Heads up! I have around 10 nice new shinny Swiss Army Volcano stoves for SALE at this years BUSHMOOT. Along with various over bits and pieces. I appreciate that there have been various group buys for this item: so if you missed out and fancy getting hold of one - see me at the Moot. I...

find kit that can be do more than one job. look at what's necessary, and what's a luxury item - they are usually more trouble than a help listen to your instincts! hope this helps

Just done a tot up from the kit sale: we raised £115 for Help for Heroes. Cheers :You_Rock_ Many thanks to all for buying lots of used, tired, knackered & manky kit again. We raised £15 more than last year: so cheers for digging deep when times are tough, its very much appreciated. I will...

John Muirden's Unbeaten Tracks :D cheers mate

Chaps, I use a "small b@stard" file on both and then wet & dry to hone/polish; sometimes the fine side of a GF axe puck. I don't like too fine an edge as I find the axe gets snagged too easily in resinous timbers. You couldn't shave with either of mine as they are not intended for carving: mine...

Hey mate, great to hear from you. Hope that alls well with you: see you at the moot by the looks of things? Journey well

Cheers Leon: good journey mate.

I have both the Camping axe and the shorter Penobscot Axe: both with the same sized head. The Penobscot helve is about 4" shorter. I would have no hesitation in recommending S&N axes. I find the edge is better set for use in the UK woods that a Gransfors. (I will probably be excommunicated...

Like BR I have used mine for trimming out 2" thick hazel shoots for bent wood shelters, tripods, tent pegs, atlatl darts and throwers. Also: I use mine to help sparking on my fire steel. Using the back edge of the saw blade I can "fluff up" a piece if phat wood; then trap the wood between...

A bird of prey taking off, possible having caught a small rodent

Cheers for this Stuart

Sorry MK-M, Me & Swyn are still on the scene: and there are a few others scratching around from time to time. Check out the thread in this for the New Year Hoot @ Swyn's cheers

Hi Swyn, Please add 1 adult and 2 kids to my "party" (there may be more). These will be camping over. I'd be happy to do a knife safety session for any of the kids/newbies attending. We could do some atlatl making & throwing also for anyone who fancies a go? Breadmaking, storytelling...

Hi Swyn, I'm in and will be happy to do an activity or two :D . Swyn I may mention this to a couple of hand selected families as a day-out idea, if that is OK with you? Also - to all reading this: would there be any interest for another Help for Heroes Fundraiser Kit Sale? This worked well...

Westwind is solid enough: but needs all the pegs to make it secure. I'd seriously suggest a Macpac Minaret or Olympus, Or a Hilleberg Nallo - they don't vent as well as the Macpac (more designed for use in deep snow). The Vango Spirit TBS 250 is not to be sniffed at either. I still own a couple...

Easy tiger ;)

I got my hands on a couple recently. A blinding bit of kit (pun intended, sorry) ;)
