    A New Knife For My Foraging Adventures

    I have a lot of orange paracord, it’s primarily what I use as it’s most visible in woodland. Anyway, back to the OP’s thread. If you like the P90/P120 it is worth taking a look at Stu’s MuntjaX model too.

    A New Knife For My Foraging Adventures

    Fair one! I don’t return the knife to the sheath when I’m working on a carcass for hygiene reasons (until I’ve finished and cleaned off the blade). The paracord gives me a few options to retain the knife - between the teeth, clutched between palm and pinky finger - for when I need both hands...

    A New Knife For My Foraging Adventures

    Kind of worries me that so many of you are worried about dropping and losing knives. If it’s not in your hand, sheath it. Simple way to not lose a knife. Very nice blade though Mistwalker. I have a P90 Ultralight as my hunting knife, although my picture is nowhere near as great as yours!

    Drop me a message on here next month, I expect shipping to Lithuania is going to be quite costly and my original price is for shipping within the UK only.

    what Budget knife recommendations

    What’s it for? Yes a knife is a tool, but it helps to have the right tool for the job. The more info we have, the more we can help. For example, a Scandi grind blade is great for a lot of bushcraft tasks, but if you’re wanting to do food prep, skin/gralloch critters, butchery in the field etc...

    Greeting from Vilnius, Lithuania!

    Welcome! To Goretex or not to Goretex, that is the question. It’s a double edged sword that’s for sure when it’s really lashing it down. I’m a Meindl fan, but if you want something with a more military feel then check out Altberg. There are lots of other great boot makers out there - Lowa...

    Newbie - Advice on MTB Bergan Hip Support?

    Brilliant! I’m still serving so big respect for doing that. Put the details up if you have a JustGiving page or something along those lines and I’ll make a donation in support. Best of luck, grizz it out and get it done!

    Newbie - Advice on MTB Bergan Hip Support?

    Jay Jays kit is good, but the issued bergen is designed to be worn with belt kit so it won’t be the solution for you. Seriously, get a decent civvy hiking rucksack that has been engineered to fit human beings. Your entire musculoskeletal system will thank you and it’ll save you from looking...

    Orange is the New Black

    As a field archer, I often spend a lot of time looking for arrows (probably says something about my skill level). Throughout the seasons, the colour I’ve found that stands out the most when rooting through the forest floor for arrows is pink - so all my arrows now carry a pink cock feather...

    New hiking boots, reccomendations

    If you’re looking for lightweight, I’d look to Salomon, Arcteryx or Scarpa. I’d say Salomon definitely have a tendency to run narrow. You can’t go wrong with any of them, though Arcteryx gets my vote.
