    Oh, and making knives is hard as hell. Believe me, I spent a whole summer doing a crash-course in forging and the best I can do is an S- or J-hook, let alone a spoon or a knife.

    What material were you using? Bar stock?

    Unfortunately, yes. And it was mild steel. Some of it was even rebar. Not ideal at all.

    It also didn't help that the anvils and hammers I had access to were shit.

    IDK, I have heard good things about using railroad spikes. Then again, I'm not really that good at anything I have ever tried so we will see what happens lol.

    Long and short of it is square stock > round stock.

    Yeah I have heard that too. It makes sense that the square stock is much easier to work with than the round, since you are making a flat object lol.

    Hey so this has just come to my attention... Now, normally I'm a huge fan of the improvements the Canadian Forces have made and the products they have chosen for personnel equipment.

    But what the fuck:





    And what the fuck is up with this Eotech mount bullshit:

    Alternatively, something that's actually functional and already on the market instead of spending all this time and money on making our own?

    Add some nape protection to the back of the helmet and you've got the same thing without the R&D costs and logistic issues.
