    Mini spoon knife

    Ok I must admit I am curious about what a deseeding spoon looks like and how it works. I just can't picture it in action.

    Bear Grylls & Rob Bayley Split Up!?

    Hey we Americans aren't all that bad... Oh you've seen Fox News.... Never mind. Maybe it was a mutual decision since he could not deliver in a timely manor? Maybe he dropped Bear because Bear was asking for too much of cut? Or maybe Bear saw the $ in doing a mass production model? It...

    "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. " Henry David Thoreau For me nobody was as ahead of his times as Henry David...

    Alone in the Wild

    Being out and knowing you could get to other people within an hour or two is not the same mindset as knowing you have a two or three day hike to find help. To be so isolated you don't even see any power lines, airplanes, or any signs of humans ever being there before. That is not being...

    How to Set Fire to Sixty Two 7 & 8 Year Olds

    I see that as an opportunity to say something about how using every bit of the animal is how our ancestors would have done things and as long as we do the same and keep traditions alive we are honoring them in a way people who buy their meat from the store never can.

    Alone in the Wild

    He was crying on day three. Really? Now I can imagine how hard three months would be but three days is just a nice get away. I love being alone with my thoughts for three days. I wish I could do it more often. I am ok with the premise that he is close to people but still living on his...

    Alone in the Wild

    Well that sucks. I can't access the show from a US IP address. I guess I will have to see if I can find a UK proxy to use.

    POLL: Should bushcraft get professional?

    I vote no. Can't there be anything in my life that no one tries to consumerize? I feel like we suffer enough from afluenza as it is.

    Wilson Tactical Monkey Fist

    You want a good laugh they cost us three cents a piece to make. There has been talk for years to do away with them. A sock full of nickles would have to cost a little more.

    Svord peasant knife for sale at Heinnie

    I have to agree. It seems to me that common usage in the knife business is high carbon is not stainless and stainless is never called high carbon.

    Wilson Tactical Monkey Fist

    I had to look that one up. :) I imagine with a sock full of those I could retire and build that log cabin in the Rockies I always wanted.

    Survival v Bushcraft?

    Greg, I think this is an astute observation. After discovering Ray Mears and this forum I was a bit surprised at the UK preference for such a small blade. When I was around 12 or 13 I had the pleasure of being introduced to a friends uncle who was a Blackfoot Native American. One of the many...

    Traditional kit...

    I agree 100%. If you have ever seen a pair of Inuit boots made by someone who has made 100s of pairs for their family over the years you will know that skill is beyond just sewing some leather bits together. There is a fine line between buying into an image and wanting to use traditional...

    Panic Attacks in woods

    Have you ever heard a jack rabbit screaming at 2:00 am as a coyote is killing it? It sounds like a banshee is coming to get you. There will be no more sleeping after that. We have black bears, wolfs, and coyotes in MI. Probably the wolf is the most dangerous of the three because they are...

    Bushcraft or re-enactment

    I won't defend bushcraft because that just seems to lend credibility to the troll. But the discussion of consumerism is worthwhile. Not because those folks are not real buscrafters but because they need to realize that the psychology of marketing is getting them to unnecessarily buy products...
