Hi All, I'm after a beginners lockpicking kit, maybe someone has a used one and moved on to more advanced methods, if anyone has one they're not using. I can trade lots of stuff, buck sharps, eka / normark sharps etc, general bushy stuff of which I have far too much ! or even pp payment. I...

Hi, Do you have any pics of the Mutant 38 at all ? Cheers

Does anyone here use a Beachcaster rod / method for fishing while bushcrafting, I thought it might be a viable way to boost the calorie larder. Is there any lightweight ( ie carry aboutable ) stuff available that is actually worth using, or is sticking to an overnight / tidal line possibly the...

Several Tins and Buck 110 now traded. PS. I am in the UK, the adress in the top rh corner of these posts is that of Peter Griffin ( for those who asked )

Hi All, I have the following surplus to requirements and am looking to swap them for more usefull items. What I'm really after is some form of fixed blade bushy knife, a lightweight tarp ( ie not a builders or canvas model), a jetboil might come in handy also. Also open to offers on stuff, what...

Hi, Went to see him in Buxton last night, superb. Well worth an evening out, lasted over three hours. Excellent Orator, Great Detail and Enthusiasm. Top Stuff

Hi All, Got some of the screwfix insulation yesterday, I have to say it looks very flimsy, there were even a couple of tears in the silver coating on unpacking, not on the outside of the roll either. Not sure how many "in and out of the bergans" it would survive. Was expecting more of a double...

Ta for the info :) ! Very helpful from you all. I had seen the syntax video and several others on youtube, nice to have a bit of info on the side. What I've been using up till now is the hood from my down jacket, which I never use on the jacket, prefering an itchy wooly hat. It's just big...

Hi, I'm sure there must be a thread somewhere on here related to pot cozy material but I'm damned if I can find it using the search function, maybe I'm spelling things wrong (cozy, cozee, cozzey, material, materiel etc) so I was wondering if there was a general consensus on the most durable...

Just been in Wilko and noticed they're selling 230g Butane/Propane canisters for £1.50 each, I took 4 and went to the till and apparently its half price day or something in Wilko so was only charged £3 for the lot. They are the yellowstone ones with the old yellow / black / red colourway, as...

Thanks for the replies, When I get a bit of spare time I'm going to have a go at the fishing floats, should it be succesfull I'll post some pics here, Cheers, Richie

Hi All, Over the last two or three years, when I've been out and about, I've picked up and pocketed almost every oak apple I've spotted on the floor. I'm not sure how many I have at the moment but they almost fill a Pot Noodle pot. Anyone have any ideas as to what I could use them for or make...

Hi All, Wasn't sure whether to put this in this sub forum or the diy/trad skills forum. I'm considering going on one of the knife manufacturing weeks I've seen advertised on here and was wondering if anyone had participated in one. I've had a hankering for making a Bushcraft knife completely...

Just noted they are much cheaper here http://www.facewest.co.uk/Petzl-Spares-E13.html Cheers
