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.
Just Googled Wetterlings as had no idea what that was, looks like they would be the people to learn from.
I found one of my grandads old axes a few weeks ago, It looks a bit knackered, the cutting edge nearest the handle is well worn and the handle is slightly split, next time I see Stu I was going to ask some advice if I would be able to refurb it or if it was too worn out. Its a bit big for a camping axe as the handle is about 1 meter long ish but It would be nice to save it. I don't like waste
oh right, I wasn't sure how far up the axe head was hardened, although I suppose if it was ground too far back, it could always be hardened again. As you can tell I don't know much about axes.

Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
Bring it along to the meet when you come we can look it, and if you fancy a bit of this some time ......
Not drinking for a month, wish me luck!

This is why the two opinel restorations/mods have been on hold until I have more patience and time off from University work!!
How do you carve an axe handle without an axe? I haven't got an axe yet. It's like chicken and egg lol

Most of the guys are on the monthly camp this weekend so you may not get to much feedback at the moment, hand saw, file and knife.

Ok will do
Yeah I know, it's really unfortunate I couldn't come with them because of Uni work etc. Oh well. I had such a short break this xmas
This company retails ration packs, they are the same menu's as the current issue ones as they make them, they can be found cheaper else where but this will give an idea of the menu's, there's 20 normal plus veg and halal options http://www.beyondthebeatentrack.co.uk/ration-pack/24-hour/meat-menus.html
It's very hard to find them cheaper but you can sometimes find them pop on amazon and other sites for around £16 but you have to be quick. It's one of those thigns, they're just expensive.
