    Book or Kindle?

    Both for me. The kindle is so convenient: always fits in a pocket, can read in bed without having the lights on, endless supply of books on holiday, can switch between books depending on mood, looking up definitions and so on. But you can't beat the feel and smell of a book, or browsing a...

    Felix Immler and Victorinox Venture Bushcraft fixed blade collection

    I'd say that the finish was 'fine'. As I mentioned, the edge was frighteningly sharp, but you can see the moulding marks on the handle and given that it's plastic/rubber and steel, it doesn't feel particularly premium. Next to the Joker, there's no comparison in fit and finish really. It feels...

    Felix Immler and Victorinox Venture Bushcraft fixed blade collection

    Well, it's going back. I'd kind of already made that decision after watching a few review videos, but now I've got it in my hands it's not for me. Positives: The blade is ludicrously sharp, serious razor edge. The back edge of the blade and the edge of the pommel are really sharp so I can see...

    Felix Immler and Victorinox Venture Bushcraft fixed blade collection

    I wish I could tell you, but Victorinox are having issues with DHL and the knife has been sat in the Midlands for a week! I spoke with them yesterday and they think everything should get delivered by the end of this week.

    Best side pouch for LK35?

    Hi All. I'd like to fit side pouches to the side of my LK35. Initially, I'd thought to attach zips to the sides of main pack to be able to zip on and off PLCE side pouches. But now that I have the bits and pieces, I'm wondering if PLCE pouches are too wide to fit on the side of the pack? Has...

    What are you currently reading?

    Probably still my favourite book series, along with the Thursday Next books by Jasper Fforde. I was glad to read the Dark Tower on Kindle as I was looking up words every other page! Sorely tempted to give it a re-read. Long days and pleasant nights.

    Hi folks, happy to be here :)

    Hi Harold - that's great to hear about Ben! I'm really looking forward to meeting him and can't wait to take the course. How are you two acquainted? I'm actually based in London for the most part, but it's not really ripe for camping, hence travelling further afield. My last (and first) time on...

    Hi folks, happy to be here :)

    Sadly, the leaky wallet is something I've long battled with. Safe to say it's now a deluge! PS I like your signature - I recently read The Rider which I greatly enjoyed.

    Hi folks, happy to be here :)

    Been a lover of the outdoors since I was in cubs, and fascinated by bushcraft and survival since I was given John Wiseman's book when I was 13 (which was a little while ago). Been getting back into (wild) camping over the last couple of years - Dartmoor, Wye Valley, South Wales etc. and I'm...
