It's surprising that this hasn't gone yet, but we've just come through Christmas and an early easter. It's a nice little knife actually very similar to my favourite little knife that I use for travelling jobs. Mark If the quality of the steel is anything like it is on the Mora Clone you did...

Well it's generally a good event, the footsteps team lay on some lectures and they have others there as exhibitors that teach all sorts from forging through to leathercraft. On Saturday evening they do a Hangi (you have to pay for) and strange but true they also have a bar in the woods for...

Situation dictates what to use. Siberian firelay to start, if I require large amounts of heat and fire wood is in good supply I would use a "Jenga" style tower. If it's a fire for cooking then I would probably convert that to a long log fire for cooking on, once I'd finished using it as a...

So, how many of you folk will be at the RV this year. It's running early this year 25th - 28th of March.

The Armed Forces Benevolent Fund charity day hosted by Footsteps of Discovery will now be held on the 1st of October 2016. For more details about the event please contact Spanner.

Are the new ones being trialled on BATUS? Are they designed for the military? That's how they got their name, I even remember them coming into service. If the design isn't taken on by the military it won't be a Defender in many peoples view no matter how they are badged.

I have had a Prime account since they came out in the UK, it has saved me money on both my business and my personal purchases. I dread to think what the cost in postage alone would have been under normal circumstances let alone getting next day delivery. I would say that I make in excess of 70...

I've got some of the stuff from an asian supermarket, when it rehydrates it takes up a lot more space than you think it's going to.

For those of you that didn't know Marcus has been broadening his horizons. I have just started reading Marcus Harrison's latest offering. "Cooking With Seaweed: 101+ways." I like the fact that it's small, just 136 pages including the recipe index at the back :D I have liked seaweed as a food...

I like dry cold as well, unfortunately in Devon we only get dry cold once in a blue moon. Infact we rarely get proper cold down here and when we do everything goes pear shaped because nobody is prepared for the weather and that's where the whinging starts.

Welcome to BCUK.

It's not this one by any chance

As a bit of fun you could look at "The Dangerous Book For Boys" On the military front "Sniper One" Or "A Snipers Conflict" Both written by people who have been there and former friends / colleagues of mine. I am also a fan of Bill Bryson's "A Walk In The Woods" If you can get hold of...

I would say that it's in man's nature to hoard, wealth is normally measured in material possession, greed drives humanity. That has little to do with ones geographical location. It's people's perception of things which make a major difference, a knackered washing machine to some people is junk...

Nothing wrong with that John, now if your eybrows had gotten out of control that would have been scary.

Hand made is a funny old thing. You can use a sewing machine and it's still hand made, it's just machine stitched. If the whole process was automated that would be different. Many things are sold as being handmade, but they have used machinery to make or create something, knives are a classic...

You may want to think of making sharpening boards. Double sided carpet tape, wet and dry and a flat board (a sheet of 3mm tufnol cut to 6 inch by 1.5 inch oblongs would do the job). this would give you the facility of carrying three stones with three different grits, potentially thin leather...

Striker and sizes of rods. The size of the rod does make a difference. The larger the diameter of the rod the greater surface area providing a larger amount of sparks. Strikers also make a difference, I like you, use a super striker, but the spine on an F1 works well as does the back of the...

Another good one is blackberry brandy.
