Ok So I stopped reading this thread halfway through when it became an issue of pulling it out and measuring. It's not an issue of standing up for your country... I'm sure GB and the Commonwealth will do fine without us defending it... or the US or Canada for that matter. I want to adress the...

Welcome to the Forum! Hope you can find lots on here to contribute to here, a great bunch of people IMO! TCP

Awesome replies guys, thanks. Yeah, I'm not really scheduling any time for Bushcraft - this is definitely a Tourist trip. Just wondering if there was anything that I HAD to see and needed to try and take some time off from the touristing... Keep up the recommendations of food please...

Mornin! Unfortunately not much to reply.... Bushcrafting is my fav hobby, so if i'm not on shift i'm at home working on gear projects or the like. I do enjoy reading and learnign of all kind... Rennaisance man project here! Cheers,

Hello all, first holiday in the last 5 years!!! The better half and I are taking 2 1/2 weeks, during which we plan to go visit London and Paris (first time in Europe). We're both History buffs so we'll do the whole tourist thing (she really wants to see the Tower, i'm more into the big...

Happy new year... now what kind of people are on here instead of partying?! (i'm at work)

Cheers mate! I am just reading "one man's wilderness" by Sam keith on the journey of Richard Proenneke. the guy did just that... building himself a cabin in Alaska, went on to live 35 years there. Quite the different story than the scottish guy (i forget his name) in Alone in the Wild...

or at least my Girlfriend does. I got a Fallkniven NL4 (soooo beautifull) An Enzo Trapper scandi grind, birch slabs and red liner. in O1 Rm's bushcraft survival and extreme survival DVD's shipped from Woodlore. (can't get them here...) =D thrilled just doesn't cut it?

OK.... So agreed. The point of this thread is gone and the horse has passed away, cause of death was repeated flogging... Australian hardwoods are not harder than UK ones or North American ones. There is a difference in the growth pattern and size of trees, one of the factors creating the...

You don't need to be a bushcrafter to survive an incident in the woods.... You need to be ressourcefull and creative. However being a bushcrafter coupled with a calm mind will get you to survive. The Woodlore IMO is not a "survival" knife. I would definitely want a larger blade for that...

Right.... So.... Anyone want to talk about Woodlores?

It's done... I'm jumping in on this discussion! (after all... this is a Forum - not just a Mick Martyn conversation!) I've numbered the points in Martyn's post in order to make it realy easy to reply: 1 - not difficult to sharpen at all if you have a Diamond Hone. I've just near completed...

Oh come on mick.... Let's all tone down and look start over. Perhaps as you mentionned it is hard to convey by writing the meaning meant by an individual - and we should take posts at a grain of salt. It's a lesson I learned the hard way on the forums. p.s I'm sure that Toddy writing in...

See I like replies like these. I don't think Mick here was trying to ruffle anyone, or asked the question in order to be ruffled himself. The way I interpreted the post itself opened doors for discussion on issues like: - Is there too much significance of Hype in modern bushcraft? Ex: you...

So the funny thing is that I woiuld totally watch a show about people camping in tents and boiling water... it's all about being out there. All in all a very well constructed and well put post. I think you've nailed the issue, and the intention of the dual nature of the show. By the...
