Casström Lars Fält Knife - Vapentidningen No.2 - 2019

On it's way out in stores right now; the latest issue of Vapentidningen. Inside this issue, No.2 - 2019, Jonas contributes with an article on the Casström Lars Fält Knife. This knife is a collaboration between the Swedish company Casström and the Swedish Survival Legend Mr. Lars Fält.

So pop your popcorn, boil your coffee and stuff your pipe; it's time for some nice reading about how it all started at the Bushcraftfestivalen 2016 in Gottröra. It was at that event that the idea about creating the knife was born. And for that we are truly grateful.

Other interesting articles inside the same mag is for instance; BUL SAS II UR (Henrik Kalling), Bernelli 828U Sport (Tobias Hassel) and Breda B12i (Henrik Kalling)... Much pleasure.

Bushcraft - The Art of Survival in Nature is Spreading - Land December 2018

The Swedish magazine Land has for me always been a symbol of reality and homesteading. The mag has been seen laying on kitchen tables in Swedish homesteads through the years.
So when Land contacted us wanting to do an interview on Bushcraft we of-course proudly said Yes.

The nice ans skill-fulled Journalist ms Lotta Silferbrand visited us on our homestead in Riddarhyttan Sweden for some coffee and interesting conversations about what Bushcraft is and how important wilderness skills is to mankind and the environment. After that we headed out in the refreshing outdoors of Bergslagen Sweden. Besides enjoying the Autumn air we focused on fire skills from different eras. I demonstrated the bow drill technique and how to think when building, maintaining and safely putting out a fire in the outdoors.

We wish to thank Lotta and Land for good words, nice photos and well publishing. We hope that the article can inspire more of us to go outdoors and enjoy the knowledge of Nature.
