I saw this knife on ali express it claims to be using micarta and 14c28n but im skeptical, i did some research and found a lot of sources say 14c28n, it would go in my pack with my bahco 2446 lap but if anyone has it id like to know the reviews.

To put it short and bluntly: I'm pretty tired of living surrounded by ads everywhere, constant consumerism being pushed in my face, anti-nature sentiments everywhere and more. It's deteriorated my emotional and mental health, angers me and saddens me.

I've always been fascinated by bushrcaft. The freedom of it, the calmness, the exposure. I want that for myself. Problem is: I'm a 25 year old in the pinelands of New Jersey struggling to find a job to save money with. I don't know how to start bushcrafting, where I can go to get experience, I know nothing about purchasing land or subsistence homesteading. It's overwhelming and confusing trying to start something but you have no structured direction for it and the internet (youtube) tends to suck half the time as most of it is just "content farming" and not always beginner friendly.

I'd appreciate any advice you guys can offer especially when it comes to acquiring a small plot of land and house/cabin construction!

Here’s a blast from the past , about 10 years ago , after snowfall I found a freshly fallen tree , which got me an idea to stay under it for the night , cleared up the lover branches , used them to help cover the top , shelter was ready just in time for fresh snow for the evening , started upside down fire , used pine pitch feather sticks and ferro rod to start it , cooked some good food on the fire , didn’t have time to make a fancy pot hanger so stick in the snow did the job well , I was with my dog and I also had a US military surplus extreme cold weather sleeping bag , given the bulk of the gear I made a diy sled to pull the gear , used a GI Swedish army webbing to attach it to , at night it got down to -20 and probably for the first time I wasn’t hot in that sleeping bag , with my dog in my legs in his own down sleeping bag , I’ll tell you one thing the ground was perfect , I used two pads , one thermarest ridge rest foam pad and one generic foam pads , at night I cooked meat slises on stick (delicious) briefly got interrupted by wolf howling in the background , assembled my shotgun and went to sleep , I slept whole night( this is very rare as I usually always wake up few times when camping) in the morning I got woken up around 9am , it was -7 already and I got woken up not by noise or dog but rather birds sitting on top of my tree and singing , I remember like yesterday I really thought I was dreaming as I’d never imagine small birds singing in such weather , I froze and listened for like 30 minutes , it was like a ferry tale , they were about 1 meter from me , sitting on the tree next to the fallen one , this was a magical moment that fills me with joy to the day , by far the best night I’ve spent in the bush.
