Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Nice reworking stu on that chopper! Rustic charm that looks like a good workhorse! Have you asked the guys on Britishblades forum who the maker is? I bet one of them will know!
Did you put the handle on? It looks original to me!

Thanks bud, the chopers all original, handle was split but got over that with epoxy and tyraps, lol.... I did nto think about BB, , may just do that
BB is where I've been hiding out since the last meet! Been gathering ideas together, for a handle design I'm doing on an Eklund Nordic blade I bought ages back!
Tough bunch to please on BB, specially the Scandi traditionalist lot!

makes for good sport if your bored too
I dare you to post that on BB! Lol that would surely start a huge debate over there! Lol
So my opening post would be...
"I was Dared by Wolfcrafter to post that a Knife is just a tool...."
LOL
Yup. Power and water are both back... Internet seems to be holding steady, generator is packed away safely (with fuel to spare, in fact) and most of the problematic trees on our estate have been made safe (I was out yesterday helping to clear them out... got some good photos too)
I'll be able to attend the meet this weekend, now that the Mrs wouldn't have to learn how to do hot-refueling on the generator.
Just as a reminder I still have not got an OK from the landowner about Access to the Woods by Car, so Access is still as per Last Month, by foot Only.
The route round to the woods is NOT Car freindly when Dry so I dont know what it will be like when wet...
I want to Catch Up with the land owner this weekend to have a chat about a few things and set next years dates. so will speak to him about access then.
Thank you for your attention in this.
I will be taking the Disco in for Emergencys, I have also asked Colin to Take his 4x4 down as well... of course thats if he wants.. so we should have enough ways of getting any heavy gear down there, liek chain saws/axes.. ect, thats of course if Colin dont mind.

Happy Days
I hope so...
BTW, do you fancy Sunday Week... 10th Nov... for a play with the Bows... No doubt Steve will pop in soon and be up for it
I just want to mention this so it doesn't come as a shock to anyone... and of course I don't know how hard the group meet site was hit by the storm... but anyway:
Keep in mind that there are a LOT of downed trees out there, and large detached limbs hanging from the higher branches of trees!
Exercise great caution when entering the woodland (not to mention en-route to the site). Scout the trees above and around your intended pitch site carefully before even setting down your pack.
Again, no idea what we'll find when we get there, but I feel it has to be said!
