Holy smokes that's a beautiful looking axe!

The least I really need is the clothes on my back, a Rangergrip 79, cooking pot, ferro rod, poncho liner and a thermal coated survival blanket. And some food.... The one thing I'd never leave behind never mind the weight would be the cooking pot. Sent from my SM-A546B using Tapatalk

Top tip for boonie hats... straighten out a metal paperclip and feed it between the stitches on the edge of the front of the brim. You can then shape that part into a small peak. This keeps the front higher than your eye level and when it's wet stops the rim from drooping over your eyes...

Has anyone used one of these? I like a decent chest pouch and this looks just the treat. User advice appreciated. Sent from my SM-A546B using Tapatalk

Sometimes they get left by the side of your truck and get driven over, snagged under the truck and dragged a while before being flung out, under a rear wheel. Now I'm not saying that this has ever happened to me [emoji87], but what I do know is that a robust rucksack will survive such an...

Absolutley bombproof piece of kit. Can swallow a lot more than you think and can carry heavy loads well. The lid is a bit small for my liking, but that's personal preference. The straps are good, if a little narrow and I recommend a sternum strap as when heavily loaded, they'll dig into your...

I'll pm you some pictures! Glad to see you're still active mate! Sent from my SM-A546B using Tapatalk

Stewart Light Knives if he's still about. He rehandled my SWC Woodlore in yew 18 years ago, and it's still going strong. Edit: a quick Google shows he's still active on Facebook. No affiliation, just a happy customer! Sent from my SM-A546B using Tapatalk

Bloomin brilliant adventure! These are the things that are sent to try us! You did well. When the weather turns, it tests our resolve. Maybe staying in the tent until first light would have been the safest option, but I understand how your mind can work on you when you're alone. Good...

I'll be driving up, then on foot. Thanks Broch. Of course, you have my word. Sent from my SM-A546B using Tapatalk

You'll find exactly what you're looking for in any good camping shop. Just take your time and look for the aisle that also has hens teeth and liquid icebergs mate...... [emoji1787] Joking aside, lightweight AND long lasting can be found, it just depends on how you care for your kit. I've...

Musing away my evening watching the rain fall in the grass from my patio doors, I've gotten to thinking about planning another trip to Scotland. I'm planning a 2.5 day, 2 night bushcraft type trip next. But then I get to thinking..... where would I go that's likey I'll not encounter anyone...

Well some could live in your old house if you sell it! [emoji1787] Sent from my SM-A546B using Tapatalk

If you move to Scotland, are you ever planning on moving back to your very desirable village in the future? If yes, rent it. If no, sell it. Will you rent in Scotland or buy? If renting, the income from renting the English house will pay the rent for your Scotland house. If buying, you'll have a...

Arrived today! Thank you.

I'll take it. Pm me please. Thank you.

Ah ha! I made a book mark. Thanks to @C_Claycomb tutorial, I made this a while ago. It has been with me ever since. A handy little thing to have. Pretty in it's own way. I tapered one end and made a slight chisel point so it slides between pages easier.

As above, a bit of foam mat will do the job. Measure your dog when he's curled up and add 2in to get the right size. With the foam mat the dog probably won't need the dog bed either. Unless it's a Chinese hairless thing.....[emoji1787] Sent from my SM-A546B using Tapatalk

There's a sensible, objective view on it! The law empowers the police when approaching and dealing with people who carry such knives in the streets. There has to be a step forward in tackling knife crime. If I were stopped in the street and found in possession of a bladed article of any...

No, but I know with those places very well!
