I'd like to draw on the collective knowledge of this fine forum bwfore purchasing a dutch oven. I don't know much about them. I've used an alluminium one, but not cast iron. However, I have had cast iron pns in the past and found cleaning a bit awkward. I'd like something big enough to...

I was re-stocking the med kit in boots yesterday and came across the water to go bottle with built in filter. It was reduced to ten euro and a quick google in the store told me it was worth a try at that price. Does anyone have one and how would you rate it? It claims to get ride of 99% of...

My birthday is coming up soon and I'm being asked what I'd like so I thought it might be time to upgrade my sleeping arrangement I've mostly used cheapy closed cell foam mats, but I'm getting older now so i guess I should be looking after myself a bit more. I was hoping to hear everyone's...

Finished up a few bushcrafty commissions on the last few days. This one is a canvas and leather cover for a Gransfors Bruks Small Forest axe for one of our members. All handmade and stitched using traditional methods. It's always nice hand sewing canvas. It might be tough, but I feel...
