We should go back to a more Germanic form of English. It would save having to pronounce things differently to how they are spelt, and we wouldn't have to bother using 'th' all the blooming time (we could re-introduce ð)... I'm sure it would help people with dyslexia somewhat?

Proper 'Bushcraft'. In every sense of the word. Sami crafts always blow me away how beautiful they are. Why would anyone waste hundreds of pounds on a 'bushcraft' knife when you could have a work of art such as these pukko knives? amazing! I'd better start saving.

In the U.K. They tell children "if Germany had won the war, we'd all be speaking german". This, is of course complete nonsense. I like to remind people that "the allies won the war, and forced the rest of the world to learn English!" How silly.

"not all those who wander are lost" I have had a translation from Herman30. Very helpful chap. :)

Is this translation ok?

Good stuff. I'd love to get back over for a meet. I may try and convince some north wood people to do a site visit this year. I love the total silence you get in Suffolk as opposed to the endless traffic noise in the midlands... And the lack of light pollution. A Daniel Boone meet perhaps?

Like this one janne... I love the cool looking unit, with the windshield/pot support.

This is very interesting... I'm looking for an Optimus version of a trangia meths/fuel burner. I haven't been able to locate any information pictures etc. I understand the new soldier cook kit for the Swedish army has one as part of the Optimus stove and accessories, as issued to troops.

Fishing chairs every day of the week! I got a Dunlop one from argos really cheap. It's a great bit of kit! And even better with a reindeer hide on it. Only downside was a lack of a drink holder, although when its low to the ground (has adjustable legs)... you can just put drinks on the ground !

Overpriced crap. I’ve got a nice baseball cap from them, that’ll do me! If it was made in Sweden I wouldn’t mind paying the prices.

Hi all... I'm looking for a pattern to make a Lukkha. I know Twodogs used to make them, however I understand he is no longer making. I'm pretty sure I have enough material. And there is no way on earth I would consider a fjallraven one! Does anyone have a link or can you help? Jimbo75..

Was great to get back to north wood. Nice to see some new faces, and to touch base with some older ones! Thanks to Steve for organising.

Hi Bodge, All I get is a Tapatalk version of BCUK? To be honest, I was only curious as to what sales and swaps people were bringing?

Is that a free app still?

I can't find the bugger anywhere? :frown:

Hi guys, I'm hoping to get there reasonably early on Friday. What time are people getting there? And which pitch are we on?

Agreed. They are very 'look what I just bought'. I cringe when they have something shined and new, and no idea how to use it! Not saying I'm an expert (because I'm not), but I didn't learn anything 'Bushcraft' through ordering things off Amazon...

YouTube bushcraft is also suffering a death by strangulation of its own. There are only a few select channels I now consider worth a look. I won't get into the whole making a list nonsense, but it definitely needs a cull. I think it's nice to be able to appreciate real outdoor skills as an 'old...
