    knife making

    You can download a fully functioning trial version, I think it lasts for thirty days. I bought Photoshop Elements because I couldn't afford the real thing. A bit of a shame really being as Im supposed to be a photographer but It works ok and is allot cheaper. As soon as I find a job though...

    Skill level?

    Even a very experienced bushcrafter has something else to learn.

    A relative of mine lost both his hands as a child whilst making fireworks, Explosives should only be used by people who know what they are doing. He is now 65 and gets by quite well with no hands. I think its better to leave this to the professionals atb Andy

    M65 jacket

    with just the outer shell its too cold. Its ok when its only 5 degrees but anything lower and I think "why didn't I put the lining in?" The lining on its own wont fasten up and looks a bit funny so I cant wear that on its own
