Yes. I took the fresh parts.

Not really. We made it about a whole km in 4 hours before we decided cross country would be better. The boats would have been destroyed otherwise.

I can’t seem to find the same one now. But my chuck box is a plastic ammunition box, it’s a nice size probably the same as two .50cal boxes side by side and a little taller. But it does a great job of carrying all my food and cooking gear for a few days away camping.

It’s taken me a while to get round to uploading some pictures of this trip, but back in April some friends and I decided we would have a go at the loch Doon grand tour. For those who don’t know, this tour is around 18 miles of trad canoeing. Encompassing flat and moving water, long (and...

A lovely specimen today. Just a little bit old but plenty of fresh bits so I took those. I was looking for the last of the ceps but didn’t find any, lots of chanterelle though.

A few years ago I was getting pretty fed up of the same things you’re describing. I switched to one of these, I think they’re pretty cool. https://moneymitts.com/

Oh my good man. The point of the fly! It’s the purest form of fishing (imo). The satisfaction is second to none when you get that cast to roll on to the water beautifully, the fly plops down and either just fades away or sits there on the surface. And then there’s playing the fish in. Nothing...

I’m reading Simon Reeve’s autobiography ahead of seeing him next month. What a very humble guy! The book is called “step by step” in case anyone is interested.

Goretex is absolutely the best thing you can use outdoors. But I would say the new stuff is not as hard wearing as the old. A decent tough goretex jacket will outlast and outperform anything military. MVP is just a cheap copy of goretex membrane in any case. Ridgeline I think are very nice but I...

I remember having to sit on the step with a bottle of pop if that’s what you mean?..

Croeso! Always nice to have a few locals around!

Big red button… Definitely going to try this now!! :badger:

You’re still larking about to this day!

But if you made your own icon surely it would best describe you individually. And that would be the most fun! I had a great time building the logo for my business, took weeks of doodling, scribbling, talking to friends and asking their opinions. It was great fun!

What exactly is a “bushcrafter identity”? And why does “bushcraft” (whatever the heck that is) need an icon?

Has anyone seen the sad news this morning that the gap tree on hadrians wall has been cut down… https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-66947040.amp

Mora Garberg would actually be the bottom of the list out of those three for me. The condor is the one I’d go for.

I would suggest either: Cold steel SRK Condor terrasaur Mora Garberg All significantly lower than your budget and twice the knife of some that are significantly more than your budget.
