  1. For the Fish River Canyon and Drakensberg trip I have my cooking setup settled and there are some luxury items.

    - I am taking a Fozzils Snapbowl for when I need a bowl. Doubles as a cutting board. (fozzils.com/product-page/snapf). It fits nicely into the back stretch pocket of the backpack.

    - A long handle spork.

    - A Victorinox Soldier's knife. It has all the necessary utilities for emergencies. The made blade is serrated and sharp. I have used it in the past to even cut open tins. (amazon.es/-/en/Victorinox-Schw)

    - A spreading knife, because it works better than the pocket knife's big blade. It is my one luxury item.

    - All the cutlery items go into a small Hilltop tent stake bag. I purposely bought the one with the meat print. (hilltoppacks.com/products/tent)

    - MSR Pocket Rocket DLX. Slightly heavier than some other compact stoves, but it burns more efficiently, has a regulator and a piezo igniter. (cascadedesigns.com/en-eu/produ).

    - Lightload Towel as a dish cloth. It is super lightweight, recycable and lasts for many days. (litesmith.com/lightload-towels/).

    - MSR Titan 900ml kettle. (cascadedesigns.com/en-eu/produ)

    - MSR Titan Double Wall mug 375 ml. It fits inside the kettle. (cascadedesigns.com/en-eu/produ).

    - All the cookware goes inside a Hilltop stuff sack, including one gas canister. (hilltoppacks.com/products/stuf)

    - I have one large food bag from Hilltop (hilltoppacks.com/collections/f) as well as 2nd snack bag. At this point I might take another Hilltop bag instead of the Sea to Summit drybag for the latter purpose.

    - As these hikes are in Southern Africa, a common practice is to eat rusks with morning coffee / tea. I keep these in a plastic container to prevent them from becoming crumbs.

    - My second luxury item is a Platypus 800ml wine bag, because we like to sip some red wine in the evening. When it is empty it rolls up really small (cascadedesigns.com/en-eu/produ).

    This whole setup is < 900g.

    I did not include a emergency matches or a lighter in this list as that will go into the emergency and first aid bag.

  6. W kuchni, w której pracuję od kilku miesięcy, używane są noże Fiskars z serii Functional Form. Niby są spoko, ale zupełnie nie leżą mi w ręce.

    Nie chciałem chodzić do pracy z domowym Victorinoksem, więc kupiłem sobie najprostszy, dwudziestocentymetrowy nóż szefa z Gerlacha i muszę powiedzieć, że okazał się zaskakująco wygodny. Dobrze układa się w dłoni i jest całkiem przyjemnie wyważony.

    Co prawda ostrze jest trochę cieńsze od mojego Vicka i łatwiej się rysuje (po 2 tygodniach ma więcej rysek niż tamten po kilku latach używania), a drewno (podobno dąb) przy łączeniu z metalem już nieco poczerniało (mimo tego, że myję ręcznie i od razu suszę cały nóż), ale nadal wydaje się być całkiem dobrym zakupem, zwłaszcza za 75 złotych.

    Jak na razie nieźle trzyma ostrość, do tej pory jedynie honowałem go na stalce i ciągle tnie warzywa bardzo przyzwoicie. W przyszłym tygodniu będzie pora na pierwsze ostrzenie i nawet zastanawiam się, czy przepuścić go razem z resztą firmowych noży przez elektryczną maszynkę, czy może jednak naostrzyć go ręcznie na kamieniu, tak jak mój domowy nóż.

  7. I lost my favourite #pocketknife a couple of days ago.

    It’s a #Victorinox Ranger 55 & it’s usually in a pants pocket.

    I use it for #opening bags of lupins & #cutting lucerne bale strings, gardening, cutting fruit & vegetables, #dicing & #slicing meat, #openingcans & #bottles, using it’s #screwdriver when I’m tinkering & on & on.

    I finally found it this morning.

    It was in my freezer! lol. (Hello again dementia! #CaryGrant: “Insanity doesn't run in my family; it practically gallops!”)

    Phew!

  8. Swiss army knife maker Victorinox considers production shift to ease U.S. tariffs

    Victorinox, which makes commercial knives as well as its well-known pocket knives, generates some 13% of its revenue in the country.

    High inventories in the U.S. mean the tariffs will not affect Victorinox until early next year.

  13. My better half isn’t feeling any better today.

    Last night she was & was talking of a drive to #Sunbury for #lunch, but as the morning has gone along, she’s declined. Her appetite returned yesterday.

    I have whipped out one of my #Victorinox #arthritis #peelers & have been slicing spuds & onions, cutting up tomatoes, splashing #WorcestershireSauce etc. & have just put a batch of #devilled #sausages into the oven.

    Lunch will be a little late, but I think it’ll hit the spot.

  14. I replaced my first scissor spring using a screw, a hammer 🔨 , and pliers. Had to push out the broken remainder of the old spring from the nook.

    Yay me!

  22. Ey, #Victorinox, Ihr habt die #Öffnungszeiten Eurer Shops echt nur auf #Google Maps?!? 🤌 Hackt's Euch? 🤬

    In other news: Ich habe nach nur 2 Jahren einen Garantiefall an meinem Victorinox #Workchamp: Die Feder der Zange ist gebrochen. Ich werde dann mal schauen, ob deren "lebenslange Garantie" hält, was sie verspricht. Oder ob man alternativ diese anscheinend leicht austauschbare Feder auch als Ersatzteil bekommt. Auf der Webseite schonmal nicht. 🙄
