    Avatar?

    In my User CP on the avatar page it says 'The maximum size of your custom image is 80 by 80 pixels or 19.5 KB (whichever is smaller).' I assume this is this because I'm not a full member??? It's annoying because if I try to make an avatar I have to set the the size to about 55X55 pixles and the...

    BBc Last Man Standing - Kalaplo - fishing technique

    I was watched that last night, I though it was brilliant!! It was funny how all of the tribe worshiped the big black dude, but he couldn’t even win a fight lol. I’ll definitely watch the rest of the series. Oh, not a clue about the root I’ve only heard about poisoning fish with...

    Making my first knife (easyer than i thought!)

    WOW!! thank you for all the nice comments everyone, I'm glad you all like it. I think you might be right. My first thoughts were that it might be mahogany, but once I started cutting it up it certainly didn’t smell like mahogany. The grain also looked like it could have been eucalyptus but...

    Making my first knife (easyer than i thought!)

    At the work shop:D lol. I'm 19 so I can't afford a lathe myself. My grandfather was an engineer all his life and restores vintage motorcycles in his spare time, He also ran a succesful steel company with his brothers (which has since been sold). I've got access to pretty much any machine you can...

    When did you become interested in Bushcraft?

    I remember becoming 'interested' when I first saw ray mears' country tracks. Then continued to watch all his other programmes as they made them, but I never really wanted to go out and practice bushcraft at that time. Then I saw the first rambo film which sparked my interest in knife collecting...

    Lanyard holes: Do you use yours?

    The only knife I have one on is my Cold Steel S.R.K, so it dosen't fly away from me if I'm chopping smaller wood. My other bigger knives don't have lanyard holes and I personally find they get in the way on smaller knives.

    is this any good??

    The one on ebay appears to have a bent tang. I checked woodlore for you and there is not "out of stock" sign so try them http://www.raymears.com/shop_item_desc.cfm?id=427&itemType=Cutting Tools

    is this any good??

    Well its deffinatly not a fake one. I think they were only around £30 on the woodlore site, but they've long been out of stock. Theres nothing so special about it to justify £60. not to sound rude but if his knives were that good you would think they would be more readly avalible.

    quiet today

    Quiet indeed, only a few people signed in. I found the new site this morning but when I try the usual 'www.bushcraftuk.com' address it takes me to the old site, so I keep having to use my history to find this new one. maybe thats the problem.
