Very excited to see this moving forward. I've been following this thread from the start :). looking forward to hearing from Endicotts on this. To avoid confusion, I'm on the list as kpmoloney at 23. I had my forum handle changed to match my handle on bushcraftusa.

I'm afraid I haven't been around BCUK much in awhile, being busy with work. I'm excited to see this is back up and running. I had my name changed on the board to match my name on BC-USA. I am kpmoloney, number 23 on the list. Still very interested in getting one of these made.

could be a gem, could be a dud. I wouldn't buy something unless the seller could show me the makers mark.

Bocote is a beautiful hardwood. Off the top of my head, it is about as dense as say rosewood or walnut. Not the absolute most durable wood but it will work. It will on the other hand shrink and expand with moisture like all woods. ocher SPALTED maple burl is very nice to look at. It's been dyed...

I can attest to it being true. I've had quite a few rocks explode on me in the fire, not necessarily violently enough to do any harm but it really does pucker up your butt hole when it goes. Don't think because a rock appears non-porous that it won't explode. Stone may absorb water slower the...

All of you guys using LPG non-refillable canister stoves need to see the light that is Naptha! Refillable canisters, maintains as high a pressure as you want even if it's almost empty, Works in the cold, more bang for your grams, you don't have to bring more than one canister on long trips...

Hello from Canada. I don't know much at all about canoeing in the UK. However, I've been canoeing in Canada since I was old enough to pick up a miniature sized paddle! As far as kit goes, you want to stay light, as most canoe routes will require some portaging at some point, and you'll have...

I have an msr simmerlite stove. I assume when you say canister you mean the ones that you buy full and toss when empty? Anyway for your question I would say that off canister is better, with legs instead of a canister base it's much more stable on uneven ground. However, all folded up the on top...

The Dakota fire hole will do the job, but will never be completely smokeless. What the horizontal hole does is add air to the fuel, just like your car's fuel injection add's fuel to the air. For best results face your hole towards the direction of wind travel, and feeding the base of your fire...

All I ever bring with me is small strop. A small 2" by about 5 " piece of wood with leather glued on both sides and some green and black sharpening compound (bark river). After I use the knife(s) for a while or at the end of a day I'll give them a strop. To be honest I barely ever end up having...

Those are all excellent uses, I especially like the trout over a fire idea. I've made these in the past as well. I made two and some cordage, then stuffed dry fall leaves and made a sandwich of sorts that was compressed with the cordage at four points. I used it as an insulating door cover to a...

I've done some reading up on goose down as well. I made the choice to stick with high quality synthetic fill for the reasons of ethics, cost and warmth when wet. The reading I've done is all only on the web and I only skimmed the surface of the information that's out there. What I read suggested...

I personally own a bark river aurora knife and use it as my main woods knife. I've used that knife for everything that a knife should ever be put through, Including the mors kochanski strength test where the knife is driven into a tree tip first and you use the handle as a step ladder rung...

Hey guys, I've noticed quite a bit on this forum that folks from the UK often use the term crooked knife interchangeably with the spoon knife or hook knife. Crooked knives are traditional woodworking tools I believe originating here in Canada. I have no idea how to post pictures, so here's a...
