    Bushcraft and survival skills magazine!

    Sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy the issue you purchased but to say it's pants on the evidence of one issue...? Get people in that have the skills if 'they' don't? Let's see... The Dutch oven piece was done by Dave Craze owner of Ronnie Sunshines and runs regular outdoors courses. The...

    Lucky bit of twitching...

    Despite the fact that Bitterns are seen in increasing numbers each winter near me I've never heard the boom. Rare birds like buses eh?

    Lucky bit of twitching...

    It's not everyday that you see a Bittern! We live in the Lea Valley in Hertfordshire and there are a few Bittern supporting sites (incl an RSPB reserve). We then went to the hide in the background and saw it move across from one reed bed to another.....and whilst there, blow me, a Smew shows...

    How to preserve wild garlic and other herbs

    I saw Fergus do a talk in the Bushcraft magazine stand too and I like the look and smell of the powder. He also gave some Ramson bulbs out and I've got it on the side in the kitchen and have a smell every time I'm near it-Lovely.

    bushcraft show near Windermere

    Possibly the no dogs rule is because it's usually an outward bound centre (YMCA still I think)...I know, I went there as a kid and recently found the literature about my trip from the early 80s! Personally, I hope it does well for them as they have a great site and to get Lars and GB to come is...

    Dual Survival & Bruce Parry programmes...

    Just seen this review for a new programme called Dual Survival on The discovery Channel at 10pm from Monday 10th January. It's basically two survival experts with differing approaches who are dropped into hostile environments to see whose approach is best. The two guys are Cody Lundin...

    Show us your D.I.Y favourites!

    I posted these on a while ago... This DIY tripod And this DIY axe mask. I've got some Ash wood to try and make a collapsable saw and I've also got a couple of wooden wine crates from work that I'd like to make into a wooden chest. They used to be so common but are sadly not...

    You are what you eat...

    I find her a bit patronising sometimes... Ah yes Ghandi... a brilliant human being but his diet made him week and gave him bad breath...and not having decent footwear played havoc with his feet... He was a supercalloused fraglie mystic hexed by halitosis!

    Quinze Building

    This is me last night hollowing out mine. it's smaller than I'd like but we haven't had loads of snow and I've really had to (literally) scrape the snow together. I stopped last night due to bad light and to dump some of the scraped snow on the top to both refreeze and increase the height a bit...

    Festive Cranberry Sauce Recipe

    Interesting version. there seems to be so many different ways to make the same thing. I cook them down in orange juice, add some finely chopped rosemary, a shot of port, and then add some seedless raspberry jam to sweeten and thicken.

    DIY tripod

    I used three temporary fence posts (or whatever they are called-the sort of thing that holds up the orange plastic net fencing at country fairs and the like)&#8230;they cost about £2.20 each from Jewsons. The metal ring is cut from a broken webbing strap that lorry drivers use to secure a load...
