You are already travelling forward in time, regardless of when you are...so just need to move forward faster! ;) The return journey is the tough part.

While I have enjoyed the convenience of contactless cards for some things. I am significantly dismayed at the rapid closure of banks, loss of ATMs on high streets, and enthusiasm of moving away from cash. My parents are elderly, they do have internet banking, but often had trouble with it and...

Is Edgematters worth a look?

Toby Platts, TP Knives. Was at the Bushcraft Show. Had a nice chat, very impressed with attention to ergonomics, fit and finish. Does all his own heat treat, and works in a range of modern steel as well as O-1. Highest polished Scandi bevels I have seen anywhere, stoned flat. There was...

It has come to attention that some people do not understand how to send or reply to Private Messages (Start conversation), and so are sharing email addresses, PayPal addresses and home street addresses using Profile Posts. The contents of Profile Posts are visible to anyone on the internet...

Update. Just banned a newly joined member, hadn’t even tried to post yet, but they tripped the silent alarm. Did the usual background check and found they had been involved in a scam on another outdoor forum. Took about £120 off someone. The scam goes that they post or PM about someone...

Worth finding a watch repair place and asking. I have used these people to replace a battery in a high end watch and have been very happy. They do repairs by mail. https://watchdoctors.co.uk/watch-repair/seiko-watch-repair/

My thoughts almost exactly mirror those expressed by @Van-Wild! Don't see much point in a hooped bivi and a tarp. Wool blanket?!? If money were not an object, you could get a quilt that doubled as something to wear, like the JacksRBetter No-Sniveller, but I would probably just go for some...

I disagree on both whitebeam and more general sorbus. Elm of some sort could be possible, the picture quality makes it hard to tell, but the green fruit do not look like elm, or hornbeam. Tengu, its a bad photo (not one leaf shown flat and deep shadows, and you don't show but a hint of the...

If it’s still available, I will take it please. PayPal or BACS, your choice. Chris

I hate to say it, but you folks just joining the thread need to read more than the first and last pages if you want to avoid drawing incomplete conclusions. For instance, see this post and it may explain how thing are still being sent by private individuals...

Yes, he really has had permission from Tony.

In the news today…verdict on owner of cane corso who mauled a female chimney sweep because the owner didn’t shut a door. Massive injuries that could not be closed with stitches. Owner, temperament, and physical capabilities.

Thread title fixed.

Hi there @King3344, The first few posts of all new members need to be manually approved by a moderator before they appear on the open forum, which is why your post didn’t immediately appear in this thread last night. The chances are that this knife is not still available, since the advert was...

https://fieldandsteel.co.uk/ had some nice looking G10 handled friction folders at The Bushcraft Show.

Yesterday I saw a new post from a recent member that flagged on our scammer detection system and thought I would share a little, since this is the first time I have seen a situation where I am certain that a scammer has used AI to try sound like they belong here. First, a little background...

I have several large polystyrene boxes from Donald Russell, a meat delivery business, (not my deliveries, but I snagged the boxes). I bring a large pot of stew to the boil, wrap in some old t-shirts, and close it in the box for 8 hours or over night.

Yew? Pah. I can choose between 25 year seasoned box, or 15+ year Osage orange….and I know better than to try to split stuff like that with a whittling /food prep knife. ;)

I visited for three hours around midday on Saturday. Did a couple of complete circuits in that time, chatted to a few folks but no one for long. Didn’t see more than a couple of faces familiar from the Moot. Seemed smaller event than the one I went to once before. Nice location, very...
