Felix Immler's new youtube video is about a fixed blade bushcraft knife series from Victorinox.

I wonder if the difference is: PSK for accidents Bushcraft EDC on purpose

To be honest you can read it both ways so I am not sure what he actual meant however the only reason to carry it on your belt rather than your web belt is so you can ditch your web belt and keep the kit. My point is a lot of people are going the tin kit is rubbish however he was basically...

The tin is supposed to be carried with a pouch containing a mess tin etc so it is more like a bottle kit or the 10cs.

If you want to try hard, try getting plain polycotton ripstop! Poundfabrics John Fenna on the site has a book for sale on making these sort of things.

Oh I so miss being able to switch out the battery of my mobile phone.

LOL carrying a full fly fishing kit is hard core! I am with Paul B in that in the UK you will find some sign of life within 3 days so trotlining(Longlining) for fish is not going to happen. After listening to Les Hiddins on the Paul Kirtley podcast have started watching his show and apparently...

I agree with most of that however the extreme weather might be on the rise.... Check out the flood in a Birmingham pub last month on Reddit. A PSK is a very interesting thought exercise however I think we have all moved into the EDC area. As Mor's said "The More You Know, The Less You Carry" so...

Oh Scout pockets, how I miss them those shirts were brilliant. I used to have 2 cigarillo tins, 1 in each pocket. Safety pins pinned though the pocket lid. Obviously a whistle and a British Army knife normally. Also a large neckerchief because the normal ones are too small to use as a triangular...

I had to send 2 back under the guarantee and just thought they would send 2 new ones. Which as far as I can tell they did however they sent me the exact models which surprised the hell out of me. I have a mk1 and a mk2 Huntsman still. I did make a big mistake when I sent my Leatherman back as I...

The best argument I have heard for prepping was a prepper who lost his job however he had a year's worth of food so was ok while hunting for a new job. If I remember my nuclear fallout maps right unless you live way up in the highlands no one in the UK has to worry about a nuclear winter. Based...

I think you are bang on by what it is about and should be about. The best bit of advice I have seen recently was to carry an angle head torch and I can honestly say it is possibly the most used EDC item I have. A little single AA torch and it just rocks. Ref the dog bags have you tried nappy...

Doh!

I might add this to my tag line as I feel I am always mentioning it - the tin is part of the kit and not the whole kit. I wonder what the Spetsnaz carried in this regard? The Cub motto is "Do Your Best" and the Scout motto is "Be Prepared". I think if you look at what Mor's was thinking and...

Going to start looking into honey more seriously. I do not carry any of the creams because of the reasons already given. I tend to have a first aid kit and a what works for me kit with stuff like this in. "I find nothing works better than paraffin oil, and best brown paper!"

The image from his book has a very curved blade. Condor Nessmuk Knife on Hennie Haynes

Check out Greencraft on YouTube. He has a video on this and how he uses it.

I would go for 2. A 2 burner gas stove with toaster and a trangia. For car/van camping weight is not the issue so get 2 burners and a toaster as it gives you so many options. For hiking, especially with a 10 year old, you are only really going to want to boil water and a lot of it as there are...

Hi Crac, What I think is a surgeon knot is an extra turn on the first layer of a reef knot and then carry on as normal however there does seem to be a lot of things claiming to be the surgeon's knot. I can tie a reef knot at least 3 ways and can tie a thief knot however that is due to a misspent...

Crac, have you tried the Surgeon knot? Just wonder if it solves the reef knot problem.
