Foxfire
Foxfire 1-6 can be downloaded from this site
I'm downloading one now so i cant tell you if its worth downloading from here just yet.
Well i had a look, this comes with a prog that restricts me to x-amount of viewings forcing me to buy it from them if i want to keep reading it. I was hoping that because of the large file size, the book will have crisp images and neater txt but it's just poor scans of an old book.
I'm better off with the smaller sized torrent download
The only alternative is to buy the expensive originals that pop up on ebay which i would like but just not an option at the mo

Ye olde Lonely Planet Booke
The problem with ebooks is that you have to stare at the screen to read them, I much prefer the the traditional paper format that i can read in the comfort of my bed, sleeping bag or sofa, i also love the smell of books, new and old, but the problem with paper books is they are rarely free and i like free stuff especially free knowledge so thats where ebooks have a use in my opinion, a paperless way to spread free useful knowledge (who would buy an E novel? 400 pages of discomfort - no thanks).
Anyway, found this free online book that can be viewed in different formats and hopefully is worth staring at the screen for (I had a look at the txt version but the DJVU and PDF versions are scanned from the original book). It's written in Olde English where the letter f was often used instead of the letter s (i wonder if if this is the case if i find the word suck), it's 392 pages of discomfort but looks very interesting.

Green Pete Knife Making
www.greenpete.co.uk
You can download a dvd or watch on youtube his great tutorial on how to make your own knife saving you possibly hundreds on a nice fancy knife from elsewhere. In my opinion it's how he makes the knife that really makes the tutorial great, a trip to a scarp yard and a few basic diy tools is all that's needed (and somewhere to do it). If i had of seen this the last time i tried to make a knife then i would of been in possession of a great looking knife instead of the abortion that i use now.
