Thanks a lot for the thoughts, I'll have a good think about it!

Hi guys, So long story short, it's not without excitement I can say I'm turning 18 in 5 days time (the 18th), and upon my parents asking whether there was anything I wanted for this fairly landmark birthday, I said a bushcraft knife. Obviously, knives can be insanely expensive, and I...

Good point :lmao: I'll PM my name now.

Hi, I'll take that please! :) On offer from me is either: - Size 8 (medium) MOD leather combat gloves in desert dpm - great feeling leather just in the wrong colour for me! Slight existing leather creases but overall great condition. - Size 10 (large) MOD mark 2 black leather combat...

Probably should have told his parents so they didn't worry but I can totally understand what he did.. Good guy!

I used to run every once in while with my alice pack and 15kg (about 33lb it think?) overall weight just for fun and I found the suspension system was actually really comfortable when running (surprisingly) as it's waist belt moves independently of the actual pack, but modern options are...

ah it's okay, this kit is too nice to haggle on anyway, good luck with the sale and have a free bump.

I don't suppose I can make you an offer on the kit without the saw? I absolutely love the kit (I've been looking for a traditional looking good flint and steel set) and it's leather pouch but I don't quite have money for it to spend £45. I understand if it's no :) Regards, Repperz

Kind of begs the question why don't plane seats faces backwards, is there a good reason? Maybe during takeoff acceleration having a back makes it way more comfortable?

Haha woops good point got a little confused there! :P

Sorry to waste time on a for sale thread but is there a fine edge version of this by any chance?

Hey listen man, I don't mean to be a **** here but I think you were over-reacting a little bit. I mean, you posted saying how beautiful this knife was and the first two comments were: Wayland: 'It is, but I'm not sure I'd want to give it any use though.' Goatboy: 'It is lovely, and I...

To be honest, I am far from a bushcraft expert (I'm sure one will be along shortly to correct me/ give you better advice), but I do a fair amount of minimalist bushcraft camping in british woods and so will try answer your question. 1. Personally I would pick the second area for my camp but I...

You probably already know but you can find a lot of answers to this kind of thing on the army rumour service forums (ARRSE.com), helped me out a lot while I was considering joining

Reckon this should be a sticky for a while - people need to know. Seriously appreciate the heads up and good on you for checking :)

Welcome to the forum mate :)

Ah sorry my bad only seen the first one so far, they were all sitting around complaining of thirst and hunger and all i could think was 'pretty sure there are coconuts over there', cheers for setting me straight on that. I agree i guess its just poor editing, maybe they're trying to focus on...

Can someone answer a question for me? I was reading an island survival book some time ago and it was going on about how great coconuts are from a survival point of view as they provide both food and liquid, the only disadvantage being more than two a day has a large laxative effect. So the...
