Always vigilant :You_Rock_ Thanks Stuart, nice to have your oppinion. It is really hard to judge just by the synopsis they provide. I just ordered their free catalog, maybe there is more info there. The main impression I have is that if you read the synopsis carefully, you can find the...

Does anyone knows Ron Hood's (www.survival.com) survival videos? I've been thinking on getting one for some time now, but I don't have the slightest idea if they are worth their salt. The one I am considering is the one about Tracking (http://www.survival.com/volume-8.htm), but again, don't...

This can be interesting to any of you that plan to build a birch bark canoe: http://www.squeedunk.com/building.htm Take a look at their general birch bark canoe section as well: http://www.squeedunk.com/bbcanoe.htm And, for those like me that are not building one any time soon... :D...

"I gathered, cooked, and ate (with certain qualms, be it confessed, but never with serious mishap) a great variety of wild plants that country folk in general do not know to be edible." Kephart, Horace, in Camping and Woodcraft. :)

‘‘the voyage of discovery is not in seeking out new landscapes, but in having new eyes'' (Marcel Proust).

Take a look at this article: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/298708_nature06.html :) Lucky kids (mine will be, when I have them...)

I want to keep a log book of my bushcraft pursuits. I am thinking on keeping thematic sessions (trees, tracking, etc), one session to register courses attended, and one session in which I will register my outings. This could have a structure like this: Location: Date & Time: Weather...

Thanks Brian and Wayne! I will probably attend the course, if the flight doesn't make too expensive. Cheers

First, happy 2007 to everybody! I predict another year learning, including what we learn with you lots! :You_Rock_ I am considering attending Akkermans' course Primitive Living 1 next spring. Has any of you lads and lasses attended one of his courses? Was it good? Was it worth the trip and...

hahahahhah

Why to go on a bushcraft course? Becasue you LIKE BUSHCRAFT! Because you like camping, wild camping, whatever. Because you want to learn more, spend more time doing it. IT IS about getting the chance to get involved. You are paying to DO something, not to SEE something being done. Otherwise it...

It is really a nice idea. Being from Brazil, I still don't get clearly enough how you guys here in the UK manage to find suitable places. I am living at Manchester with my wife, and we were thinking of possible places to camp and do stuff. Thanks for the offer. ATB Luciano

Thanks Richard! Will keep an eye open for them. Luciano

I've used clematis as a base board for a hand drill once, but it was a piece given to me. Problem is, I cannot identify the plant, wouldn't recognize it, cannot find more by myself. Can you teach me how to identify clamatis? ATB Luciano

Ha! I was taking a look at the website, and they have a sort of slideshow with different pages of the magazine. I am there! I am the guy on the third page(?) from the beggining, wearing a blue pullover with stripes on the arms, and holding a bunch of straw on fire. It is from the friction fire...

If he got an OK, we could resume the translation and corrections. Maybe we could have an english version of overlevnad by the beginning of 2007, in time for winter. :rolleyes:

So please, answer on the new thread. :D

wll, as my doubts took a wider scope, I thought it would be better to start a new thread, and maybe other people could find the answers usefull. It is on the same subforum, under "Which path to bushcraft?". Thanks for the information on Bearclaw. :You_Rock_ Cheers, Luciano

This started as a different thread ("Bearclaw bushcraft?"), but as it took a ddifferent, wider scope, I thought that it would be better as a new one. Quoting myself: maybe I should develop my question (and I don't know if this would be better as a new thread, as the answers can be quite...

maybe I should develop my question (and I don't know if this would be better as a new thread, as the answers can be quite usefull to a lot of people): I will be in the UK only for a couple more years, before going back to Brazil. I've been always involved with wild camping, have been a boy...
