Hi just wanted to spread the word a bit about an event we are having at Sense Valley, Ibstock (a site that will be doubling in size come planting season) this Saturday 10am-3pm. It's called the Big Forest Find and it's FREE to anyone who wants to come along, we're not looking to sign anyone...

Yep, shape of the wings gives it away. Here's a picture of one I saw a couple of weeks ago in Staffordshire for comparison Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

My New year's eve fire, taken at 11.03pm. A large downed ash tree made for a warm night in the woods. Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

Thank you for the wealth of information provided! I have decided to wait untill pay day before purchasing my knife but the Advice on here will definitely help! Why I love this forum! I tend to take out the tools I need from the pick up into the woods (minus a knife...) and cater such to the...

Cheers for the replies, the 92 is exactly the type of knife I'm looking for It is to be used as a bit of a workhorse. It will be well looked after but put through its paces which is why I was looking at the TBS and Helle options. I like the thickness of the blade and the durable feel of these...

Hi, I work in the woods and I'm looking for a new folding knife (with a locking blade) to carry when out in the woods. I was thinking the folding TBS boar as I have the fixed blade version and love it. It will be a general use knife and be carried everyday! I prefer a wooden handle simply on...

Silhouette of the dog at my permission, north Nottinghamshire about 3 weeks ago. Again, Hope this counts as contre-jour! Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

I'm not the biggest fan of seeing shelters when out and about, but as long as they are dismantled at the end of it what's the harm! An easy low cost activity that I'm sure most of us experienced growing up. It is a pity more land owners are not open to allowing bushcraft related activities but...

I spend a lot of time lurking on the forum, couple of times a day with not a great deal of posting but this thread is gold. How do trees calculate square roots? They use log-arithms. Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

It is! I found 3 growing like this directly out of the pine cones which I thought was pretty cool. I think I agree! After reading it seems the gills and lack of a 'fruity' smell suggest it's a false chanterelle. Hopefully be back in the same spot next week to finish a job so I'm going to...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help a fungi newbie with this. I was thinking chanterelle? I found it in a crosican/Scots pine plantation growing underneath a rhodedendran. Any help much appreciated! Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

game in general should make up a bigger part of our diet. I can take or leave squirrel but it's nice to know your eating perhaps the most sustainable meat source in the UK. Venison is another thing we should be eating more of! get to know your local Forestry Commission wildlife ranger and you...

Could not agree more, just use some common sense. the vast majority of police officers are reasonable people who will listen to reasonable arguments. If you come across the odd one that is not, hand over the knife, make a complaint and take it from there. Odds are their supervisor will give it...

cheers for the response I have returned and gathered a small bit for dinner tonight! i fired it with some beer and garlic. was ok, nothing to special has anyone had any luck with chanterelles lately? I have been patrolling all the large beech woodlands close to me and found nothing yet! I...
