    Heads up YouTube

    been a longtime since I posted. But, I thought I would mention the return of hobbexp on YouTube. The most 'at home in nature' outdoors man you will ever see! No gucci kit. No overpriced nonsense gimmicks. Just an old cheap mora knife and some improvised tools. Very much recommended.

    Has the bubble burst?

    Just pondering the current state of UK Bushcraft. Would anyone else agree that the hype seems to be dying off a bit nowadays? Personally, I don't think its a bad thing. It might deter some of the more stupid people in society becoming interested in Bushcraft and giving us a bad name...

    Birch oil fail

    tried to distill some birch oil today on my garden chiminea. I think I either cooked it too long. Or let too much gas escape, by putting to many holes in the lid.
