    Bear Grylls. Rate him or slate him?

    I PMed Dale at 13:53 today asking him to let Tony or us staff know what he was working on. I think it would be better to lock this until he has had a chance to reply. I don't want to have to keep checking in to make sure that folk haven't started throwing burning loo roll through the bars!

    Without knowing what this is for, I have deleted my post from earlier.

    Bear Grylls. Rate him or slate him?

    C- for observation. Luke was unconscious in a carcass while Han got the shelter set up. :deadhorse: Sorry, no gifs of Han unzipping a fresh tauntaun with a light sabre, but this captures my feeling about this thread much better!

    The blade is belt finish, but there are belt finishes and finishing belts. Farid's looks like 60 grit, maybe 120, but looks coarser to me. That isn't a working finish, that is just unfinished. Certainly, it does keep £ cost down, but at a cost. Harder to keep clean, more likely to crack...

    No question about it, the man knows how to grind difficult to grind steels and has the equipment to do so efficiently. Those bushcraft knives (I am assuming its the batch of flat ground blades he shows over on Bladeforums too) look functional. More so than the Scandi version in the same steel...

    Water purification woes...

    Sorry, just realised the only question in all that post was about fires. Fire isn’t the problem, it’s smoke. https://www.gov.uk/garden-bonfires-rules https://www.gov.uk/guidance/nuisance-smoke-how-councils-deal-with-complaints

    Does a lighter daysack to accompany berghaus centurio 45L make sense?

    Doesn't look like the Centurio 45 takes PLCE. It takes MMPS side pockets. Different compatibility, at least that is what folk are saying here: https://bushcraftuk.com/community/threads/side-pocket-compatibility-on-berghaus-centurio.123448/...

    Karrimore Side Pocket modification?

    Hey @johnny12345 , You didn’t reply and explain more about what you want done. Lets keep your project in this thread rather than sprinkle the same question into other folks' long dead threads. I admit I am disappointed that no one else has chimed in with info on pack sewing. I am sure I have...

    Hi @Growler88 Wouldn’t you prefer this in the designated Edged Tools Classified forum where it can be seen by all members, and even nonmembers? In here the ad is reaching only the paid members.

    What did you buy today?

    Nope. You are free to like what you like. I can state that I have a preference, and you don’t get to tell me my preference will depend on use case. :lmao:

    What did you buy today?

    Last night I got a bit of spending money, and put some towards a Spyderco UK Penknife Salt in Magnacut steel. I have been wanting one for ages, nearly bought the LC200N (Cronidur) version a couple of times, but wanted more edge holding and was willing to sacrifice ultimate corrosion resistance...

    Karrimore Side Pocket modification?

    What kind of gear, and do you mean that the "back" of the side pouches is the area between the 2 zips, that will be sandwiched between the pouch and the parent pack, or do you mean on the outside, away from the pack? I added some 1" webbing, like individual PALS points, on the outside of my...

    DIY - toolbox refurb / rust removal question

    Hi @Paul_B Do you know what the relationship is between the US toolbox company and the exclusive for Cromwell UK brand? Same name, different registered logo name. https://buykennedy.com/ Vs https://www.cromwell.co.uk/info/kennedy

    £60k penknife anyone??

    Should be stated, that thing that @Nice65 shows is a 9lb, 12" across sales demo piece, not a real pocket knife. Whereas the knife in the opening video is quite different.

    Cheap knives Uk?

    Definitely not a UK company. I tend not to trust companies that pretend to be somewhere they are not.

    Pine martin release on dartmoor.

    Every living thing is working just as hard as it can to upset the so called "balance". Well...maybe not sloths, but everything else is working hard ;) No living thing is self limiting, given the opportunity everything goes for growing its numbers, even trying to overshadow others of its own...
