    Duluth Pack ID help please.

    Hi all. Thinking I need to let my Duluth pack go as I’ve not really used it for over a year. Trouble is I don’t know which one it is. In very good nick but has a few stains here & there. Built to last! Any help much appreciated so I can work out a price to ask for it. Thanks in advance.

    Knife making Tuition?

    Hi all. I’m looking for a good one or two day knife making course in the North of England. I went & forged an axe with Dave Budd & totally loved it. Now I want to do one or ideally two kitchen knives for myself in high carbon steel & use some Jabroc for the handles. It’s a six-eight hour drive...

    Back on the tools

    Big thanks to Kepis for posting a willow spoon earlier in the week. Our willow lost a branch a while ago in the storms and I got inspired to go and cut a few pieces to carve. I have some lovely knives, but haven’t used them for ages so apologies to Ben Orford, Nic Westerman & Alf Branch for...

    Ray Mears W/S woodlore

    I have come to the painful conclusion that I need a new engine for my van more than I need my W/S woodlore. I had the original Alan Wood version too at one time, but let it go instead of the Wilkinson Sword because I prefer the weight & feel of the Micarta. I haven’t seen one for sale for a...

    Air Rifles & CO2 pistol

    Seeking a bit of advice from the group. I’m downsizing hugely & amongst the things which will be going are the air guns I inherited from my brother. I was always planning to join an HFT club & use them but nearest one is a long way away now & I have never got around to it. What I have is a Logun...

    Ideas for retired fire hose please?

    I have acquired three rolls of retired fire hose. Looks pretty old so I’m not sure it wouldn’t leak under pressure. Seems a shame not to repurpose it somehow as it is pretty much bomb proof & likely has centuries of life left in it!! Any ideas? Would you like some? If so drop me a message but...

    Extrema Ratio knife.

    I have just acquired a second hand Col Moschin knife by Extrema Ratio and thought I’d share some first impressions. I’ve always liked the look of ER knives but the price is above my curiosity budget so I’ve never had one to play with. This one came up in another group so I pushed the button and...

    Meet up in South Lakes?

    I’m based in Kendal & am wondering if anyone fancies a meet-up in the summer once we can travel again? I’m thinking somewhere like the Swan at Newby Bridge for food/parking/pints and use of their jetty if we want to take to the water. Leave a comment if you may be interested and I’ll try to...

    Israeli trauma field dressings

    I’ve just come across a few of these dated 2016. Are they any good or shall I just bin them? When I was using the axe regularly I used to have them in my bag & in the car but don’t do that much any more so no use to me. Thanks in advance. Simon

    Potassium Permanganate?

    Does anyone carry this in their FAK ? I’ve just found a tin of crystals in my shed.ANCIENT tin but the contents aren’t going to deteriorate apparently. I did a bit of reading & this stuff used to be used as an antiseptic in solution. Anyone else heard of that too? I have quite a lot so if anyone...

    Northern Lights oil lamp

    Hi all. I’ve discovered a Northern Lights Ultralight oil lamp in the utility room & all looks great except no glass. Is it still possible to get these glasses or does one of the UCO ones fit? Not sure if I want to keep it yet but would be good to know if it can be made good again. Cheers, Simon

    Sold TSL Snowshoes. For the larger mountain man.

    1. I have discovered as I delve deep into the hoard that I am the owner of Two pairs of snowshoes! This pair is for sale. I'm keeping the other ones as I think these lighter ones will be easier to sell. They are by reputable maker TSL and I think they must be around six years old. They have only...

    Sold Carving tools.

    I still have far too many carving blades, but I have to let at least some of them go, so this is a start. 1. Ray Iles Sloyd/craft knife perfect for detail, chip carving or spoons. Very sharp and takes a wicked edge. I usually just kept it stropped. The handle is a tiny bit small for me so it has...
