So... err, I take it everyone perished on this challenge then??

I went to the Lakes last weekend for the first time - bearing in mind I'm from the Somerset levels, it was truly awesome (in the proper sense of the word, not the Americanism!!). Some of the views literally made me well-up. It's a long way from me but I'll be going there many more times in the...

Admit it... you did it on purpose didn't you?? Go on, you know you did..

Just a random thought - does anyone know if a Mora Clipper/Companion etc. in its plastic sheath would fit nicely in a PLCE bayonet frog? I really dislike the belt "clip" on the Mora sheath and I've been toying with making a leather sheath but if a £5 bit of kit will suffice, I'd rather use that...

Can I just ask - *** is a "bushcraft tattoo"?

I don't see bushcraft as an activity in itself. I see it as a set of skills, knowledge and awareness of the natural world that in times gone by made life possible or even comfortable. I'm far from being an expert in any of these things but it always makes me happy when i can employ something...

I'm sure they're very effective but there are loads of knots that can replace it - unless I'm missing something? The knots are probably easier to tie that that thing is to set up! Googling "guy line knots" comes back with loads of ideas. Each to their own of course, it just seems like over...

Tee hee... :)

You sir, are a liar. :o:lmao:

For me - continue the endless quest of being able to really enjoy the outdoors in an over populated, over farmed, over legislated south west.... On a more positive and less whingy note - go to Scotland and climb Ben Nevis.

Ah. Didn't think to look at the comments! Good idea.

Beautiful pictures. To my inexperienced eye, a lot of them look to be HDR images? Would you agree? Or just high saturation?

Not that I would attempt to speak for anyone else but RM has always said that the reason he got into Bushcraft was because he wanted to get closer to wildlife. Therefore I think it's really nice that after years of popularising (is that a word?) bushcraft, he can use his position to get to...

I've seen and err dealt with lots of mixy bunnies this year. However, everytime I go out there's still an abundance of perfectly healthy (and juicy) ones hopping about.

Nice! That's single handedly convinced me to make one myself. I'm unashamedly going to rip off the design too! Would this be the same canister you used for the stove? It's 15.5cm x 12.5cm Asda Bicuit Can Thanks

That sounds pretty amazing! I've recently been thinking about how I could move to a nice costal area.. something about yesterday evening (especially) just made me want to go to the beach! Only problem I have is my favourite beach is 45 miles away down a lovely, straight, open but speed camera...

and my thoughts wandered back to my Woodlore Fundamental course in April. I've never forgotten what a mental/emotional challenge the course was and how frustrating some of the tasks were but I've rarely reflected on all the small details that made it such an experience. All the little...

You could have a look at Deerhunter clothing (the brand). I've got the montana jacket which is very comfortable, waterproof, warm and absolutely silent to move about in. They do corresponding trousers which will be all of the above. I think the trousers are about £70 but if they are like the...

I to am from Somerset and have just found out that I have access to a canadian canoe. I've been thinking the very same thing as you and I have concluded that the Wye would be very suitable. I've paddled a kayak there as a kid and it is a lovely place. My dad has done a fair amount of...

Rod, I'd be interested to see the pics... esp the 1cm thick spindle!
