    Woodspirit protection

    Picked up this fella at Lyme Regis market a few weeks back (unknown maker). He’s had a quick coat of what looks to be varnish by the maker but I’d like to give him a bit more weather protection. Any suggestions?

    A Rethink of Green

    Poundland do a mix bag of blackjacks and fruit salads. I buy them for my team. I’m personally happy with an 80% wrapping removal but my boss insists on 100%.

    Bushcraft licence to and from the Moot to a place of Residence !

    Avoid doing bushcraft in Hyde Park or the Mall and you should be fine. I see tradesmen on the tube everyday with tool bags, multi tools on belts, lock knives with clips in pockets and even the odd chisel knife and nobody bats an eyelid. Be sensible with how sharps are carried, be reasonable...

    Wording of ‘zombie knife and machete’ ban being reported?

    With the ban in place the knives will be illegal to import and sell in the UK. Some may get through but the law would allow for prosecution, or seizure at least. The new law is not about replacing the offences of murder or carrying a weapon. It’s about getting the weapons out of the homes and...

    Wording of ‘zombie knife and machete’ ban being reported?

    does anyone here use a multi pointed, part serrated, multiple holed blade for bushcraft? The banned knives are probably best described as weapons. They are designed and marketed to appeal as such. There may be a couple of Rambo knives or machetes that are close to the line but by and large I...

    That was my second choice funnily enough, by the time I had the funds the place had closed down

    If there is one piece of kit that’s gone, you could bring back what is it ?

    Proper Karimor KSBs, before they were bought by Lonsdale (or whoever owns Sports Direct) Had the KSB “outback” desert boots. Probably the best boots I’ve owned, great fit and solid. New KSBs aren’t the same

    Someone has been done for carry Zombie knives.

    Unless you are suspected of committing an offence you don’t have to give your details, 8pm or not. Obviously it’s polite and probably sensible to comply with a reasonable request though. 95% of patrol officers (and retail workers sadly) use body cameras now, so I imagine a lot of what you...

    Non-military camouflage?

    I like them. From a concealment purpose a plain green or brown would probably serve just as well but I feel they serve a real benefit of being very obviously civilian/non military and in my opinion portray an adventurous outdoor design rather than being too grisly Adams. I have a green and...

    Crossbow ban consultation

    Some are, but some haven’t yet formed the part of their brain where consequence sets in (some people never do), but that’s not the point I was making. A weapon tends to make people brave. In the heat of a fight/confrontation it’s far easier to pull a trigger than stab someone.

    Worn Ferro rods

    My brother in law took chunks out of my antler handled rod being way too enthusiastic. I gently filed it back (you get sparks but it’s fine)

    Heads Up Evri scam (I believe)

    Yeah, scam. If a company can recognise your package enough to email you they would know the delivery address for sure.
