    Carrying knives to the woods - knife license...inevitably rambling onto American gun stuff

    And just to throw another spanner in the works any member of the public carrying a knife or axe on what used to be Forestry Commission land now Forestry England, Natural Resources Wales and Forestry Scotland is also committing a crime as there is no lawful reason to carry on these grounds. These...

    Clear Water, Clear Access Campaign

    Not a good idea. Maybe a passport system could work but not free access to everyone.

    Improvised Hammock Wild camp

    I enjoyed that and it makes a nice change from the usual YouTube videos. Nice to see you don’t take your self too seriously and very much reminds me of the trips I have a with a friend of mine (we are also ex squaddies). keep up the entertaining work.

    What did you buy today?

    You’ll question why you ever bothered with the bahco once you use the silky.

    How do I know where it’s OK to camp?

    What I should really have said is that the majority don’t leave their homes unless it’s a lockdown then they all come out. Most people I have come across are fairly sensible but you do get groups of teenagers which are the most common for leaving a mess or a half hacked tree. I have come across...

    How do I know where it’s OK to camp?

    As a Land manager I see the unfortunate side of things. Litter mess and hectares of forestry lost due to fires. I know many people do use the forests and do it right. The issue with this as a land manager you do not see this because people have left no trace. As you only ever see the mess that...

    PERMANENT CAMP - SUGGESTIONS

    One of the key things is to have permission. It would be a shame to put all that hard work into it and then the land owner coming and tearing it down. I manage a vast area of forestry and unfortunately not everyone is environmentally minded and make a lot of mess with illegal camps also they can...

    Mid-Wales and the Borders Inaugural Bush Camp 2020 - Important Update

    It will be nice to look at Hafren as I haven’t had a chance to look at the forest yet. Also looking forward to Cylwedog a lot of my friends have fished it and always enjoy them selves.

    Silky Saws - what's the difference between cheap and extortionate???

    I use them professionally and for hobby work. I’ve also used a series of other pruning saws. By choice I wouldn’t use anything else. For carrying in a back pack the big boy is all you need and more.

    I am also planning on taking the fly kit. I’m not really a stocked fish fan but I can’t pass a water without fishing it.

    Very hot weekend.

    Looks very much like a patch I used to roam around in as a child near Basingstoke. Great way to spend the weekend.

    Woodland trust woodland management

    I wouldn’t touch the ash saplings. I don’t know how bad chalara is in your area but it will hit you. The ash will thin it’s self out eventually. It doesn’t look like the beech is dominating the woodland either which is a good thing for ground flora. As I’m not sure of what you want from the land...
