    Trivets, blow pipe and fire steels

    Blowpipes are under the same legislation as pepper spray and pistols. Theoretically a 5 year stretch for possession Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Kirtley or O'Leary?

    I'd happily do a course with Paul and compare the two for you! Paul had places come available yesterday for this weekend on Facebook. Worth keeping up with both. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Kirtley or O'Leary?

    I did a weekends course with Joe O'Leary last October and thoroughly enjoyed it. Location was set up well. I think Man of Tannith has done all of Joes courses. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Simple bushcraft techniques for cubs

    I did a debris shelter and a lean too with my ACF detachment. Each takes about an hour. Recycle the debris shelter into the lean too for frugal use of resource. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Parang

    I don't really know. A traditional Parang isn't very thick and the 01 choppers I have are all like oversized Kukri rather than a machete even. Blade thickness doesn't quite work out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Parang

    I have to say that I favour a Parang over an axe. I just find I'm more accurate with it. Not usually felling trees but cutting back poles and underbrush, processing limbs that sorry of thing. Not going to split rounds with it usually. It's just a better tool for the job IMO. I think you need...

    Wool blankets instead of a sleeping bag?

    Certainly not ultralight hiking with my bushcraft kit. If I have a base camp I'm not too fussed about a bit of bulk or weight. The skill is being comfortable wherever I choose to pitch up. Wool blankets allow me to regulate my temperature, I don't have that scratchy zippy noise to disturb me...
