    A couple of days in the Lakes

    I went to the Lakes last weekend for the first time - bearing in mind I'm from the Somerset levels, it was truly awesome (in the proper sense of the word, not the Americanism!!). Some of the views literally made me well-up. It's a long way from me but I'll be going there many more times in the...

    PLCE Bayonet Frog

    Just a random thought - does anyone know if a Mora Clipper/Companion etc. in its plastic sheath would fit nicely in a PLCE bayonet frog? I really dislike the belt "clip" on the Mora sheath and I've been toying with making a leather sheath but if a £5 bit of kit will suffice, I'd rather use that...

    snatched moments of bushcraft

    I don't see bushcraft as an activity in itself. I see it as a set of skills, knowledge and awareness of the natural world that in times gone by made life possible or even comfortable. I'm far from being an expert in any of these things but it always makes me happy when i can employ something...

    Article: Nite Ize Figure 9 Rope Tighteners

    I'm sure they're very effective but there are loads of knots that can replace it - unless I'm missing something? The knots are probably easier to tie that that thing is to set up! Googling "guy line knots" comes back with loads of ideas. Each to their own of course, it just seems like over...

    What's your long term project for this year?

    For me - continue the endless quest of being able to really enjoy the outdoors in an over populated, over farmed, over legislated south west.... On a more positive and less whingy note - go to Scotland and climb Ben Nevis.

    Wonderful Weather Photographs

    Beautiful pictures. To my inexperienced eye, a lot of them look to be HDR images? Would you agree? Or just high saturation?

    Ray mears :(

    Not that I would attempt to speak for anyone else but RM has always said that the reason he got into Bushcraft was because he wanted to get closer to wildlife. Therefore I think it's really nice that after years of popularising (is that a word?) bushcraft, he can use his position to get to...

    Rabbits

    I've seen and err dealt with lots of mixy bunnies this year. However, everytime I go out there's still an abundance of perfectly healthy (and juicy) ones hopping about.

    American Hobo inspired by Wayland

    Nice! That's single handedly convinced me to make one myself. I'm unashamedly going to rip off the design too! Would this be the same canister you used for the stove? It's 15.5cm x 12.5cm Asda Bicuit Can Thanks
