Hi All. Just wondering if anyone has experience of using a Scottish Dirk as a bushcraft tool? I don't mean the ceremonial pipers type of blade but the older versions that have evolved from the bollock daggers from our European cousins. Other countries have their speciality big blades (Leuku...

We Geocache as a family. As others have said, it make a "Boring" walk more interesting for kids. We only started in January but have found 96 so far. Not hidden any yet. I have been surprised at the number of beautiful walks locally that I never knew were local to us. Not very bushcrafty i...

My keys. I always have them with me. I have my car and door keys attached to a True utility keyring There is also a True utility fire stash lighter, a Swiss-Tech utili-key, a Niteize zipit light , a large dog lead clip and a large Bison stash container with a mini survival kit inside...

I found this one while browsing yesterday and it made me smile. http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f243/landscaping-x-kilt-64170/ Bushcraft Kilt if ever I saw one! If I locate the plans, I may have a go.

I just got a Nitecore D11 v2 and a Zebralight H51 for my son. I could barely choose between them so got them both so I could "borrow" the lads. Now the hard part. Telling the missus! Wish me Luck

Hi All. As the title suggests, My much used but rarely photographed brew set. My Solo brew kit all safely stored in its travel sock. Contents with my water flask and ring of tools set. My homemade one cup meths burner. It is based on the concept I found on the...

I'm impressed! Makes mine look pathetic! Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Hi all. Whilst out shopping with family today, I noticed that checked shirts and jeans seem to be this autumn and winters choice of fashionable wear. Yipee! Cos I got a wardrobe full.

Hi all. I have been toying with the idea of carving a woodspirit for a while and thought that learning to draw one first would probably help. I have been doodling away on any bits of paper or card lying around at work. Anyway, whilst sat talking to colleagues at work, I was doodling on...

Trolley Punting. Whilst working security and a factory that was being de-commissioned, I decided that walking to do the rounds was so last year and decided to ride a trolley with caster wheels whilst pushing myself with an old mop. I even talked the next shift in to having a race before we...

Noel Wass. He was my next door neighbor when i was a young lad and was the biggest hearted gentlest man I have ever known. He showed me how to release my imagination. Jackie Chan. The drive and discipline to reach and achieve, and have fun on the way, is a very worth while lesson...

Google Geocaching micro cache. My wife and I both have them on our keyrings with migraine medication within. Good and waterproof. I also got a large Bison micro cache and carry a wire saw, matches, fishing line and hooks, needle and thread and two cotton wool balls in it. I think it was from uk...

I have on of those smart coffee presses and I like it. However, I saw this when shopping the other day and now NEED one. http://www.johnlewis.com/230667054/Product.aspx

That is beautiful. My wife has just informed me that I now need one to complete my outfit for our forthcoming blessing. Any representations I have made about not having the skill do do this are being ignored and i'm getting the "LOOK". I had hoped she would be content with my, soon to be, home...

I shave using a cut throat razor and take great care with the edge. I cut with the knife and keep it sharp enough to cut well. It doesn't need to be as sharp as the razor.

Don't have to many myself. There are a couple missing from this pic. I have since handled my first two blades and I am in the process of handling a third.

I take my penny whistle but get moaned at by the second tune. I only know 1. After reading a thread on here about instruments, I have purchased a stick dulcimer and I am currently banished from playing when the wife, kids or neighbors are in. Everyones a critic.

I always have a book and a leather pouch with Dice in if I feel sociable. I also take my MP3 player but I never listen to it. You think I'd of stopped taking it but it seems to be like a comfort blanket.

Thanks all for the replies. I was thinking up to £20ish. I know they will grow and their skills will improve so I am reluctant to spend to much at a young age. But I was thinking Neck knife so that they would still use it when they are older. Brusletto Balder is a nice knife but I am...

Hi all. I'm looking to get knives for my three kids. They are aged 11, 10(girls) & 8(boy) They have already got Opinel safety folders which they love using when in the garden or on holiday but to watch them using them, I know it is only a matter of time before the blade is left unlocked...
