I an trying to find someone to teach a group how to flint knap in the Manchester area. If anyone can help, please, drop me a line and we can talk terms.

You know, sometimes an extra mind on an idea works wonders. Thank you for the thought... and the link hidden in the picture. (the joys of drag'n'drop) The project begins anew with the cry of "TO THE SHOP!"

Very similar. Most "long knives" I find are too deep in the blade or the points are the wrong shape or the handles are too 'eavy. I just wanted a long knife that would feel nice in my hand. I have the cold steel shanghai shadow and its nice. I like it as a work blade as the weight and handle...

Ok the design below is a VERY ROUGH idea I had. All I need is a 2' (approx) bar of half decent metal. I'd be after nothing too hard because all sharpening would probably be done in the field so softer steel perhaps (?Any help with the metal here?) and if anyone has something fitting in theirs...

I have a butchers knife that I found in a car boot sale. It looked sad and lonely and I decided that I would rescue him. He has been cleaned and sharpened and I am awaiting some paracord to wrap his handle; I took the old handle off. It wasn't doing the blade any justice. Any way; Now you know...

I got the armolite billies in the post today. Thank you. They are far and away better than I thought they'd be. I would highly recommend you to anyone who asks. Again, thanks ;)

I have seen in other forums the idea of a sticky thread for feedback of sales/trades. Imagine if you will, a threat for the trade blankets but with all the reviews in one place. Now I know people already put reviews in sales in question E.G. "I bought this item from this guy and it was good"...

On a side note to my other post. if you're feeling crafty try making an oil lamp from clay (CHEAP cat litter is simply shredded clay £1 a bag) and bake it in the oven. it need not be perfect. For the shape just try copying the below pic. For the fuel,,, well here comes the craft part. 1) trim...

I think you'll like this idea, I saw it on a survival site and tested it, it actually works! 1) take an old Tabasco sauce bottle and wash it out (I use the 12 floz bottles). As the sauce is vinegar based water will be enough to clean it. No need for soap. 2) place somewhere warn to dry...

I have the uco tea light lantern and I use home made bees wax tealights. I have some good news and some bad. Lantern: Good:Small, holds 2 tea lights, collapses. Bad: you need to wait a while after use to colapse it because it gets VERY hot! If you crack the glass it gets hard to replace...

Hi there. Are the billys still up for grabs?

may I suggest a few air holes? After all, A fire needs air. A few 10mm holes 20-30mm up along the sides should suffice, say, about 6-8 of them just on the sides. After a few minutes of running science will take over. As the hot air rises through the flue it will draw cold clean air in via these...

10 sachets £1. 1 sachet makes 1/2 a litre and is the size of your index finger. ATM they only have lemon but they regularly get orange, lemon, black currant, tropical and purple. I randomly found these because I was looking for MRE packs; they have them sometimes under "de-identified" products...

If we hit TEOTWAWKI you are more than welcome to borrow it ;)

Having gone here with the cubs AND scouts I can tell you it is fantastic. My best memory is cooking an egg inside a spud on the coals of a fire while star gazing and chillaxing in my bivouac. It is 2 miles from where I went to school and I spent MANY a night here as a child. It's fun. Alas...

Hypothetically speaking, they're good. They're perfect for a BOB or INCH bag.

1st thought "is that a wooden labret stud?" 2nd thought "That Is well made. Excellent work there." 3rd thought "A hollowed out core would be good for gubbins 'n' stuff" Finally "legalities of fishing? what, you need a license or something to fish now? I thought they were called "public...

I am 33YO and have NEVER heard of this device before. Amazon, here I come! Oh btw,,,, thank you for educating me.

The orange handle is used on the Bear grylls gear,,, and,,, they're rubbish. I wouldn't buy one as I wouldn't trust it. There are numerous reports of metal failure and I believe they recalled the knife at one point. You should spend the $300 on good quality axe, knife and long blade. As a...

As you can't sell weapons on ebay you need to find other ways to list things. i.e. cold steel spike tomahawk becomes cold steel camping hatchet etc. what you have here my friend is a Japanese war axe. the reason for the excessive haft is that it was used from horseback. There aint nothin I...
