I'm still chuffed he's Chief Scout and indeed my first thought was that he has a chance to move on with his programme content (I asked him pretty much this question in Bushcraft and Survival Skills magazine's Q & A about making a skills based programme to which he basically said 'Great but I'm...

Doesn't Ray look a slim Jim...and dapper. http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.raymears.com%2Fblog%2Fthe-one-millionth-land-rover-discovery%2F3380%2F&h=QAQELvWpgAQH8e9WIvE1bgck-NyIceauncDsBlpjFJiPUUw

Pablo has written a good article in the current issue of Bushcraft and Survival Skills magazine (First of two parts) on this subject.

Thought I’d post to keep you all up to date. Following on from the last meeting of the Project team http://www.escouts.org.uk/forum/thre...ght?highlight= we broke into 2 teams and, if you’ll excuse the pun, whittled down a massive list to the following. We have now separated into...

I've voted but +1 for this idea too. Maybe more anchor points for the 'diamond' setup as well?

The NEC one was cancelled when the other shows on at the same time pulled out. I went to the last Excel one and think the Bushcraft & Survival Skills magazine stand just about made it worth it what with the demos and all that. Part from a few exceptions there wasn't much bushcrafty stuff and...

I am (to this point) a tarp and hammock fair weather user and just have a mkI everyday foam mat which I use with my DD hammock which is fine. I want to look at getting sorted for early autumn hanging and was all set to get a hammock underblanket but wondered if I could invest in something like...

Woodland Ways have just forged a partnership with this lot in St. Albans, Hertfordshire http://the-foragers.com/ which looks an interesting collaboration. There's also http://www.thecountrybumpkin.co.uk/ who are also in Hertfordshire and the guy featured in Bushcraft and Survival Skills magazine...

I did chuckle at your chicken and egg letter :) I won a metal fire piston for a star letter in said mag once and it's a nice feeling.

Whatever anyone thinks of his TV work, I believe his work with the Scouts should be judged as a separate entity. Personally, as a UK leader, I'm pleased he's giving his time for nothing to be our Chief. As for his programmes, I'd assumed that it was tilted towards the US market because he uses...

Just seen this on Facebook. Dog owners will be happy :D Press Release: The Bushcraft Show 2012 We are so excited about next years Bushcraft Show and are delighted to announce a new venue for the show… With YMCA Lakeside splitting away from the national YMCA their new local policy is to not...

I've just completed an article for Scouting magazine regarding paracord knitting that will hopefully surface next year. I did one thing that I chopped off due to there being too much to squeeze in so I thought I'd post it on here in case it's any use...I don't recall seeing it before. Just in...

I've made a whistle from a downed service tree branch to give to bear Grylls at his swearing in as Chief Scout (very clear and loud). Hopefully this link via Facebook will help although it was down for maintenance...

A big thankyou to all who have commented. I really just wanted to start the thread about it as I was scoping several forums looking 'Just in case...', I wasn't enjoying forums as a result! I was doing a bit of Youtube research and whilst I would, with hindsight, have used a different image I...

I’ve got a bit of a cloud hanging over me at the moment and I want to start a thread on here to explain why. In the previous issue of ‘Scouting’ magazine I did a bowdrill article which attracted some correspondence concerning one of the pictures. I don’t want to reproduce the said pic but if you...

I did the tankard as per the instructions and can really see myself doing another in the future. Would I pay the cash for one on the site? I wouldn't go out and buy a made one because making one is something I can tick off my bushcraft to do list, I want to try making some small leatherwork bits...

Well I've looked at my kit, I've toyed with my kit, I've stitched and unstitched my kit and finally got to the stage where I can say 'Finished'. In the description on the website it says Advantages: You are responsible for how the tankard turns out! Disadvantages: You are responsible for how the...

Just seen this Tweet from Tristan Gooley, the Natural Navigator: Broadcast slot now confirmed: All Roads Lead Home (a series focusing on natural navigation), Wednesday 5th October 8pm BBC2. I reckon that could be worth a watch....

I had some go mouldy recently and I just peeled the outer foliage off,gave them a rub with my fingers and they seem fine.
