      dirk you lazy bugger!
      😉

      Hunting by spear on the open ocean from kayaks in some of the worst weather on Earth, the Inuits had to be serious about staying dry. And, they found a waterpoof, yet air-permeable material to dress in — seal and whale intestines. Just like inside your guts, these animals need their stomachs to hold liquids in while allowing nutrients to be absorbed into their bodies.

      That’s basically the same idea as Gore-Tex — you stay drier if the material not only keeps rain out, but allows sweat vapour to escape. And the similarities with modern technology didn’t stop there. The inuits made glue from rendered bones to connect and seal the seams between the tissues.

      This method resulted in very effective garments. The inuits tested them by filling them with water and making sure nothing leaked. They were also thin and light. So thin, in fact, that the garments were see-through.

            what i , the effin dyslexic, meant was "kind of" not "king of", sorry.
            but it led us to the >> The King in Thule << ,
            which is a good thing.

                Nice one @Snowy .
                The black o-ring; is it a kind of plug?
                But what about this recess on the left side.
                And if this is standing on a Fire King mug box, it must be pony.

                  Nope, not a plug of any kind (I'll rule it out all together. I was waiting for @Seul to have a guess along those lines, but sometimes it's a little too easy I guess).

                              Nope gents. I picked it up in Japan due to it's unique look. It's oddly practical for what it is, and meets the Japanese aesthetic of pure simplicity and function head on.

                              There's a hint in there. It's not in lingo/word play either. It's useful.

                                            I was serious.

                                            To me it looks like the and of a pencil without the lead and it appears to be a container of sorts held shut by a rubber ring….
