And then find something suitable to sew it onto...

On the tasteless blackberries, I wonder if that was anything to do with how they were oriented in relation to the sun? There's an expression south is sweet or something like that. Just a thought.

Thanks; that's useful.

Many thanks Bob. I'm sure you must have come across the mathematical formula which applies to bladed tools, whereby the number you need is N+1? N of course referring to the number you have now. I am tempted by the 110 in fact - but have been challenged in a similar way, so we'll see. The Skrama...

Thanks Bob. You have one of their puukkos don't you? I don't recall which one it was, but seem to remember that you were happy with it (& you are a satisfied customer after all!) A few quick questions if I may: what length blade did you get, are you still happy with it and/or would you choose...

That's a lot of stove in a small tent! Lovely to be so toasty though I'll bet. Happy belated birthday!

Nice write-up. As you observe yourself, you could reduce still further if you want to. Just as a thought to throw in, I've taken a second nesting cup with me to fit over a Nalgene-sized bottle (ie one on the top, one on the bottom); that way you don't take up any more space but can then have a...

We'd be up for a deer!

I'd be interested Tim but don't think I'll need half a tonne; maybe if others were to join in it'd be worth doing? Oh, and at Autumn Moot I spent a fair bit of time in my own camp (unsociable git!)

Nice one Mat - thanks!

Best of luck John

They look good John. For the needles, did you just hammer some thick wire flat and go from there? Also, how does a belt hook work? Sent from my moto e(6) plus using Tapatalk

I've had a go at making some myself ( but hadn't thought of decorating them; might have to have another play....) Here are my efforts. The one at the top was shaped with flint, drilled with a flint burin (hand drill) and smoothed by rubbing on sandstone. I used modern tools for the other two...

Thanks John!

Really nice work - as always - John. How did you do the decoration?

Great report Tim; thanks for taking the time to do it. Fab trip too; I'd love to do it myself some day.

That's more Harry Potter than bushcraft though isn't it? :)

Yes that's the one Stew; anyone remember what it's called? (I'm still using and enjoying the Dave Budd blade you handled and sheathed for me a while ago by the way; really like it!)
