  • We went to the woods and found out someone had broken into our pallet wood cabin. They smashed the window and broke some panels. They also trashed some of the bushcraft shelters nearby. We tidied up the damage and repaired what we could.

    This makes me enraged. My Dad taught me that if you come upon someone's shelter or camp and need to use it, show some respect by chopping some firewood, build a table, carve some wood fairies for their kids, make some repairs. I have even left notes thanking them for their effort and work to help others. You were much cooler than I would have been. Well done, lads. Yeah, I can call you lads cause I am much older than you. LOL!!!

      I know.. but the youth of the U.K. and even Europe are absolutely not brought up that way anymore.
      And it happened soon.. I'd never thought that 'my kids ' (would be the 17 to 20 y. o. mark) would be like that but if I look around me.. they are as unhappy as can be!
      If they are bored out of their minds of their games and abused console's they go outside to kick off their boredom.
      Litteraly trashing stuff and it absolutely must be from somebody else.
      When I was young and another parent stood at the door because I had done something with my friends, their parents came at my door and wanted to talk to my parents and believe me..
      We didn't have t.v. or gaming stuff on our rooms!
      If you had to stay in your room because I was grounded, the only thing that was entertaining was to watch outside your window! And the flipping neighbor asking me what I had done wrong this time..
      And that was the most exciting thing that was!
      And that was for days on end.
      Nowadays a kid does something it should not do it gets a "don't do that, if I catch you doing it you will know it!" But the thing is... NOTHING happens!! Because it immidiatly is child abuse..
      I can go on and on but I won't. Simply because it doesn't matter.
      It is a shame and yeah, I even feel ashamed of them!
      Trashing other man's work, time and yes: MONEY !!
      Edit: what I meant to say what I had done with my friends was calling other kids some names and such stuff.. Never in my life I have trashed, demolished anything, I was raised with a spanking so now and again or when I had a raging temper my head was stuck under cold water. And of course time in your room to think.

    It used to be a time if you were stranded in the woods, you would replace and leave a bit more when you left.
    I remember using one once. I only used very little wood.
    I don't have much energy to cut more.
    I went home but I felt bad not been able to leave more cut wood.
    I went to the store in the city before hitting back to that location.
    This time, I took a huge bag of salt, flour, yeast, beans, and water bottles and hit back. Upon arrival I notice 2 people were there. They let me know they were the owners retiring there. I could see the veg garden.
    So I have them the items. They say....... Why?
    I told them about a time I went on my own and came upon the cabin. Andi did used their wood.
    All that couple said was....... O& yes, I remember seen less wood by the stove and not been replaced.
    But we notice a clean up was done including the windows.
    They were very kind accepting my items. And I felt better.

    On a very long trip through the Quetico in 1974 we came upon a well-built log cabin on one of the many small islands. It had six or so stacked bunk beds inside and a pantry stocked with canned goods to make meals. There was a fire pit outside and drinking water was the crystal-clear lake twenty yards away. Inside the cabin was a sign that welcomed whomever was there, offered them the use of the cabin and food as needed, and kindly asked to replace what they could or "trade in kind" if possible.
    The place was well-used and well-kept. That's Canada for you. And by the way, Canadians really and truly ARE the nicest people on earth. Much respect to my northern friends. I truly wish Diefenbaker hadn't scuttled the Avro Arrow and Canada had become the dominant superpower on the planet. We Americans were given the chance to lead and we really screwed it up.

    I’m so sorry to read this, and as an aside to what the brilliantly helpful comments your other subscribers have said, what about also appealing to the better nature of people and leave a notice saying that people are welcome to use the site if in need, but could they please be respectful and leave it as they found it. Of course that might not make a difference to those who have zero respect, but it may give some of them food for thought. Your dad is an absolute gem, love his humour!

      I agree. If they'd really wanted to "trash" the place, there'd be little left, and with the hot, dry tinderbox conditions we've had this year, they could have burnt everything down. I think they actually got off very lightly. In fact I'd say whoever had been there, had been quite respectful of everything, all things considered, and so they should be relieved. They should actually be quite pleased that some people made use of their facilities, and by and large left it all in pretty good shape. If you think what COULD have happened, and what DID actually happen, no real harm was done.

    serious shame they trashed things so needlessly. might just be the old backpacker in me, but if i'd stumbled across it, i might use the fire pit, & spend a night in one of the houses, I would want to leave it in better shape than I found it: at least tidy up and clear the leaves back from the fire pit, straighten things up, restock the woodpile, etc. Mindless destruction like that is just so pointless....
    About the Khukri's notch. It's a characteristic of that type of blade. The mark is a long tradition and carries a great deal of meaning. From a practical standpoint, it's a "drip point" to keep any blood from running down the blade onto the handle and make it slippery. On the spiritual side, it's the mark of their deity, as a reminder. They swear to never use these blades against women or children, or to slaughter cows. (this is why the notch resembles the footprint of a cow)

      When I was backpacking, I did occasionally stop in a cabin when the weather was bad. Always leave a note, more wood than when I found it and if it was locked, don't mess with it and pack out your trash, always. I was always grateful when I came across a cabin with the latch-string out, especially if it was raining. Too bad the hornets had already vacated the premise. It would have served the baduns right if they had roused a nest of angry stingers and had to bale out that broken window.

    The fuller on a blade isn't actually to channel blood out of a target. It's made into the blade to widen a piece or metal and lighten it with out changing the strength of the blade. So you can make a bigger stronger blade out of less material.
    I believe the copper or brass that was soldered on the back of that knifes sheath was to add the belt loop. That type of knife doesn't normally have one, it's normally worn tucked into a belt or sash not worn attached to a belt.
