maker, I did not hesitate to buy it.

I went biking in the park near my place when I noticed a flock of birds congregating on a secluded area where I use to pass by. I was curious what was in it so I went to take a look and what do you know, a mulberry tree full of ripe berries.
And so I cut my empty water bottle, tie a sisal twine for a strap and picked some berries.
Mulberries are excellent source of vitamin C and a powerful natural anti oxidant.
