    Kit and the like

    Another thing, people who have money who make stupid threads on various forums, this one included plus countless videos everywhere about cheap bushcraft gear for folk with no money, it's bloody offensive. We are probably the group of people who have the biggest impact on the planet. Just...

    Kit and the like

    When going through this forum i keep noticing the irony of it all. Lot's of people view Bushcraft as a way to get closer to nature, learn skills used by our ancestor and embrace the wee man inside that want's to smash stuff with axes and other sharp stuff and burn stuff. The idea of getting...

    Hypothetical qualification question posed to me.

    There is no real qualifications but just ask yourself what you would wan't from an instructor. http://www.codylundin.com/choosing.html No affiliation etc and that article does seem to bam himself up a little but i agree with it. He doesn't teach survival though he teaches primitive living but...

    When was the last time you cut yourself with a knife? (Not in a self-harming way!)

    Off topic but Lee Child is a legend. I here they are making a movie of One shot with Tom Cruise as Reacher. *** is with that. On topic, Cut myself with an SAK last week, drunkenly i ran my thumb across the blade to see if my sharpening skills were any good, unfortunately they were not too bad.

    three men a badger and a big piece of pork go camping in the rain(pic heavy)

    Only in bushcraft can the answer to a problem involve the use of pointy sticks.

    a new idea for a tool for all bushcrafter,s to enjoy!

    Be very careful brother. From your last post it seems you are just combining two tools that are used everyday. Yet you say that there are companies making both individually? Before you do anything make prototypes and test thoroughly. It may already have been tried and for some reason just...

    'Survival Tin' romance....

    Used to have one but for me i just can't see the point. They are fun to put together though but i think the tin came before the contents. I'd happily swap the whole survival tin for a good sheath knife, some paracord, a poly bag some puritabs and a few fish hooks.SAK

    mora 2000

    What's with the grind change on the 2000? I prefer a full flat grind but i like scandi grinds too. I actually have one don't know why i bought it, maybe because it was sharp, shiny, pointy and had Mora stamped on it.

    Survival Tin, or Mini BC kit?

    In Lofty Wiseman's book he does recommend the baccy tin works in tandem with the mess tin kit. Those two combined would be far better.

    Needing incredibly breathable footware advice.

    My feet sweat like mad tried everything. It causes incredible pain after walking any distance even after changing socks loads. I've tried synthetic and natural socks and find that socks with a good wool content plus a synthtic wicking material is best for me but i can't get footware that...

    Spoon without a spoon knife thing?

    I thought of that but with the size of the bowl on a spoon i think it would be pretty hard to control but next time out i'll give it a go as well as the bowdrill and see where i get.

    Spoon without a spoon knife thing?

    Is there any way of making the bowl without having to by a curvy knife thing? I could obviously just knock up a rough thing with the point of my knife but it wouldn't be very good. I was thinking i could just knock up a bowdrill and use friction to make a bowl. Is there an obvious solution...

    What have you learned recently?

    Can now make a figure 4 mechanism work, Was bored yesterday so did a bit of carving and got it to work. Also learned that a stop cut is a beautifal thing, Also learned that when carving that lots of shallow cuts are better than a few deep. I had read about it before many times but that means...
