    show your modified Opinel knife

    I have one of Frenchy's Opinel and firesteel combos in a leather sheath, see down the page here http://www.customknivesandsticks.co.uk/firesteels.htm. I think they are pretty sweet.

    Otter on Great Ouse

    That's a pretty rare sight in that neck-of-the-woods, for that matter anywhere. Nice one. Fishermen would tell you they grow large, quickly by eating all the specimen fish in the rivers since their re-introduction. There is quite a debate in angling circles at least.

    fake north face site??

    I think you're missing the point somewhat but I don't have the energy to argue about this. I'm off out. Have a nice year. Chris

    fake north face site??

    The World has gone brand crazy. I keep real respect for local, non-branded artisan products. Would we really suffer if a few big well established brands disappeared? I very much doubt it. In some ways we'd be better off. Chris

    running with the fox

    Yes, you're right. Anyway, I agree that it is definitely a good book, well worth a read. Chris

    running with the fox

    Good book. One of many interesting conclusions based on his pretty thorough research, regardless of what you think about the killing of sentient creatures for 'sport', is that generally fox hunting with hounds is good for fox populations: by de-emphasising other more deadly forms of population...

    Very sound advice! Read. A lot. Then decide.

    I want to buy a good all purpose knife

    Sure. I ordered this from Guy as one of his standard 3mm 01 bushcrafters and specified tapered tang, wooden handle with complimentary liners and mosaic pins. IIRC, he proposed the two-tone Amboyna burl and then I left it with him. The knife arrived several months later. Overall length is 240mm...

    I want to buy a good all purpose knife

    Be warned, this knife thing is addictive :) I started looking for one to use and now have way too many according to some :rolleyes: Ahh, the lure of the sharp shinies :D Anyway, Stuart Mitchell and Guy Stainthorp have been mentioned. I have knives by them both and they are both outstanding...

    Svord Peasant Orange Only

    Couple of comparison pics. Blue one is ground as I would expect, Orange one a bit odd. Anyone else get this at all?

    Top 10 Christmas 'Survival' Films

    I know it's almost a cliche in terms of Bushcrafty-movies-with-a reasonable-plot-and-some-action, but Jeremiah Johnson remains my absolute favourite.

    Guyot Water Bottle

    I've been using a couple of these for a year or so now and they are excellent. There was a group buy on BB a while back. I think they have changed the design since I got mine, the neck in the photos on Bushcraft USA looks a little different, better I'd say. I'd recommend the splash guard, I...
