Hi, It's coming up for my husbands birthday soon. We are both really into bushcraft stuff and have all the basic equipment, sleeping stuff, good knife, laplander saw, eating utensils, fire lighting equipment etc. We also have loads of bushcrafty books. Any ideas on stuff i can get him would...

Thanks guys. Will get both the books and the DVD i think. Thanks for all your help and info. Those going to the middlewood meet- see you there!

Hi guys! I've seen or read something about a DVD called 'alone in the wilderness'. Apparently it's about a guy who goes out into the wilderness and builds a home and a life out in the wilderness. I've looked on play.com for this but no joy! I've found it on ebay.com and amazon.com but neither...

I agree totally, i wouldn't feel safe sleeping anywhere near those guys. Total idiots!!! It's people like that that make it unsafe (and undesirable) for the rest of us to go into the woods!!!! Where abouts do you live? You could maybe go to one of your local BCUK meets and meet some people...

Where is the midland game fair? What will be going on there?

I did my first aid training when i did my nursing degree, no certificate but hopefully the qualification won't run out!! (We have to do yearly CPR etc at work). Has anyone seen the wilderness medical training programme run in the lake district? It runs over a week and i'm really tempted to do...

I trained in first aid when i did my nursing degree, not got a certificate but hopefully the qualification won't ever run out!!! (Do CPR updates etc every year at work). Has anyone seen the wilderness medical trainning course run in the lake district over a week. I'm really tempted but i...

Hi everyone. Just wondering where everyones favourite place to camp is, and why? Having only camped twice so far i would have to say that mine is a pine forest in Ayre. We were so far from anywhere and the place was very peaceful. We had a huge campfire in a designated stoned off area and...

Thanks Wayland. I haven't, but i will! Nichola

Thanks for the advice. We've got a tarp, sleeping bags, bivvy bags and roll mats. Do you think this will be enough? I could probably borrow a tent off my mum if not?? Just to add to the list of numbers, my husband Paul (dibble on the forum) will also be coming (work permitting). Looking forward...

Great to hear there's a meet so close to where i live! Would love to come, but as i only got into bushcraft about 3 months ago i'm a bit unsure what i will need for a winter camp? Could anyone give me some tips??? Also, will this meet be more for experienced bushcrafters or will it be accessable...

Hi, I live in Penwortham (near Preston). Amazing how many people with the same interests live close by!!

Hi everyone! Thanks so much to everyone for their reply. I've now got my avitar working!! Hurray!!!

Hi everyone. I've been a member of BCUK for about 3 months now. I've noticed that under certain peoples names and picture is a title for example: native and settler. What does this mean? Is it a full member thing? Also, i've got my little pic up on my profile and i can see it when i log in...

Thanks! Will definitely be buying those. Thanks again, Nichola

Hi, does anyone know if you can buy 'tribe' on DVD? I've looked on play.com but no joy! Any info would be great, thanks, Nichola

What a great thread! I have shelves and shelves of books but it looks like i'm going to have to buy a few more. I'm afraid that i too have a Bear Grylls book (again, bought for me as a pressie). Favourite bushcraft books: All of the Tom Brown books (but especially 'the tracker'). Ray...

Has anyone seen 'The Hunted' with Benico del Toro. It's a great action movie and is supposed to be roughly based on Tom Brown's experiences with the armed forces. The extras have a great bit with Tom Brown showing everyone some tracking skills. Not to be missed. Other favourite films...

Thanks Greg, will have a go tonight.
