Not referring to distance travelled, but have you pushed or challenged its capabilities ? I love the battery life on my Samsung N210, bought last autumn. 7+ hours of real world use is nice to have on tap, but I wouldn't fancy doing a day's work in front of such a teeny machine too often...

Just spotted this on Strikeforce's eBay page: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BULK-BUY-Box-9-x-Black-Army-30-Litre-Daysacks-NEW-/390315868298?pt=UK_Collectables_Militaria_LE&hash=item5ae0a3808a#ht_536wt_905 £100 buys you 9 brand new unissued 30 litre black daysacks - normal RRP seems to be between...

I mentioned this in another thread and, as I recall, was called a 'git' as a result. I assume this is a bushcraft acronym for something complementary, rather than the more standard use of the word... :) Totally untouched as yet by my own fair (!?!?!?) hand(s), this was what a few minutes of...

I know a lot of us approach bushcraft from very different angles and I guess there are coomon crossover points between all historical periods and most peoples/cultures. For me I have a particular interest in the Native Americans, the Mountain Men of the fur trade era who opened the country...

OK, as per the thread title I am prepared to offer a brand spanking new, never been used laminated stainless Helle Temagami for passaround to BCUK members (provided there is enough interest). In order to take part in this passaround you agree to the following simple rules : All...

A good tool makes the work go easier, faster, safer and, usually, more enjoyably. That’s the Helle Temagami in a nutshell, and I could pretty much end this review right there because this is a hard knife to criticise. Basically, Helle got everything just right with the Temagami and it is...

Rather hypocritically after the full tang V hidden tang discussion I have been making a full tang neck knife this afternoon :rolleyes: Full tang, full flat grind with a secondary bevel, 6 and 7/8" OAL with a 2 and 3/4" cutting edge, 1/8" thick (ish): After five minutes in ferric chloride, to...

Over 18 years of age only !!! Air rifle number two up for sale, to make some cabinet room: Single shot .22 calibre Webley Raider About as mint as a mint thing, this has been in storage since it was first bought new and about three weeks ago (when I rediscovered the fact that I still had...

Over 18 years of age only !!! My gun cabinets are too crowded due to recent acquisitions so I am selling a couple of air rifles to make some room. Up first is one I never thought I would part with but, quite simply, my most recent purchase (another highly tuned .177 HW95K :rolleyes: )...

I took a couple of friends out recently and noticed a few things that I thought I'd mention: 1. a: Noise - lots of shouting and yelling, often when simply raising the voice slightly would have been enough. 1. b: Noise - lots of crashing and cracking of large branches. 1. c: Noise -...

I'm sure these knives need no introduction. This particular one has been in the side pocket of my climbing sack for the last 4 years and, as far as I can remember, it hasn't ever been used to cut anything. As is my habit, I tend to buy two (sometimes more) of any bit of kit that I...

... seeks new partner for long-term relationship, fun, and maybe more. Swings both ways, used to the continuous highs and lows of working life; adventurous and keen, requires firm but gentle TLC and will fulfil your wildest dreams if handled nicely. Subtle, elegant, practical; wears a leather...

This has been playing on my mind a bit recently on the back of a conversation I had with a Scandinavian knifemaker friend of mine of mine. He asked which UK bushcraft events would be the best for him to attend and I hadn’t got a clue what to tell him, so I’m asking you lot. Now, put your...

Just finished watching it again (seriously) and it brought back a LOT of memories from my misspent youth :rolleyes: So hammy and OTT, and sooooooooo much fun ;) The fluorescent 'magic' ping pong balls were particularly noteworthy... :lmao::lmao::lmao: What cinema/video/DVD sins will...

Right - I will cover the delivery on these and whoever wants them should post here in the thread first and then follow up by PM. I will check in later this evening or tomorrow and confirm the details with the individuals concerned and I can mail stuff out on Monday, assuming anyone wants this...

Some thieving scoundrel lifted my GB Wildlife and Mini axes last month. Every time I try to get on one of the group buys for one of Cegga's axes I never manage to make the list and I have too much on over the next few months making knives to take time out to forge a new mini axe, so... ...

I've been revisiting an old friend recently by laminating W1 with wrought iron sides in a simple three layer arrangement and I'd forgotten what a superb steel W1 is. In this day and age of fad and fashion regarding the various so-called super steels it was refreshing to go back to a more...

Recently, in a couple of threads, issues with handle scales were mentioned. Here are two knives of three knives that I currently own where the scales have lifted from the tang, separating from it: The third knife is not pictured but is made by a very good and well known UK...

What’s everyone up to ? What plans are afoot ? To kick things off, I hope to get two bamboo backed Ipe longbows floor tillered and glued up. I need to make bowstrings for a couple of almost finished longbows and I have a set of arrows to fletch, and a Yew log to split as well. I also...
