yeah, but the motorola defy isn't really old school scouting.... however, said smart phone was in the shirt pocket whilst falling out of the canoe, going down rapids on the madawaska river in canada last year. leading a group of urchins on DofE gold exped. which serves well to highlight just...

i'm not going, much as i'd love to. have fun, and a full report will be required! the guys and girls at woodsmoke are brilliant, arguably the finest bushcraft school on the planet! cheers, and.

well that's exactly my point, once upon a time the uniform was function more than form, along the way it has deteriorated into a parade uniform. it's not just a case of activities vs flag break, during normal scout evenings i wear my uniform all evening. in an old school scout style, i always...

i was wondering what the bushcrafty scout leader fraternity thinks of the current scout leader shirt? personally, i'm still waiting for mine to be finished, it'll be alright when they've finished sewing the other pocket and pocket flaps on. :rolleyes: i am constantly irritated with loosing...

here's a few photos from this years scout's bushcraft course. cheers, and.

i realise this might be a little out of date but..... for the younger'uns, we started with the build a better mousetrap challenge, a remote control trap, using a bucket, small stick and a piece of string. then moved on to promontory peg dead falls, before progeessing to paiute traps, fig 4s and...

my edc m-tool, leatherman supertool 300! big, burly, and everything locks. i wouldn't take it down the pub obviously. but all the police officers i've spoken to come back with the same thing, if you're dressed and behave like a growed up, it's not an issue. likewise i'm a scout leader. having a...

compact, robust and versatile. knife blade, saw and awl. basic bushcrafty tool kit. http://www.heinnie.com/Victorinox-Knives/Sturdy-Pocket-Tools/Victorinox-Farmer-Alox/p-199-914-6889/ the victorinox rescue tool, and the 111mm huntsman are also excellent choices for a crafty folder. simple...

yeah but which couple? i see there's a documentary on national geographic channel featuring the junglas commando units after which the son of rtakII was named. it's repeated at 04:30 tomorrow. cheers, and.

the junglas http://www.eseeknives.com/junglas_machete.htm i posted earlier was designed for counter-narcotics operations in south america, as was the original RTAK. for the purposes of training and exercises of a military nature, i can't help but think something a little more compact might be...

this one! http://www.michiganknives.com/Item_Pages/RAT_Cutlery_Items/ESEE_Junglas.html the beckers are excellent, the old camillus ones were brilliant. the original rtak was too light, the rtakII is much burlier. i think the junglas i posted above, designed by the same people and built by...

have a look through this lot. https://www.brisa.fi/portal/index.php?option=com_oscommerce&osMod=index&cPath=94 cheers, and.

as an example, i just picked up a shiney new enzo camper for 96 quid delivered. much as i'm loathe to admit it, fit, finish and build on the enzo is miles and miles better than any uk made production knife i've had over the last few years. cheers, and.

that'll be the problem then! let half the air out of the mat so that it has enough slack to conform to your hips and shoulders, you'll be so much more comfortable. if you sit up on the mat and your rump just touches the ground underneath, that should be about right. this concept may seem counter...

sounds intriguing..... you need to host the photo on the internet, then you can link to it here. cheers, and.

i'd say plus one on the spyderco double stuff, but it's significantly more expensive. the arkansas stone is fine for soft carbon steels, but if you're looking to sharpen modern high end stainless steels you are going to struggle. these things are ok, uber compact, light and effective, if you...

GOAT= going on a trip, this more of a get you home bag philosophy, it's a terril hoffman concept. you keep a goat bag in your car or similar so you have stuff to get by till you get home. i have spent tens of hours waiting for the AA to get me and my broken down rental truck back home. having...

i know various threads have been and gone, but given all the dead links and things..... if you were helping out a friend with a kit list for a new BOB, PERK, or GOAT bag, what'd be in it? scanned personal docs, stored how? water filters? what's the latest since iodine was banned? the basics...

you're more than welcome. i've been meaning to find that video again for a while. much like hillbill, as rule of thumb, i recommend a thin mousemat with a hard(ish) plastic face. use it soft side up for axes, but hard side up for knives. we recently introduced a professional survival...
