I came across this website some years ago, and it has changed my life a lot. It has given me new perspectives, and the joy of using a Khukhuri myself.
I want to write this in memory of Bill Martino (Uncle Bill) who was a brave man and an old and wise spirit in this world who has contributed to make this world a better place.

And, remember, thatNepali culture is currently being severely oppressed.
Those are the adventures of Mr. Fimbulmyrk, in bushcraft and blacksmithing, mountainbiking and hiking, reenactment, writing, singing, dancing, stargazing and having a piece of cake and a coffee. Pray have a seat and look around you, but be warned - the forest´s twilight is ferocious at times.
