A bizarre new social media challenge, which entails participants inverting bags of charcoal over their heads, is raising eyebrows online.

Large thinning projects could create enough of a supply to build small-diameter sawmills, according to Russ Vaagen, of Vaagen Timbers. The Washington-based company produces cross-laminated timber and glue-laminated beams from smaller trees. “It has the opportunity to not only offset some of the cost, but make the whole process of forest restoration profitable” he says. “Most importantly, it can be done without harming the aesthetic of the overall forest if done appropriately.”

Cleaning & Sanitation The level of cleaning was completely inadequate as evidenced by the following examples:* There was a build-up of food waste and food residues on the walls and floors underneath and behind equipment.* The shelving in the refrigerators had mould growth adhering to the surfaces.* The external surfaces of cooking equipment, refrigerators, work surfaces had a film of grease and were stained with food residue.* The internal surfaces of the extraction canopy were covered in a film of grease.* The toilet bowls in the patrons and staff sanitary accommodation were filthy as were the hand wash sinks.* The floor and walls of the food store were filthy with a large accumulation of dirt and cobwebs/spiders observed.* There was a foul odour noted in the potato peeling area particularly at the manhole where the waste water is discharged.* There was a large accumulation of potato debris/starch in a sieve placed in the manhole. This area was not cleaned on a regular basis.* The cleaning store was in a very poor state of repair with a foul smell evident. It is inadequate to store all the cleaning equipment necessary for cleaning the premises. The only mop and bucket used for cleaning the premises was stored in the rear yard at the time of inspection.

I took two knives with me. A Mission Knives CSP-2 designed by Chance Sanders and a little Mora Eldris which I wore as a neck knife. Having never been to a bushcraft course before I quickly learned the difference between a survival knife and a bushcraft knife. The CSP-2 is a hardcore knife that is extremely thick. It could be used to pry a door open or baton wood into smaller pieces. It was a bit thick for carving and finer detail working. The CSP did excel in making the fireboard for the bow drill. I ended up using the Eldris for the full two days and loved it. While small, it is very sharp and the size is great for quick use. If I had to pick a big knife in place of a hatchet then the CSP-2 would be great. I prefer the pairing of a forest axe and the mora but this is personal preference. Most people do not want to spend $150 dollars on a little axe, but will spend that on a great knife like the Mission Knives CSP-2.
