Wow, its been a long time since I was in these parts, its a miracle I remembered my password... Still getting out and about, teaching the boy the ways of the woods now rather than just going out for my own amusement. Archery has taken over the vast amount of my spare time, sat here now looking...

All sorted on the axe front now, so I'm open to offers on a mid to large size folder :) Be quick before I pull the pin on one of those massive Schrade 303's and keep in 'just in case'

I noticed a small hole in the stuff sac when I bought it but for the life of me I couldn't find any damage on the bivi itself, after a lot of looking I've found a small abrasion to the outer fabric on one of the seams on the edge of the bag. This is the best picture I could get. Otherwise...

Did a batch in the good ladies flat a fair few years ago while she was at work, came out a treat, but alas the extractor for the hob wasn't up to the job. Only complete denial saved me (what smell?). She knows I did something, and its still bought up on occasion even now, total denial is still...

I tried to find information on the bag/company and even the mighty Google struggled beyond a few old pictures from ebay, although they looked like the longer MOD versions or hooped jobs. Not much help I know :rolleyes: I'll be posting a few pictures tomorrow....

I've got a mint condition Mountain Range bivi bag in green that I'd like to trade for a trail hawk or Finn bear. The bivi is as far as I can tell unused, no marks that I can find and even felt factory folded when I removed it from its bag to check it, but, having bought it I'm struggling to see...

I've not used a buddy burner since scouts 2 decade ago,we used to add more wicks depending on usage, plus as time went by we worked out we cold add stuff to the wax for more fun, napalm anyone :lmao: Oddly I can't remember what cans we used, they had screw on lids like pipe tobacco tins but I'm...

Thanks for the replies, I thought I'd have to be a bit more methodical than I normally am, mainly so I don't scrap a load of steel. Talking of which, I can see that the choice of metal will be a bit of a head scratcher :rolleyes: hmmm

Hi Folks, Having built a few knives over the past few years (plus a few other little projects, paddles and the like), and side stepping the good ladies request to spend time making something for us/her many times I cant put it off any longer. So a set of steak knives it is as ours are a joke...

Have a look at https://torablades.com/ , I bought a butchers kukri from them (blimey, 2007!! time flies) and it was excellent quality, you may have to wait a while because much of the site is pre-orders. The kiranti looks very nice for £70. Otherwise I'd be looking at the Martindale Golok for...

Oddly enough I picked up a Aldi grinder/bet sander combo yesterday on a whim, £19.99 in the clearance area (I think they were £30), the project list has just expanded no end :rolleyes: Good luck with the new beast, shiny....

The other plus of the dovre is the rubber rand around the boot, the toes (and to a lesser extent the heels) of all my other boots have been cut to ribbons from scrambling on sharp rock and scree, these so far seem immune to such damage :)

My best would be the Meindl Island pros, fantastic things in every way, so high I never felt the need for gaiters and as comfy as slippers, unfortunatly my feet decided to have one last growth spurt at 20 (well could have been the start of middle age spread?) and they became too small, grrr...

Not this idiot, it wasnt a thick piece of wood but looking at it in the morning reminded me of well seasoned scaffolding board, I blame the rum.
