    Sweden - Pathfinder Survival Course with Dave Canterbury

    Definitely kicking a dead horse here now, but I’ll make this doubly clear - this event was not just an American guy giving a course in Sweden, it was run by locals and attended by locals and was delivered well and considerately. A talk was given on leave no trace (by a local outdoor...

    Tight fitting outdoor trousers for men?

    There are a few brands that do leggings for hunting, they are quite popular among deer stalkers in some places. I've never taken enough notice of brands, but it might give you something to google. Alternatively, you could have a good tailor alter your trousers to your preferred fit.

    stick tang bushlore clone style knife

    Have a look at Brisa.fi. They’ve just released a scandi stick-tang in elmax that would fit your description.

    Garberg?

    I recently handled and used one briefly and it was comfortable, robust and seemed well thought out. If you like full-tang, stainless scandi knives it is a solid option that is probably worth the price. Mora kind of shot themselves in the foot with the pricing of their low-end knives making it...

    Sweden - Pathfinder Survival Course with Dave Canterbury

    I'll be sure to pass the info on to the organisers who supervised everything, one of whom is a Swedish lawyer so I'm sure he'll find it interesting.

    Sweden - Pathfinder Survival Course with Dave Canterbury

    I think the plan is for the March issue, Bear.

    Sweden - Pathfinder Survival Course with Dave Canterbury

    It was great to test oneself in all the challenges, but I think the best thing for me was learning that you can spend a comfortable few nights in the wild with minimal gear by chooosing the right items and relying on your knowledge and skills. It was quite liberating.

    Sweden - Pathfinder Survival Course with Dave Canterbury

    If you have any other questions, Corso, I'll do my best to answer them. It was an awesome experience, Samon. I'm 6'1" to give you a bit of scale;) As for patience, the older I get the more I try to have. I just try to assume people mean well and give the benefit of the doubt where I can. It...

    Sweden - Pathfinder Survival Course with Dave Canterbury

    For the 15 minute excercise a simple lean-to tarp setup with a ridge line was used. It was made clear, of course, that this is just a basic 'get the worst of the rain off you' setup. The reflective side of the grabber is faced down to reflect the heat of the fire onto to make for a more...

    Logging saw restoration.

    Lovely saws. Hope you get good use from them :)

    Sweden - Pathfinder Survival Course with Dave Canterbury

    Thanks Corso. It was good fun throughout and nobody was taking things so seriously that the fun disappeared. Dave is big on the 'possum' mentality and encouraged us to collect tinder throughout the course a the type of thing you might do hiking to a camp anyway. The idea of the timed...

    Sweden - Pathfinder Survival Course with Dave Canterbury

    :lmao: Janne. Thanks for your opinions. I'll be sure to let the organisers know how you feel when I attend the next course. Just so you know, there was no sleeping bag, but a nice wool blanket, and no pine bows as I'm not of fan of cutting live trees unless absolutely necessary n

    Sweden - Pathfinder Survival Course with Dave Canterbury

    Thank goodness for that. Have a better read of the posts and you might see that the fire on the rock was not claimed to be a quick fire and was the best option available.

    Sweden - Pathfinder Survival Course with Dave Canterbury

    Most of these fires were quickly lit and quickly put out, so no scars. I was quite happy to trust the locals participants and outdoor professionals when it came to their opinion on this. As for fire on rock. I'd much rather do this than dig down in unfamiliar ground and risk scorching peat and...

    Sweden - Pathfinder Survival Course with Dave Canterbury

    You assume wrong. The forest we were camped in was privately owned, we were there with permission from the owners and the area was cleaned up afterwards in line with the 'leave no trace' philosophy. When we were in areas for which the government is responsible we were visited by officials...

    Sweden - Pathfinder Survival Course with Dave Canterbury

    Hi all, I'm just back from Sweden after being sent on a Pathfinder Survival Course thanks to Bushcraft and Survival Skills Magazine and Outcraft canoe centre in Immeln Sweden. I won't do a full write up on this one as I'll be doing an article for the magazine, but I thought you guys might like...

    Rough and ready tinder box pouch.

    I think it looks great. Well done. :)

    Instaling liners on a factory made knife?

    I think it would be easier just to re-handle it. One option to make the grip chunkier is to stitch some wet rawhide around it and let it dry. You can add cord wrap to this too. Of course it would only really look good with natural handle material.

    Ridgeline elite smock latest model?

    I'd have a look at the breathability for both of them and make a decision based on that. That was always the downside of the ridgeline stuff.

    Grey wool shirt?

    I think Bison bushcraft take custom orders now.
