I snapped a 2mm Mora (using it for something it wasn't designed for....), so i got a knife with a 3mm blade - the extra 1mm of material feels a lot more substantial.

This is getting hotly debated on the eBay community forum (http://forums.ebay.co.uk/thread.jspa?threadID=1100223858&tstart=0&mod=1234264415746) - I can only hope that responsible sellers who stand to loose good business will be petitioning eBay to implement a more sensible policy. It looks like...

I bought a couple of Snow Peak titanium sporks off eBay - I'd been looking for something better than the plastic spoons you get in MRE's and the Snow Peak sporks have solid handles whereas every other spork I'd seen had a skeleton handle that collects food gunk.

+1 for the four seasons episode - that's what got me interested in actually participating in bushcraft in the firstplace. I really enjoyed the 'Wild Food' series too.

Probably should have checked for dupes. Sorry.

Just spotted an article touching on bushcraft and survival in the Guardian, which surprisingly looks to be reasonably well researched (i.e not made up). http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2009/jan/29/apocalypse-survival-guide-tanya-gold I wonder if all the doom and gloom will spur...

swmbo is an avid computer game player (as am I), and picked up a second hand copy of 'Lost in Blue' for the Nintendo DS on the weekend. Predictably, pretty soon she was getting stuck and so asked me to help her out (like I'm an expert in ALL computer games...) The game starts of with your...

I'd definitely like to join in, and I think a friend of mine would too.

On a weekend bushcraft course (with ProAdventure, last year) myself and a friend built a filter from a bottle. After chopping the bottom off and inverting it, we put a tampon in the neck of the bottle, followed by more cotton wool, then a layer of charcoal, then spagnum moss and finally fern...

I'd already bought a Paul Baker knife (Graduate in medium Oak) as a present from me to me, and then my wife surprised me with a spoon knife and draw knife (frosts). :-)

I've put together a small kit for my worst case scenario - being stuck somewhere without all the usual stuff I carry in my car/rucksack when I'm out (Jetboil, MRE, survival blanket, goretex, etc.) - e.g. If I'm travelling in a friends car/public transport and it breaks down in the middle of...

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! It's snapped a bit closer to the handle - about 10mm away... I think I need a knife that's similar to a Clipper with a thicker blade.

Hello everyone, a little about me: I seem to be getting more interested in the outdoors and the natural world as I have gotten older (closer to 40 than 30 now...), I've done a fair bit of hill walking (mostly in the lakes and yorkshire dales), and a bit of scrambling and bouldering. After 2...
