Looks like a fairly new product. I doubt anyone has any long term experience with it.

Hello and welcome.

Welcome. Anyone who owns some woodland won't be short of friends here!;)

Welcome. Bushcraft is a huge topic. If you are looking for a good book to cover some of the basics then Ray Mears' "Bushcraft" is good, as it's written from a UK perspective.

Hi:)

Hello, hope you like the place.

I suppose I count as one of the "old guard". So here's my take on it, over the years my interest has ebbed and flowed. Life, and other passions take precedence sometimes. For four or five years I got ride of the internet altogether. These days before I comment on a thread I tend to ask...

I've recently purchased a Trangia UL27 HA set. I've been using it most outings as it's been so dry I daren't use my solo stove.
