Tensahedron Hammock Stand! Regarding finding places, it might be interesting to read the latter portion of this thread as a gauge of folks' views on just finding quiet spots. ;) https://bushcraftuk.com/community/threads/farmer-sprays-cyclist-wild-camper.166258/page-4#post-2070770 My own...

"Take only pictures, leave only foot prints." Very little grows on a patch of ground in my parents' garden directly under the bird feeder. If you try to dig there, the ground is like concrete. Compacted by the passing feet of hundreds and thousands of fat wood pigeons.

With G10, you get better cutting (toothed saws, mills, drills) with low speed, high feed. Meaning that your cutting tool takes fewer big bites. The worst is high speed, low feed, which means that the cutting edge is passing the ends of the glass fibres many more times. Stills kills the edges...

You don’t. Woody Girl’s experience is with hand lay up, not G10 board. Just sand G10, 240 or higher is fine.

https://www.gfsknifesupplies.com/Handle-and-Sheaths/ I hate working with G10. Dulls saws, drills, mills, and files very quickly. After just a couple milling operations I had made the end of a HSS 13mm cutter serrated, and measurably smaller diameter! Used a new Valorbe file on some and in a...

Does it need to be a particular colour? What thickness?

I can imagine that from a farmer’s perspective it could feel like they have one long conversation with the same camper, who happens to wear many faces. For the camper, they, the spot and the night are unique and special. Booking camp sites ahead is a pain if you are just one person with a...

Hard thing at this time of year, to be away early enough, when the sun is up from 5:30 to 20:30. It does seem a gross overreaction, but I do wonder what experiences the farmer had before. I was chatting to a local farmer near some National Trust land who had a Footpath run through his farm...

I agree with @demographic, hand in a tool in an amnesty, have it displayed as a weapon and next thing you know the public views tools as weapons. Regarding the EDC laws, as I read it, the law states 3” cutting edge. Hence does not include things like finger choil ricassos. Just because a...

“Bust” as in broken? Typo? Not a fan of plastic inserts. Have removed from Spyderco sheaths. To make your own, I would suggest ABS plastic, say from a Floplast https://www.screwfix.com/p/floplast-solvent-weld-waste-pipe-white-40mm-x-3m/44310 Wrap blade in 4 layers of masking tape. Use hot air...

Several times recently I have wanted to find some specific info from one of my old private message conversations and been stymied. Would be really handy to be able to search within my messages https://xenforo.com/community/threads/can-you-search-messages.219589/ Anyone else think this would be...

In the river….for a magnet fisherman to find, and take to the police as a suspected murder weapon that was dropped in the river to dispose of. :lmao:

Hello and welcome. Where abouts is Redding? What sort of outdoor stuff are you interested in? ATB Chris

@demographic , Someone with a belt grinder and the right kind of belts can always make that titanium pry bar thinner ;)

There is another problem, one that hits all such situations where one looks at the outcome of a complex multi-variable situation, and concludes that a mitigating action had no effect. How do we tell the difference between: Forest schools had no effect at all anywhere with anyone. Forest schools...

Funny, my personal experience is that edges of the same total included angle dull at the same rate regardless of how thick the blade is up beyond the edge. Concluding that Scandi grinds dull more slowly than flat grind or convex seems a bit like concluding that thick knives dull more slowly...

No, they didn’t. See 1996. Now please reflect on why your assumption of correlation isn’t valid. These same tired arguments are always wheeled out. The real problem in these debates is there isn’t an agreed definition of “works”. The one side wants to point only at the already (hardened)...

Hello. Goodbye. https://bushcraftuk.com/community/threads/what-to-do-if-your-posts-dont-appear-or-you-find-you-are-banned.158483/#post-2069340 Edit...I really have to add... :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: As if some random newbie who hasn't been here more than 5 minutes would...

Mod note. I updated the opening post in line with forum rules. Postage included. If prices need to go up to cover postage (age verified), please update to show the total cost to the buyer. Thank you.

Which BPS knife are you looking at in particular, they have a wide range? What does your version of bushcraft place most emphasis on? For instance, folk in the UK tend to value wood carving above skinning/game prep and camp cooking, whereas in the US many more people include hunting in their...
