    Friction folder advice please

    No disagreement, just clearing it up. You were far more eloquent this time round. And maybe a Lil touchy. We definitely on the same page brother. Trying to slice the top edge with a freshly stropped blade more times than necessary. Just to be sure its scary sharp [emoji380][emoji15][emoji106]...

    Pretty sure slip joints are acceptable. Non locking and under 3 as a rule for UK edc Sent from my FP2 using Tapatalk

    Friction folder advice please

    That would be the case as the new laws for sellers require Id nowadays. But UK knife law does not allow for any fixed or locking knife to be carried without good reason. Have a read. It's surprisingly shallow but direct I guess. Sent from my FP2 using Tapatalk

    Friction folder advice please

    It's really not. It's fixed so regardless of blade length, it falls into illegal territory. The law is vague but that much is clear Sent from my FP2 using Tapatalk

    Friction folder advice please

    The ckrt journeyer is a good knife. Not best build quality but can be locked In to fixed blade via a small pin. Which unfortunately quickly gets lost. I've had that one handed back to me by the ol bill once. But my edc is the Viper Dan 2. Awesome slip joint and is beautiful with the carbon...

    Waterproof to a fault I guess. It has that slightly rubberised feel on inside. I am yet to encounter any out of the ordinary moisture levels so far. But then have only used it in colder conditions where hammock is a cold butt scenario. Sent from my FP2 using Tapatalk

    Hey man, I'm with you on that. Nothing like throwing yourself to the elements to slow things down and focus on what is really important. An idea of self reliance equates to self worth in my eyes. A bit of a human experience. Hammock and bivi wild camping is a soul filling experience. Especially...

    Who told you that? Paratex is exactly like gore tex. Gore tex is a great brand though not the only technology out there. I'm sure there are better options out there. But for the pack size and weight, snugpak sf is a winner Sent from my FP2 using Tapatalk

    Snugpak special forces works well with the corresponding sleeping bag. Center zip is a nice bonus Sent from my FP2 using Tapatalk

    Wild camping site, wales/newport??

    Dartmoor national park is an exception to the rule. Quite a harsh landscape with a lot of no go areas. The military use it for training most of the year so if you fancy a long trek across moorland then Dartmoor is your calling. Not that much woodland which is more my scene. But I've never walked...

    Wild camping site, wales/newport??

    There are plenty of places to wild camp all over wales. A mere walk into any woodland would offer a spot to camp for the night in a leave no trace fashion. The beacons is the go to for resources, water and the like. The huge difference is it is illegal to camp without permission anywhere in the...

    Wild camping site, wales/newport??

    Lone wolf is a great spot. Ian is great and lets campers get on with it. The site has basis chem toilets at the top and he has bored for fresh water available a a couple taps up there. But the real gem is the river Dulais running through the site. Good few trees to hammock up and relatively flat...

    If you don't mind all the nylon, battle belts are great! versatile bits of kits. Lots of webbing for attachment, use mine with my pack as a hip belt as the stock one was useless, if you have a cobra buckle on the belt can be used to repel like a riggers belt. And really doesn't matter if it gets...

    Hi guys. Names Rowen and i'm very new to this forum. Excuse me if i'm breaking any protocol by jumping straight in. I live in Cardiff and am eager to connect with fellow Bushcraft folk in the area. I can vouch for Lonewolf campsite. Have visited a lot and Ian the land owner is a right gem. Nice...
