I bought a Helikon weatherproof poncho today, mainly for use when I'm fishing in the rain. But naturally in the back of my mind I was thinking it would be good for camping in the rain too as it can be used as a poncho or a tarp. But then I had an after thought: do 'ripstop' polyester and...

Can you ever have enough knives? I think not. These two came home today, with a Ferrorod too just for luck.. The folding fillet was a bargain (I think), £6 as there's an mfg defect with the batch; the stamping is wrong. Gerber was £26, and the ferro £9. Happy days

My dear old Nan passed away nearly 8 years ago. Anyhoo the other day my dad gave me 'her old chopper' that he'd found knocking around the garage. (Tennis ball for scale ;) ) It's a 2 1/4 lb-er that she used it for chopping wood for the fire and I love that the back of the axe head is...

I've seen a few guys on YouTube carrying their fire making kit in a leather draw string bag. Could I use an old chamois to DIY one of these do you reckon? Or would it need to be a thicker piece to make it water proof? Like music? Own a beard? Music for beards...

Is there much about in shropshire for getting out in the bush? I'm in Newport on the shropshire / Staffordshire border, and being a newb I'm keen to learn from a group rather than going solo straight away. Who needs an apprentice? Like music? Own a beard? Music for beards...

I've been looking at some of the lovely knives you guys have on here, esp the homemade ones. Seriously they're like works of art, beautiful craftsmanship. But it got me wondering. Are they too good use in the wild for fear of wrecking or loosing them? Fer example: if I lost a £20 Gerber in the...

Afternoon all, a complete newbie reporting in. I've never rough camped, wasn't a scout, never slept rough, and yes I do have lovely fingernails. But now I want to build shelters, make fire, and kill it n' eat it. Am I in the right place? :)
