    I'm trying to decide on a new all-rounder knife for bushcraft/outdoor pursuits and hunting, skinning and prepping game. I have been drooling over the Becker BK2 (Now the BK&T companion) for a number of years but recently have been looking at the Schrade Frontier 51 Micarta (SCHF51M) and the...

    DD Camping Hammock vs TW Hammocks Ultralight XL vs ???

    Ended up going for a TW and sliced straight through it when I unpacked it. I'm kicking myself for being such an idiot but ordered another one and reached out to the to figure out if I can mend it, anyone here got any thoughts on that?

    British Army Basha vs DD 3x3

    Looking for my first tarp (hopefully a hammock too but they are rather expensive). I can get a british army Basha (8 Foot by 7 Foot) for £15 or the DD 3x3 that I see/hear about a lot on here for over double that price. Is one way better than the other?

    Post-dissertation trip

    I really like woodwork and fire but my plant/tree identification needs work. I've never camped in a hammock but I'd be up for giving it a try.

    Swedish LK35 Canvas or Cordura ?

    What is your environment like? Mike says that his is quite wet so he went with Cordura, maybe yours is much drier? How far are you planning to carry it? Canvas is slightly heavier if I'm not mistaken?

    Regrinding fine edge to scandi

    I feel like a bit of an idiot asking but is it possible to regrind an edge from a fine edge to a scandi grind? I really like the ease of sharpening scandi edges but I don't know if its possible without destroying it totally or whether its worth doing? If so how would I go about it? Thanks...
