    Gutted

    I have a Bark River mini Canadian somewhere I use it for teaching Deer butchery. I decided before the Pandemic I’d like another. Ouch I said for that money I had better be careful not to lose it. So I moved it from its usual home into a safe place. I hope one day to discover the safe place.

    Heyaa from Edmonton Canada

    Welcome to our virtual fire. I look forward to reading of your exploits. I haven't done much in Alberta. We don’t have proper wilderness in the UK. You're never more than a few miles from a road or forest track.

    Generally the mods get together with Tony. It’s his forum after all and discuss the situation. Sometimes a polite message to an individual reminding them to curb the enthusiasm is all that’s necessary. i believe Tony has a range of settings in the software for more direct action. i would...

    If you have a problem with posts and any form of harassment then report it to the mods. We can only deal with issues if you click the report button. I stopped frequenting SOTP because of one particularly annoying user. He wasn’t breaking rules, just reduced the joy I got from participating.

    Legality on entering an axe to the UK?

    I fly in and out of the UK all the time with my bushcraft equipment. As an instructor this can be a lot of sharps including knives and axes. I have had no issues. You have a justifiable reason to carry the equipment travelling to and from the woods. One of my team had a major issue with a...

    A vegan friendly knife - stacked birch bark and hessian sheath.

    That’s a nice tool. The birch and laburnum compliment one another. the sheath looks good too. Not a construction method I would have considered.

    What is Allowed

    I was teaching young people with Autsim on Saturday in a small copse beside a very busy road. the land belongs to an activity centre so plenty of people around. 4 roe deer happily wandered around the edge of our teaching area. Buzzard perched above on a broken birch. I saw Shrews and field...

    Blade straightening ?

    How bad is the blade? Can you easily remove it from the knife? Much easier to deal with on its own. Might be faster just to swap out the blade.
