Patches arrived today - thank you very much @Tony - leather one sewn onto my small haversack - will look ace when it’s weathered in somewhat :) The other one has now got Velcro on the back and will go on my main rucksack :)

What’s a smokeless smoker? I keep Bees and I just use a normal smoker quite adept at lighting it though)

I tell you a reality type tv program I watched recently - that actually I really enjoyed - and that was Traitors with Claudia Winkleman (who I am not a fan of but in this she was quite good)

I think one thing we have overlooked is the ‘material gain’ aspect - outlast for instance has a prize fund to win, and countless others have a monetary prize for ‘winning’ - I think that will draw a certain personality type aswell, and the motivations for acting in certain ways will be far...

Mine has been a bit of a convoluted journey. All started in Kent, my dad was a (naughty) poacher, and then later a game beater and a professional archaeologist, as a result he never had any money so was always scavenging/foraging etc to put food on the table. He also did a lot of traditional...

I just watched the first episode. Not for me I dont think. And no wonder that woman got ill swigging from that stream like that - what do we reckon, shigella, E-coli? Clostridium? Cryptosporidium? What would be the most common?

It’s a different scenario though so probably a different mindset and type of person - you don’t go to a bushcraft meet up seeking fame and fortune, but reality tv you do so there is probably a subtle difference in personality type at those two events. Also at a bushcraft meet up you can always...

At work recently we have been doing something called MBTI (Mayers Briggs) which has been fascinating - it rather than splits into ‘leaders and non-leaders’ it highlights each individual persons MBTI type which the rest of the team can then recognise what things that person thrives on, and what...

I use OS maps on my phone for general ‘walking the dog’ type navigation and am quite happy with it, but I always carry a paper map and compass if somewhere I don’t know well - for example when I went to north wales to walk the slate trail a few years ago - but if down around my area of the South...

I do wonder if it’s down to the type of people that want to go on these types of shows - is it something in that personality type that comes out as flaws?

That’s very nice

I would take your email off the internet tbh now - so it isn’t picked up by spam bots

Or a cut in half gas cylinder with the top half welded onto the bottom - that’s what I made :)

I haven’t really been out for much in the way of bimbles for well over a year now, due to surgery on my leg - but today I had a nice mooch around the pine forest at the family, err, forest. It’s a 64+ acre pine plantation and ancient woodland with a huge lake - currently being ‘reworded’ and a...

And 3 years later I have stumped up for the lifetime membership :eek:

I spent 3 days dog sledding in 2008 near kittila - one of the most amazing things I have ever done. 3 things stuck in my mind 1. The quiet and the swish of the sled 2. The sled is moving faster than you think, so do t just step off the back (like I did) thinking it was at walking pace (was more...

I have often wondered about getting a Lars falt knife from casstrom- they look nice

What a great write up :)

I agree, I have an enzo/brisa trapper and the bigger ‘trooper’ and a couple of others - I really like brisa knives

Get an old BSA break barrel - will be cheap, parts are available and you can rebuild - great fun :)
