    Bushcraft & Survival Skills magazine article reference

    I've been going through my copies of the mag (except the hard to get issues which I don't have) and listing the articles which saves the frustration of going through my copies to find something! I've also used a biro to write the issue number on the spine to keep them in order. I've listed...

This is one that Woodland Ways are promoting http://www.woodland-ways.co.uk/wildfoodmentor.html and it features Marcus Harrison. I first saw Marcus' work in Bushcraft & Survival Magazine so I knew what he was about...

    Wanted issues 2 & 3 of Bushcraft & Survival Skills Magazine

    I'm missing those too and to be honest, they are as rare as rocking horse poo. Depending on which ones you have there is a repeated feature by Dave Watson on friction fire lighting in a later issue. Might be a good idea if all the features were repeated one by one-Good luck!

    I'm about to sign up for this online course http://www.woodland-ways.co.uk/wildfoodmentor.html It's £7 per month for 9 months at the moment, but is soon to change to a £30 flat fee. Marcus used to do a piece in Bushcraft & Survival Magazine and they were very readable. Full marks to Woodland...

    burl carving

    I have a Elm burr at home and fancied doing this. It was in two lobes but they are still a decent size but the wood is *really* hard (and darker)...was your Elm burr green wood?

    Well that's something they'll look back when older for sure Alf. Are you going to do some with rounded tips for the Beavers and Cubs? :)

    Bushcraft and survival skills magazine!

    Have to concede that's a fine garment John but beyond my expertise and my £20 Hobbycraft sewing machine! I think the old woollen blanket I have lined up will be an attempted bushie garment from the mag.

    Bushcraft and survival skills magazine!

    I need to rephrase what I put. I'm pleased that it's in a beautiful location (I went to the YMCA centre as a teenager and have fond memories) and it's great that the north has this event.
