    How to encourage diversity in bushcraft

    How to encourage diversity in bushcraft. Who wants to? They are either interested or not. Another self imposed CRIME of the white races revealed apparently. We do not encourage diversity in bushcraft, therefore we are the heinous whiteys.

    Tin openers.

    Often convenient foods to pack in the rucksack to take into the countryside are tins. I used to take tins of Irish stew and heat them on a stove or campfire and they made a good meal. Many other tins of food are available in the supermarket, however some now have pull ring and do not need a tin...

    Bromwell Frying Pan

    Is that your usual reaction to posts you do not like? You really must try to not become so easily upset - it is only a post on the Internet . . .

    Survival Tins - Updates

    It is worth remembering that the bic type lighter, that some include in their survival supplies, is also available with a built in torch. They are usually disposable, but I found one which allowed a change of batteries, and the facility to refuel. A tip I discovered is: If the "nib" is cut...

    Bromwell Frying Pan

    Ah well. I'm sure some here will see the lunacy of carrying a four pound cast iron frying pan out into the countryside, and calling it bushcraft. I use a set of army mess tins.

    Bromwell Frying Pan

    True enough. Buy a handcart and wheel a cast iron stove along the Pennine Way for thirty miles and endure the laughter. It is not against any rules . . .

    The midgies are back :(

    My sympathies arthem. This is one reason I prefer to be out when frost is on the ground. Ice and snow keeps the countryside deserted. That is when I am out and thriving.

    Bromwell Frying Pan

    It means what the Oxford English Dictionary describes it meaning: skill in matters pertaining to life in the bush.

    Bromwell Frying Pan

    In that case you might justify taking an generator and a microwave.

    Bromwell Frying Pan

    Over four pounds and ten ounces in weight. Don't be ridiculous! This is supposed to be a bushcraft forum. Is any idiot going to carry that frying pan out into the bush??? Is somebody receiving commission for this recommendation?

    Droning drones

    I did buy one and flew it about indoors for fun. It crashed, and a bit fell off it which I never found. I still have it somewhere, and intend to repair it one day. My feeling is: if a drone's legality is in question, it might be legal to shoot it down if it is annoying, with an air rifle. If...

    Maybe you have never spoken to a person that had to walk twenty miles, who was not used to walking.

    Survival Tins - Updates

    Yes I am referring to this Greencrafts video. I have just watched the whole video and the only reference to first aid was duct tape, gorrilla tape, which I suppose was supposed to bind wounds, and tampons. What they are used for in first aid I do not know. There are no references to any kind of...

    Survival Tins - Updates

    Maybe I missed it but I do not see any reference to medical supplies. Even in a survival tin there would be room for a few tabs of imodium, pain killers, and sleeping pills. I was once kept awake half the night while out because of an irritating cough. Now I always carry throat lozengers. In a...

    Channel 4's Hunted is looking for applicants

    After doing some checking it seems as if the runner has to reveal their position every so often to make a good show. If the rule was to start here at 10 a.m. and run, they would never find me, or anyone. I think they know that . . .

    Does anyone know where I can buy a pour and storback water carrier, position 13.5t minutes? I think that is what Mr Andrews said. I have searched and cannot find a source of purchase.
