    Recommend: Handmade leather belt for my father in law for Xmas.

    Yo, I'm looking for a high quality handmade leather belt as a present for my father in law. Brown thick leather in a traditional style with a decent brass buckle would be perfect. But I don't know where to buy one and I don't know who the leather guys are on here any more.. Any recommendations...

    Which Silky saw?

    I like the looks of the ultra Accel curve and the big boy. Does anyone have both? Either one particularly better than the other? Any is there a best place to order from? Cheers so far :)

    Which Silky saw?

    Yo, as per title which Silky saw is best? Are all the blades made the same and only differ in length a what I assume is teeth per square inch? Anyway, originally I was looking for a bow saw but I can't find what I'm after for a reasonable price and don't want to make one so I guess I could try...

    Flint and steel + take down bow saw - £50 budget

    I think I might have to make one, it's annoying though as it was going to be a gift to me from my wife. Something I didn't have but thought I could use. Good shout on the gift it on thread, I forgot about that!

    Fresh Rosehips: remove the seeds and itchy fluff now or after dried?

    Yo, I picked a bag of rosehips today. A little late as most were gone or soggy but still enough to have a play with. Now I did a little reading and one person dries them, blends them up and drives out the itchy fur for tea making. But for making syrup and when boiling from fresh.. do I cut them...

    Flint and steel + take down bow saw - £50 budget

    Thanks guys. The wooden bowsaw I did find is similar to the one linked and it doesn't look like blades can be replaced. Not without modifying the saw which I don't mind doing but would rather make one if I have to get the tools out. And I'll check out Beaver bushcraft, their stuff looks good.

    Flint and steel + take down bow saw - £50 budget

    Yo, I have a £50 budget and I'd like to find a nice wooden take down bowsaw and a traditional flint and steel fire lighting starter kit for Xmas. I've only ever had the solid bow saws which are a pita to lug around and I've never used a flint n steel before so don't know what to go for. So far...

    Ground sheet for polish lavvu?

    Thanks for the advice. I assumed there was a go to sheet or something specific. I just remembered I have a waterproof army poncho that although a little rough will work!

    No fire winter camping - Which sleeping bag?

    The bulk of the bag isn't a deal breaker as although I don't drive and carry everything myself I'm not the type to hike miles and miles away and would rather stealth camp where ever suitable. The stealth sale t is also a part of why there may be no fire in some areas. I've got a cheap foam yoga...

    No fire winter camping - Which sleeping bag?

    Yo, what's the deal with winter camping and not having a fire to keep you warm , is there a range of affordable surplus sleeping bags capable of staving off the chills and keeping you cosy? I'd like to close up my new lavvu to keep my dog in/chilly wind out. But I've only got some super cheap...
