It's simply not the case, 'rights' can be changed. One's earnings are an asset yet the government takes a decent chunk of it each month. The trouble is, not enough is taken each month which allows the rich to buy vast amounts of land or other assets.. You don't expect anything for free and nor...

That's just not the case. There are ties other than money that keep these people here. Empirically, as long as it remains financially profitable for them they will stay - even if there is a higher tax burden. You've just rephrased trickle down economics which is a myth. They say the bath the...

If we had a tax system that was less skewed to rich and super rich there would likely be more than enough money to fund such maintenance. A steeper inheritance tax and the closure of the many loopholes for avoiding it (a 100% tax over a certain point) would also go some way to funding it...

Ah yes, you have me. I think Nick Hayes is the Messiah. I think the etymology is less important than what it is accepted to mean now, i.e. not somebody from the nobility or royal family- who incidentally own nearly 2 000 000 acres between them. Inherited, not earned. Or what it is coming to mean...

I would recommend reading 'The Book of Trespass' by Nick Hayes. The way we (the commoners) view ownership has be formulated by hundreds of years of oppression and theft from the aristocracy. People talk of rights and possession as immutable facts but the reality is actually far more nuanced...

I had a go at making a simple sheath for a mora carving knife. No belt loop etc. as I tend to keep it in my pack. Stitching was a bit better than my previous axe sheath. Looks much better than the plastic thing it came with. Mora sheath by . Dugs, on Flickr

Had a go at making an axe sheath for this Wood Tools Carving Axe. Stitching is a bit ropey but learnt a few bits along the way. Axe sheath by . Dugs, on Flickr Axe sheath by . Dugs, on Flickr

Many Thanks, I shall give the bark a go. hopefully it won't be too difficult to get off the tree. I imagine it will be easier to separate from dead wood. Cheers

Hi, long time no post, I recently succeeded in making fire from a bow drill set I put together whilst out in the woods, which has been a long term goal for me. I used nettle cordage which worked well without having to dry it out. This got me thinking about what would be a good cordage for...

Hi I've just got a couple of questions about waterstones. What grit would you sharpen to for different tools? -Your standard workhorse Bushcraft knife? -Skinning Knife -Forest Axe? -Carving Tools? -A Kitchen Knife? How would you progress through the grits? What would you start at...

Thanks for the help. Flattened off the hearth board a bit and got an ember first time. Also ended up using a longer drill. All in the rain ironically.

Cheers, That's what I thought. I've had success with a lime hearthboard before and a willow drill I think. I'm getting plenty of smoke and plenty of dust but no coal. It seems my image isnt posting the link is https://www.dropbox.com/s/cb4qdy75q314kru/20161007_193359.jpg?dl=0

Has anybody had any success with this combination? I'm struggling with it. What other combinations do people find work well?

Myself and a mate will be traveling down from the North West. Looking forward to it. Has anyone got any tips on what to take, or things that we don't need that are provided? Also what is the crack with firewood when we are down there? Thanks

Thanks for the help. I have the small book, maybe I should get the big one too.

Any ideas anyone?

Not sure what was going on there. I changed it to links but you were too quick for me haha.

Hi, I'm pretty new to actually paying attention to the trees around me and was wondering if i could have some help identifying a few. Apologies if this is already on the forum but I couldn't spot it. Thanks in advance So I thought these first two were a type of willow but I'm not sure what...

Thanks for all the replies guys. I managed to get a TBS Boar quite cheap. Seems like a nice knife and I am enjoying using it. Thanks!
