My most used bushy style knives, love them, not too thick, not too thin, just right! ;)

I have a few... Bit of a fan of canvas.. Jings just realized they are not all there.... Anyways; Why you should: They look cool especially in a canoe ;) They are pretty much indestructible, very repairable and modifiable and should last a very very long time. Fairly weather proof...

Ally canoes get a good rep https://www.bergans.com/en/gear/ally-canoe

My wife has had one of these and had her battery done 3 times. They are expecting to be lured in and then lose the receipt etc but they underestimated her innate eye for a bargain. Her battery lasts about 3 years or so. Depends on battery life and how determined you are to get your moneys worth.

+1 for Broch's post. However I've successfully retrofitted one by cutting it on the flat of the D with a dremel and circular cutting disk. As Broch says it was a bu99er to bend it open and closed but it was pretty strong and it didn't seem in any danger of giving way.

Hi All, We have moved the forum over to Tapatalk and all your accounts should have been transferred. You will probably have to set up a tapatalk account first if you don't have one then log in as normal. The tapatalk account is a necessary evil but you do it the first time, tell it not to...

For ski trips, as things tend to be bulky but not heavy, I use the UK deployment bags. It is about 90-100L and has rucksack straps but no wheels. For shorter trips I just hand carry it or sling one strap over my shoulder. I love these bags, I have about 3 now one having died due to bad...

Much less people around up here on the lochs etc. Colours are ace. We tend only to have heavyish sleeping bags up here as it's never really warm enough for a winter bag. In winter I layer up in a tent or hammock, bag plus bivvy bag, never really been cold despite frost and snow at times...

Archery GB have a facilities guide here. Note it's a 40 page doc covering everything from custom built facilities to rugby pitches but does show dimensions etc. (hint go to page 38 ;) ) it's a good read and well worth getting familiar with if being responsible for something.

This bit sound a little dodgy too, not sure what you mean by this but I would be very sure a site I was going to buy a rockstead from was 100% legit and well known. Also dealing direct through emails means that if I had subverted a website then those emails could be redirected to anyone. Buyer...

I know that feeling, it's the worst! Luckily mine turned up, had slipped under the back seat of the truck.... I'm really liking Mark Jacobs stuff of late (mark.177 of this parish) Also think about if a woody is what you want, I moved over to a Canadian Belt Knife and don't reach for my woody...

I'm with Mr Claycomb, with danish oil you can put it on a buff it up until it's supershiny and slippy. I did this to a couple of knife handles before taking them back again as they were too slippy to use safely!! lay it on, let it dry, buff with 1000/1500 grit, lay it on let it dry, buff with...

I think warm and wet is always an issue for most of us. I've messed with 3 approaches and am on my 4th! Ventile, love it in snow and cold and windy conditions, light rain is fine too. In heavy rain it wets out and is much less breathable. We'll skip the corrogated cardboard and hellish to...

That is the normal place to store them! I now have another on the left hand side just under the stairs...

15 foot canoes will take 2.5 people and some gear, probably enough for an couple of days if you travel light. 16fts could do 3 people and some more gear. I would shy away from a 16 foot canoe as a lot more work to paddle solo, it can be done, just more work. IMO people think they will be...

You can get by without them, they just make it quicker. Jigsaw/bandsaw for cutting out the rough shape. Planer for removing a lot of wood quickly. I didn't use a power sander at all. You might need a convex spoke shave as well, the angles at the throat where the blade meets the shaft are...

I've done a couple. Powertools help. Normal woods used are Ash and Cherry but other woods and laminates of woods can work pretty well too. Graham Warren did a fantastic book on making paddles, if you can get your hands on it I would recommend it. Some of the tricks used are pretty good and...

It should fly on SotP, they are well respected and pretty sought after, all depends on pricing and your luck though....

Have never had to milton my stainless steel flask. I use it for storing milk when out canoeing. I once had to chisel the milk out after I came back a canoe trip, went on holiday for two weeks, came back, went on a business trip for two weeks then forgot all about it until my next canoe trip...
