Dose any one have these boots? I am looking for a good rubber boot that fits the ankle well enough to do some trekking in. I unerstand that no rubber boot will fit as well as leather boots. Right now I have a pair of older lacrosse boots that do fit pretty good. But after many years they now...

I have been on the hunt for a good winter boot with a removable liner that I can walk long distance in. I think I found what I want but does anyone have any experience with this boot? I seen they use them on the Fjallraven Polar expeditions. Any input will be appreciated? Thanks,

I was looking for an outer layer to put over my other clothes when I am not moving. The m90 parka and tousers seem nice but I am worried the parka will be to long. I seen a few threads on the m90 but it is hard to find a picture of anyone actually wearing it. I would appreciat it it if some one...

One thing I like about Ray Mears is that in his words he always put the highest store in Indiginous wisdom. And after he was introduce to the mocotaugan or more commonly called the crooked knife he must have realised what a great tool it is because he continues to use it. I first read of it wile...

][/UR I was shooting my bow at glass bottles today and I got an arrow stuck in this bottle. And it cant be pulled out. Has this happened to anybody? Ok well that did not happen but does anyone know how I got this wooden arrow stuck in this bottle? No glue it is a one piece arrow. Some of...

Yep its me again still looking for a good medium size axe. I have been going to flea markets but all I can find is double bit axes and full size felling axes. So does any one know if Powr Kraft made good axes back in the day? Did they have a good reputation like Collins and Kelly? Thanks...

I was looking around on Ben's Backwoods site and saw this knife. I was thinking of getting one. Does anyone have one of these knives. I do want a carbon steel knife so how is the steel. And what is that hump on the back for? http://www.bensbackwoods.com/servlet/Detail?no=473

I have been looking into a new medium size axe. I have looked at alot of different axe companies and desided that the best axes were made many years ago. I like the old axes because my best axe is an old one. I heard that Collins is a good name and found this axe. What do you think of it? I...

I was just watching Ray Mears in the Arctic on the internet and he said something that kind of bugged me. He said "And if it's(axe) not sharp enough to do that(slicing a peice of paper) then its realy not much use." Does he really beleive that? I dont have nothing against having an axe that...

Does any one have a Wetterlings axe? I have heard alot of good stuff about them and 50 or 60 dollars does not seem to bad for a good quality axe. I have used a 12" axe that I litterly pulled out of the ground(and it is a very good axe with good steel) for many years and cut hardwood trees down...

For those of you who have not followed Torjus' blog you are missing out. It has a ton of very good information and it is very interesting to read. Torjus has started living primitivly, all stone age tools and equipment except for a net and clothing, which is understandable because making...

I just read a part of a book called Primitive skills and crafts... on google books and it has a section talking about Finnish fishing techniques. It talks of a trotline made of pine root. What I wondered is, was this line twisted into string or were pine roots just cleaned of the outer bark and...

I live in The U.S.A and can not watch any of the Ray Mears series. From the bit I see on yotube clips they are very good. Is there a place where I can watch full versions of shows like "world of survival"? Thanks, Mikael

I was watching Going Tribal( I think you guys over in Britan call it Tribe) . It was the epesode when the host went to Africa to live in the jungle with a forest people. They set a unique foot snare that was not described very well. I was interested in learning how to set it so I got some paper...

I have been thinking of getting a new fixed blade knife for a wile now but could not find one with that utilitarian and organic look to it and also a good reputation with a good steel. I came acrost the Ray Mears woodlore knife and I like it. The wood handle the 01 steel the single bevel come...

Hey everyone, This is my first post on this forum. I have not seen anyone on this form using dogbane(maybe I just missed it). It is probably one of the most rot resistient natural fibres I know of. That is why it is my favorite. As far as I know it does not grow in Europe. Here is my primitive...
