I don't know what book Harvest man is using but if you are interested years back there was a book called Food for Free or how to eat for free (something like that.. I will check as I have a copy somewhere). It is about foraging in the uk by season, and is written in the style of a field guide...

Hi thanks for the advice! I was only looking at stick tangs as I wanted to carve the handle to my own shape (which looks harder with full tang as I'm guessing you have to file and reshape the tang metal too). I was thinking to the end of the handle with just the carved wood so the tang isn't...

Looking for a little advice/experience... I've recently taken up whittling and carving and really enjoying it as a pass time. I have done a few spoons, spatula, wooden butter knife that sort of thing and was thinking I might try a knife handle for my next project. So looking through posts...

Trying it in store will stop you picking a pack that really doesn't suits you.. other than that you are right you need to try actively using it. The "several days later pain" is what I was on about with the trial run if you plan (as I read) to walk 30miles a day then walk 30 not 10 with full...

Ok firstly I will say I am not in any way an accomplished bushcrafter especially since discovering this forum where there are people with a wealth of experience who are friendly and offer free advice, that said I have done some hiking in my time. Apart from trips in and around the UK I spent 6...

Really interesting debate and very informative OP Just to add a bit in to the debate on altitude and sterilization (I don't know a huge amount about this but have a little knowledge as I started out many moons ago working as an industrial microbiologist). Killing bacteria with low...

I have to say as a recent joiner to this forum some of the stuff you guys make really is impressive. Buckle the wrong way or not still a great piece of work!

Thanks for the nice comments! Just started carving a small spoon out of some green oak I found.. That stuff is hard compared to the old dry pine but when it cuts seems to cut much cleaner. Been looking around and think I might try making a trough style bowl as I can use my Axe to split it then...

Firstly Hello! I've been lurking around on the back ground of this forum for a few weeks, well since my wife bought me a couple of carving knives for my birthday (a frost crook knife and a frost 120 carving knife). I hope no one minds but I thought I share my first experience of carving...
