I have the Spyderco BushcraftUK and the Bark River Bushcrafter. They are pretty similar in size as far as handle and blade length. I have to agree that the Spyderco handle is far better and more comfortable than the Bark River. When I first got my Bark River and had a chance to use it, I decided...

Hi, I'm considering purchasing the Bergans Morgedal Backcountry Anorak and was wondering if anyone here could provide a little bit of input to help me decide which size I would need. I don't have any experience with the brand and I know that sizing can differ a little between different...

I've never done it myself, but while in the Army I knew several people that took their poncho liners to some of the local alterations shops off post and had a zipper added to turn into a lightweight sleeping bag. They used it in the summer and mild weather so that they didn't have to pack the...

I was wondering if anyone could offer a little feedback on their experience with the Karrimor SF Sabre 45, which I'm looking at it to serve a specific purpose. I have several Osprey packs, which I really like and don't see anything changing that as my choice for backpacking. But, I'm looking at...

If cutting lots of wood for heat and other purposes, I would very much agree with the suggestion of a chainsaw, and would happily pack in gasoline to keep it going. A lot easier and would free up tons of time to pursue other projects. But, you appear to be strongly opposed to a chainsaw, so I...

Looks like a great grill that would be perfect around the house. I think I'll have to see if I can find one similar over here.

Hello from KY.

I have no experience with numbers 1 or 2. But, of the many different brands of socks that I've tried over the years, Darn Tough are my favorite. They have a variety of different style socks for your needs, and offer an impressive guarantee of their product.

I've pretty much exclusively carried a puukko for the past few years, except when backpacking. But, as far as non-scandi knives, these are my favorite and go to knives. Both are convex grinds. Alex Jivan Aberg style knife. A very nice and robust knife that for me, is a great general purpose...

I can't remember the exact one that I have, but I believe it's the Super Light and I've used it a handful of times. I also have the overbag that can be combined with it to take it down to temperatures that I'll likely never see. Living in Kentucky, I've never needed to combine the overbag, but...

I forgot to mention this also as an option. I have this model as well, and it's a nice knife at a reasonable price.https://www.lamnia.com/en/p/5655/knives-and-folding-knives/knives/erapuu-nahkatako

They used to offer this model in both birch bark or leather. I haven't seen the leather one offered in some time, but they may still be available. Personally, I prefer the birch bark over leather.http://www.iisakkijarvenpaa.fi/us/puukot/aito-knife.html

I've been using them for several years, and I really like them. I have used the light cushion, hiker micro crew cushion, full cushion and extra cushion, and I prefer the hiker micro crew cushion whether I'm wearing shoes or boots. At about $20 per pair, they are a little pricey, but they are...

I have knives with a wide variety of different handle materials, and I feel that each is appealing in their own way and some are better than others for certain applications. Appearance wise, I really like the looks of desert ironwood burl, plus it's really tough. But for feel and function, I...

I'm not sure how much weight you'll be packing or how far you'll be traveling, but I have a Maxpedition Condor II and I would recommend not using it if you're going to be carrying a lot of gear, a decent amount of weight or traveling very far. I've found that it's best used as a day pack when...

I had a similar issue a year or so ago shipping a bow to someone in the UK. I looked on the US Postal Service website and the shipping restrictions were a little confusing, but it seemed like the bow was within the limits. So, after getting it all boxed up, I went to the nearest post office only...
