PM sent. ;)

The one on the left I would like to try next, thanks for the advice about hight. I was thinking to get an old potato sack, but ripstop would be lighter to carry and smaller in the pack. Thank you for the inspiration. The one on the right is a similar design to the one I made in the original...

Cool idea, I like that you made it yourself to suit your needs. Thank you for sharing.

Low seems to be the way to go. :cool:

Cool! Yes please :D

I came across this link on reddit /bushcraft and thought some of you might be interested in it also. You can sort knots by activity and each one is shown step by step. It's not THE definitive list of knots but there are plenty to try. https://www.animatedknots.com/complete-knot-list

Nice Idea. This would work well for a large group or a place to prepare food. Might have to give that a go. The problem I find with using trees is that it's best not to start a fire at the base of one. This means unless you keep a very large fire away from the tree you cant feel the heat from...

I agree, being up off the ground helps to keep dry and warm. The environment determines the need I guess. Leave no trace in nature is a good rule to live by and I apply this also when I do not own the land. It's very interesting to hear your take and perspective. Thank you.

Less is more. I guess this keeps you as close as possible to nature. Thanks for your input.

Integrated seat and pack frames are also a cool idea. I guess it depends how much you like to have a seat with you in the woods!

I like the simplicity. Not a lot can go wrong with these and they look comfy.

Thank for your input and ideas. I agree that the ground is always an option, and I realise some of the appeal of bushcraft is to strip back the comfort of the modern-day world. To learn more and carry less. However, if is am somewhere for an extended period of time I do like to sit somewhere...

Hahaha indeed stability is key ;) Would defiantly prefer something like this over the bog-standard foldout camp chair.

That's what it's all about.

Looks like comfy! I like that it's low down and laid back. Nice find.
