Yay, I made that sheath!

Now sold thanks

No trades thanks

Indeed....tread lightly in everything we do

So we go bushcrafting (whatever that means) we make a fire because we have nothing else in our armoury and, as long as we sweep the fire scar aside and pee on the hot bits before we go we’ve been LNT?

Instant gratification and virtue signaling: The whole of society is hell bent on “getting their share of nature”, posting an Instagram post of them getting it and picking up their litter, very tedious.

I mean to say that those we “need” to teach lnt to will need their further impact explained along with the obvious? Most people who need to be told not to light fires or leave litter also need their bottoms wiped for them.

I think it’s everything, too much emphasis is on the immediate and visual by everyone nowadays....instant gratification and virtue signalling are getting tedious.

Is the biofuel a byproduct of a sustainable ethical process? Sold on in a signal use bottle? Coast path been maintained by machinery? Maintenance crew arrive in cars? It can go on and on can’t it? I do disagree, the obvious lnt principles are easy to point out and virtue signal over as per...

Lovely spot: did you trample any foliage on the way in? Did you drive before walking to the spot? Did you use a stove that gives off fumes? Just playing devils advocate and showing that trace is more than the obvious....no offence intended.

Indeed, I agree, our impact is a trace that needs consideration. Leave no trace is so much more than just tidying of fire scars and litter...... I attempt to be discreet, quiet and considerate to the environment at all times....some people aren’t happy unless they’re...

It’s a struggle to get out of the hammock, but it is best to deal with the foliage watering as soon as need is felt, I’ve found; then I get a quicker return to the cocoon of comfort! You’re most welcome, I enjoy capturing small clips to aid memory of the moments that make me tick.

Diagonal lay is key but you need the choice...head left/feet right doesn’t suit everyone. That’s factual.

Laying in a hammock has allowed me to witness some wonderful things, I try to pitch near deer trails and/or water. Just waking up in the woods allows most creatures to feel more confident around your camp. I also do my best to function from the hammock, drinks and meals from the hammock are...

If you’re over 6’ I’d go for a custom 12’, the length requirements of taller hammockers are well proven by the US guys who hammock a lot more than us in the UK and have pushed the limits of fabrics and designs beyond anything available in the UK. I’m 6’5” and 17-18st season dependant:shameful...
