FOR SALE - SOLD! . That’s just about how quickly this in-demand lens sold when I put it on Craigslist the other day. . It’s a great wide angle lens, bought to use for landscapes and astrophotography. . It never made it out of the box, however, as I found a deal on a great Nikkor lens, and sat unused for the better part of a year. . The word got out in several articles late last year that, for the money, this is one of the best lenses out there for astrophotography and compares quite well to lenses costing three and four times more. . So, of course, vendors starting raising their price. . I was able to sell it at a great savings to the buyer and still recoup my investment. . I love it when a deal comes together like that. . . #happybuyer #happyseller #rokinon #rokinon14mm #photography #astrophotography #nightsky #buyselltrade #gooddeal #liveauthentic #lifeontheroad #worktravel #alternativelifestyle #welivetoexplore #myoutdoorlife #geartesting #photographyworkshop #astronotastral #solotravel #nomad #letsgetlost #workitout #wanderlust #gooddeal #wideangle #exploretocreate #adventure #explore #getoutandexplore #optoutside (at United States) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnvvrY8nE-l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dsmperszzx8

Fat Rope test .

After I was kindly sent some Fat-Rope tinder by Hangar51 to test out by @alphabushcraft I thought I’d do a few little tests to see how well it performed .

 The stick is easy to cut using a sharp knife  just trimming down a few sections to test out its performance . The inner core fluffs up nicely and is protected by a waxed paper tube which also burns well .

The tinder caught quickly from a fire-steel struck with a tungsten circle striker and the burn-time was plenty to get a small fire going even in a slight breeze .

 I then decided to see how well it performed wet and did both a spill and dunk test .

I cut and lit another section of the Fat Rope again using the fire-steel and then deliberately spilled some water onto it .

You can see in picture 5 that the water displaced the tinder but that some sections stayed alight it would have been possible to scoop these up with the tip of my knife and transfer to another tinder bundle .

 For the dunk test I cut another section which I then fluffed up between my hands and then submerged into the pond .

 It did cough and splutter a bit but it did take a spark after a few attempts and I was able to get a small fire going after its dunking .

So the Fat Rope worked for me however personally I think the whole package is a little too big for a dedicated bushcraft fire kit / survival pouch type scenario but would be suited for prepping / over landing vehicle expedition use for example .

I’m used to using smaller ‘one fire one tinder types such as the Badest Bee fire-fuzes or wet fire tinder which are lower profile and easy to stash  .

That being said the stuff definitely works well and can always be cut into small watertight baggies for easy size storage .

My discovery this quarantine season is that I’m a pretty big Zak Efron fan, so that’s interesting.

Was ein Kurztrip! Bin erst 2 Tage unterwegs und erlebe die fantastischsten Locations ❤️ Heute am Baggersee direkt an der Mosel. Man muss nicht weit rausfahren um Abenteuer zu erleben. Vor allem aber konnte ich das Equipment testen 🙌 Dinge haben funktioniert, andere nicht. Bin gespannt für euch das Video zu schneiden 🤙 Sehr schöne Bilder dabei. #bikepacking #geartest #frankreich (hier: Frankreich) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc6BAg0Lwke/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Time To Clean Up My Ax . Man, I was bummed to see that where I’d stored my two axes and hatchet, in their sheaths and inside a cavity in my van’s rear door, took on some condensation dampness from recent hard rains. The result was some mildew on the sheaths and trapped moisture inside, which caused some light surface rust and pitting to the steel heads of all three tools. Didn’t take long, either, for the damp to work it’s damage. . This was going to be a post about the few things I never loan out for others to use. One of them is my @raymears_woodlore Wilderness Ax, made by @gransforsbruk. I discovered the mildew and rust damage when I went to get the ax for a photo. . Sooo, my penance is to take time to clean up my axes. Took a little elbow grease and light solvent with 3m Scotch-Brite and steel wool to get rid of the rust and light pitting. Some like the pitting as character. I don’t, not on heads this new. Then oil up the heads with Flaxseed Oil, which proved to be wonderful on my steel fire pit, and touch up the handles with boiled linseed oil. . In this pic I’m only halfway there. . Lesson learned. I would’ve much rather used this time otherwise, though I have always enjoyed working with my tools, whether for their intended use or tending to them to ensure longer life. . I certainly learned new respect for my axes and hatchet. You can be sure I’ll store them more carefully and inspect them more often. . All three are @gransforsbruk, handmade in Sweden, and are just beautiful, high-quality tools. . Take care of your tools and they’ll take care of you. . . #ax #timetocleanupmyact #toolcare #gransforsbruk #optoutside #camplife #nomadlife #toolsofthetrade #axes #lessonlearned #takecareofyourtools #neverdull #tooltime #geartesting #myoutdoorlife #imnottoobrightsometimes #doitright #getoutstayout #campinggear #overlandgear #expedition #adventurer #explorer #woodsman #bushcraft #outdoorlife #letsgetlost #wanderlust #explore #wanderer (at Back Cove, Portland, Maine) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn6eg37nd8C/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=c1hpv1isxr93
