Yes, all very funny. Very witty. Very true. But. There is a bit of snootiness to this thread - all those silly people with their silly trivial lives. Some of us may (very well) disdain 'celebrity culture'. But we still have our celebrities who we adore - Ray, Mors, Lars, Lofty...even...Bear...

I went to an all-boys grammar school, but we all still had compulsory cooking and sewing lessons. I've always had a sewing machine. Maybe we should start a chaps' sewing group..?

What is the name of those things you can clip on to the edge of your tarp for tying it down, and anyone got a link to them? Cheers

Ah, excellent! Someone with both! It's the MOLLE fittings that's making me sway toward the Predator. And interesting to note that of the two it's the Predator you will be keeping. Is there any real difference in weight between the unladen (and preferably without side pouches as well) packs...

There's a real truism in that question that sums up the whole 'bushcraft' phenomenon quite well...

Yes, I am currently looking at getting a new pack. I can't decide between the Karrimor Sabre 45 or the Karrimor Predator 45. The Sabre is lighter, but the Predator has MOLLE straps... Does anyone have (or handled) both, and can confirm any difference in weight or use? What I like about the...

Mind you, they are titanium...

Get yourself a set of V-brakes. They will fit on the same stubs as regular cantilever brakes and are more efficient (because the levers are longer so get more...er...leverage). I think you can get a cheap set from Wilkinsons - no point in spending too much money. You can get new tyres and inner...

Yup, brakes and tyres. If you've got a bit of money to spend then some suspension forks would be a good idea, especially if going off road. I ride a Muddyfox Nemesis and frequently combine my mountain biking and bushcrafting. In fact, if you click on my blog you will find a piece I wrote...

Quick question - are the straps on the back of a Response Pak MOLLE straps? Or could they be used as such? I could do with a small pack about the size of a Response Pak and I was hoping I could attached it permanently to a MOLLE rucksack. Cheers for your help.

It's a Predator, not a Sabre. They're heavier.

I’ve been looking at getting a Karrimor Predator 45 pack. But at 2,300gms I think it sounds a bit heavy. And that’s without side pockets – so you could add another 500gms to that total weight by the time you’ve added two. How does that compare to other popular packs? Does anyone else here...

Weekend just gone I bought a Polar 62 carbon blade from English Handmade Knives and put a handle on it and made a sheath. You can see it here: If you click on the link in my signature you can see more pictures and read some words about putting it all together.

Cheers for your help. Yeah, the knife is going well and strong. Still razor sharp, and I've never had to touch it up since it was delivered! Whenever it comes out it always gets admiring comments.

I have a stick tang blade and I want to put a leather and wood handle on it - you know, different bits of leather all different colours stacked on top of each other. But what glue is best to use? Preferably something you can get in any high street. I was going to use a slow-setting epoxy...

The added bonus of getting Bushcraft Magazine (the one Bardster does) is that there are pictures of me it! Tastefully posed, obviously. If you look at the article on making the bread oven, those are my stunt feet treading the mud.

Cheers for your help. I have seen the Karrimor ones, complete with Karrimor prices! I contacted Snugpak and they said they didn't sell them separately (which surprised me - if you manufacture them, why wouldn't you if someone wants to buy them?!). Also, I know that no one manufacturers...

Anyone know a reliable (mail order) supplier of OG PLCE Bergen side pouches? Ta.
