    Trip Report Wild Camp in the Brecklands

    Cracking little video - love these ASMR videos - the bird song and rustle of leaves just conjures up the need to be outside. That is a well-used ferro rod!! Thanks for sharing.

    Rucksack recommendations please

    Thanks Dan - at 5'7" id be surprised if any were short in the back for me :) - this being said, i did always feel the old NI packs/bergen shortbacks sat nice and high so only really a problem if heavily loaded and i DIDNT have webbing on _ back in the days when i had a real job anyway ;)

    Rucksack recommendations please

    Hi MrEd - solid suggestions thanks! i will swerve the camo - ive long been out of the forces, and whilst it was my "go to" for a while, it'll clash with my pink stilletos and spongebob sleeping bag! im a huge fan of the olive drab however, and the mrs doesnt find it so offensive!

    Back after a break - with my Son!

    Hi All, Im FINALLY back in the woods after a hiatus (my own fault really, lack of time, making excuses etc), and this time, fortunate enough to be joined by my son. We didnt venture far, to the end of the farm, but it felt like a mile away. I feel truly blessed my son has decided spending...

    Rucksack recommendations please

    Hi All, Back into the woods after a bit of a hiatus (kids!) ... sorting through a load of my old kit to find my old tatty cheap rucksack is now not really serviceable. So, im in the market for something a bit more robust. Keen to hear opinions. My key requirements are as follows: - axe strap...

    Recommendations - knife rescale and sheath

    Hi All, I have an old Bark River which have been using for years, for everything from skinning to whittling. I love the shape of the blade, and prefer it out of all my edged tools. When i recived this from a friend, he advised that due to his grave-digger sized hands he had someone "extend" the...

    Brew up thread

    Yes bud ... The ground was very spongy, and the 3 raised parts which should support the pot were useful in anchoring the whole thing down. Then I ended up suspending the billy anyway which rendered the whole exercise useless ha ... Adapt and not-quite-overcome! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The weekend starts now...

    So, in case you have been living under a rock for the last few weeks, then you probably know The Bushcraft Show is on this weekend...but not for me...a wedding, an ear infection, and a date with some rabbit control has anchored me well and truly to the farm - so, today I sacked off work early...

    A well needed bimble...

    Cheers guys! Always nice to blow the cobwebs away and just "be" for a time in the wood. Jaeger - I thought digitalis too by the lead shape, but I've never seen the flower column form like this - come to think of it, I've only ever seen the plant in flower. Will keep an eye on this and see how...

    A well needed bimble...

    Hi all, Only a few months ago it was literally standard practice for me to wander off to the furthest reaches of the farm for half a days de-compression. Well, a new job saw the end to that, and today for the first time in what feels like forever I managed to get up at 0430 and drag my tired...
