This is rad, thanks for putting it together!

One thing I'd like to say is that I personally prefer lighter knives. Bought this Misono in Japan and couldn't be happier. The santoku knives tend to be a touch smaller and a lot lighter in my experience, but the caveat is that you need to get used to sharpening them in their assymetric way. I have chronic wrist problems (tentonitis/carpal tunnel) so repetitive motions with heavy utensils can be a challenge.

My house has about a dozen cast-iron pans (mostly pre-WW2 griswolds), but I spend most of my time on a good ol' Lodge and a ceramic-coated cast iron dutch oven (le cruset-style,but kirkland brand). The cast irons are also great for baking pizzas in! They're all a bit heavy for me, but I think the advantages of them more than make up for it.

The history of food and drink really interests me. One of the coolest books I ever read from the library was A History of the World in 6 Glasses by Tom Standage.

It traces the development of human civilization by what people drank. Starting off with beer and Egypt and Mesopotamia, then moving on to wine and Greco-Roman civilization. Jumping forward to British colonialism, it details the development of spirits and fortified wines, then moves on to tea and coffee, before springing forward again in time and talking about colas and soft drinks. Very, very interesting stuff.

I liked the book so much, I went out and bought my own copy, that sits proudly on a shelf of my bar, next to my scotches and bartenders guides.

I'd recommend this to start: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001804CLY?cache=638891ad78f1a31080722956f5dddcdc&pi=SY200_QL40&qid=1408979087&sr=8-2#ref=mp_s_a_1_2

Basically it'll take a few minutes of work but good hand mills are cheap and produce a much more even grind, which is necessary for a French press. You also wanna set it to the finest grind that won't go through the press.

To go for electrical grinders that are worth a damn would be going to a much higher price range (I'm not too sure exactly but I could find out).

What a great post. This is the kind of stuff that your kids will look at in 15 years, and think... "man my dad was a badass!"

It makes me wish I'd have catalogued my long rides.

Have you ever read Long Way Round?

Kershaw Chive is my favorite actual pocket knife. I love the brand and their speedsafe opening. When I was a little younger and thought I needed a protection pocket knife I bought a 4.5 inch bladed Kershaw that they seem to have stopped making.

I generally only ever have my keys, phone, and this.

I'm in school so I just store my wallet in my backpack since I only need it maybe once or twice a day.

I've been looking to pick up a few motorcycle-based books lately. So far I've come up with Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and Hell's Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga. Are there any other books you guys would recommend?
