Oh that is lovely.......very nice haul & a tad envious :cool:

Haha!! Thats what you get for not reading the whole thread....i dont know what im talking about :lmao:

Every bushcrafter should get on it, just for the horse scene...ideas!!!!:cool:

Hypnosis....best form of attack. Look into my eyes....look into my eyes ;) I watched that new Dicaprio film called 'The Revenant'...very good btw. Anyway, was on Imdb and scrolling through the discussion board and there was a point made where in the film (SPOILER ALERT) he gets attacked by a...

I believe what you have is a Spaeth Alder. A hybrid of japanese and caucasian alder. The bark oxidizes orange/red when cut. When the leaves are just out of bud they are a reddish brown colour. By all accounts as per my Collins tree guide, pretty rare. Im no expert, infact Ive only just started...

No argument there. Might aswell make a Guy Fawkes while we're at it. :cool:

Christ you lot live like kings! :cool: I thought I was living it large with my flavoured coffee...clearly not. :lmao:

It was approx. 1m by 1/2m id say. Is that too big? Thought it was just about right personally. The majority of our logs were about 30cm in length and averaging out at about 10cm in diameter. Thanks for the welcome. Its definitely a topic that interests me; the different types of firelays...

Admittedly I am very late to the table about this guy, but just finished watching Dual Survival Seasons 1, 2, 3 and got to season 4 episode 7, before Teti broke me. The man is just too bossy....period! I just cant find the psychological edge to keep going. ;) Anyway so Ive decided to move my...

Thought Id come back and give you a lowdown of my experience with my 1st ever fire build. It went very well but didnt bother with the original firelay plan. As I was partnered I just decided to build any ole fire and I tell you what when you think you have enough quadruple it. Lol. Bloody hell I...

Haha, does it seem that way....I suppose im a bit apprehensive as Ive never built a fire before and want something that can be controlled even with my lack of knowledge to fire building. Well the plan is to sleep under a lean-to tarp in sleeping bag. If Im being honest wasnt even thinking...

Hi guys. Its gonna be my 1st ever fire build this weekend and Ive plumped for a parallel firelay. As per Kochanski's book it seems to be the best choice for winter camping for overall usefulness when it comes to warmth and cooking. However, he doesnt really go into much detail in terms of how...

But doesn't scotchbrite scratch? Not such a problem with a £10 knife, but when you're paying hundreds the last thing Id want is a scratched up knife. I literally tried everything. I was even tempted to put the dremel to the damn thing it was that bad. ;) Of course theres other products out...

None at all. Although not sharp in the slightest the edge still took tiny chunks out of the block when I accidentally went over it. I think next time Ill go down the edge instead of across it, so to minimise this issue.
