Hi all. Been a while since I’ve been on here. Hope you are all well. I’ve recently moved house and on packing up found a long knife or maybe short sword that I think I found in my dads garage about 25 years ago and kept without knowing anything about it. I don’t know if it’s really old or...

I was at a historical re-enactment today and was admiring these cooking fires everyone had. Unfortunately I can't find the website the guys say they were from, reinactment market I think it was. Does anyone recognise these? They seem to be on four legs that are maybe threaded and have...

Mr mears is now selling these on his website https://www.raymears.com/Bushcraft_Product/1310-Vihe-Vaellus-Laavu-Mini-Shelter/ i found a couple of threads from 5 years back on the forum as it seems these have been around in Finland for years does anyone have one? I thought it would make a good...

what is the difference between standard and premium t shirts? is the logo on the front embroidered or printed? cheers

W That was my first thought too Mike. Weren't there supposed to be two handbooks published late 2014? This book does however look stunning. Hope it does get published.

I have a copy of this booklet, pm me your email and I can send you it. It's not really secret but it was only available if you went to the shop at keilder castle.

Hi all, ive been getting out and about with my 2.5 year old son, cooking on a stove and setting up tarps in the woods for an hour or two just in woods with public access. I'd like to do a fuller day with him, maybe set up a proper shelter and have a real camp fire (closely supervised of...

On Sunday I was out walking with my wife and two boys (ages 2.5 years and 6 months) on the riverside path between wylam and Clara vale. I was ahead with the pram and was about to start delving into the undergrowth for birch bark and kindling when I saw the Mrs was talking to a man. I thought he...

Has anyone been to one of these shows yet? Are they any good? Tickets have been released for the one at Gateshead which is in April but I was reading the blurb and it said the show was made up of stories of other peoples survival in extreme circumstances. That sounds a bit like going back to...

First pouch swapped with shack. Second one still available folks.

Hi all, As I've mentioned previously I have two small children. As a consequence I tend to be up early. I've seen a book recently call Art Before Breakfast suggesting people take the time to be creative with art in whatever free time they have, not necessarily before breakfast but you get the...

We use to teach a lot of first aid to the scouts as one of my fellow leaders was very qualified in the subject from leading expeditions etc. They use to complain that they got taught this all in school as well. I remember thinking it was very positive to have first aid on the school curriculum...

Also got a second similar pouch, same size but different belt loops and closure.

I was having a clear out over the weekend and realised I still have these pouches. I haven't used them in a couple of years and doubt I ever will. If they are of any use to anyone please PM me. I'd rather see them used than gathering dust. Open to offers for swaps.

Those are amazing sandbender- everyone should click the link and have a look. I'm inspired, now where did I put that notebook! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I am a property lawyer and I did look at the covenant that woodlands.co.uk put on their sales. I don't think the 28 day restriction was in there, as I understand it it's a planning designation- any more than 28 days camping and you need to register it as a campsite. Any restrictive covenants...

Thanks Red. I should have said that on my keys I have a mini Swiss Army knife and a whistle (from my recent scout leader days). I like the idea of a little ferro rod on my keys and will have a look into that, what kind do you have as I have snapped the thinner small ones in the past.

Hi all, I've been inspired to pick up my leather working tools again by the lovely items and videos on Ian Atkinson leatherwork website. I've previously made myself a belt which I use all the time and cases for my knife and axe as well as three belt pouches one of which I sold and two I still...

My old field archery club made target bosses out of layers of packing foam (same sort of stuff as a foam camping mat) sandwiched together one on top of another and then secured top an bottom with wood all bound round with that plastic cord parcels come secured in which could be tensioned then...
