I go alone unless I know someone who is keen to be convinced they are missing out on something. I'm a lover of the outdoors first, walker second, bushcrafter last. My experience tells me that there are a lot of people who are keen to talk up a good adventure, then when it comes to the...

Just happened to read this thread as it caught my eye. We (UK folk) have been separated from Boar by some considerable amount of time now. Re-education is key here. They have been re-introduced, and have escaped too, and this is something that we have to learn more about through encounter...

Field maple is a type of Acer "Acer campestre", sycamore is also an Acer, but a different species "Acer pseudoplatanus". The former is smaller and slower growing (so I guess harder) than the latter which can top 100ft (33m). That's assuming you are looking at a sycamore in the UK and not in...
