I must admit that I didn't know about beef jerky before BCUK. Here in Italy there are some typer of dried meat products, in my region mostly made with horse meat, in Friuli and Trentino with other typer of meat(beef, deer..) but they're quite different from jerky, less spiced. So I bought...

Hallo Tim, welcome to BCUK!

They offer an excellent service and super fast shipping, and please note that I'm in Italy. Maybe the contact form doesn't work, try giving them a call. Cheers, Paolo

These are really nice all-round boots, lightweight but with good shock absorption, maybe a little stiff, but you can also use them to walk on hard terrain and rocks, I cannot but recommend these boots. Just a side note on the sizing, in my personal experience you need to get a pair a little...

Thanks a lot mate, I'll try with your recipe! Cheers Paolo

I have always read that you must add cream of tartar to the final misture. Is this correct? Anyone can give me some hint? I love ginger beer, I think I have doubled Bundaberg's income during my last trip to Australia with all the bottles I have bought, but here in Italy it's impossibile to...

Well, that's a tough question.. But if I had to answer in this moment I will choose the following pic. (Valley of the Winds, Kata Tjuta, NT Australia).

That's an awesome trip! Great pics. Thanks for sharing, cheers Paolo

Thanks for the comments, it's really a beautiful place. It's in the Dolomiti, Pale di San martino. It's a protected area, so you can't do a lot of things (pick up mushrooms without a permit, cut woods, light a fire) but the scenery is really amazing, with different ecosystems, you have a...

The last weekend out with my wife was about the middle of september, I didn't have the chance to share some pics with all of you, but... hope it's not too late to do it now.. This is the place (yes, the ugly thing it's me): While walking in the woods we met a nice Vipera berus...

Hi, just in case you need a plastic buckle, a cord lock or end, a snap hook, or maybe a plastic emergency whistle, take a look at ITW Nexus. They have a lot of nice stuff, and, they send up to 15 items as free samples, enough for a small house project. E.G. these are nice for a paracord...

Form the Australian Bushfoods and Native Medicine forum, a good link: http://www.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/education/Resources/bush_foods. There is a downloadable pdf file on the right. Cheers Paolo

I must admit that my favourite mushroom recipe is a risotto with mushrooms (boletus edulis preferred) and this. (here is zucca how do you call this, pumpkin or squash?) I have sometimes made also some great lasagne with the same two ingredients. I could eat mushrooms every day... one of my...

I have bought about one year ago, the black one with the survival kit (not needing it but it was the only one available, and for the same price of the plain one). It's one of the knives I won't ever give away. Small and light enough to be carried as companion blade, it takes a good edge and...

Have you considered the ESEE machete? It seems a nice tool.

This site contains the most impressive list of flashlights comparison and beamshot images I have ever seen. If you need to compare some flashlights before buying I think it's worth a visit. Hope you find it useful, cheers Paolo

I have the LD 20. Nice torch, small enough to be carried anytime I need it and powered by the same AA batteries that fit in my gps, my pocket camera... I plan to upgrade to a bigger one even if i don't really need it .. it's my gadget addiction that sometimes comes back to life...

Much much much more.... If you take a look here a couple of First Blood knives have been sold for 16000 and 12000 USD some years ago...

+1 for Polyporus squamosus

I'm planning to change my supercheap axe and I was thinking to buy a Wetterlings too: I only have to choose between the Small Hunting and the Wildlife one. I have found them online for about 50 euros here (I have bought a knife there and it's a good seller). Any other good online shop to...
