    Poor quality boots

    Different style could be Clark’s “Active Air” (I think) boots. Built on a wide last so I came down a size. They are very comfortable and have a reasonably grippy sole. Not sure about resoling. Available on eBay for about £60. NOT nasty weather wear unless you have sealskins inside. Very...

    Buffalo 4S Outer sleeping bag

    I had a set in the mid-80s. I liked it when at a basecamp or on exercise with transport. I once humped it around Rannoch Moor and the Grey Corries on a bothying/Munroing AT trip at Easter in snowy conditions. No worries with the wet and abuse. Did dry out damp clothing overnight. BUT...

    Carrying heavy cooking gear

    I've used the Pathfinder Skillet with a lid (? right name?) for overnights and longer trips. Combined with a Mors-type bushpot and the army surplus metal mug + homemade lid that I usually carry = a wide variety of options for cooking different meals, including baking bread. Not real...

    Axe upgrade

    Can I add my 2d worth here, please? I can't comment on splitters as my woodburner has not arrived yet so I don't have any input; however, if Suffolkrafter has the ability to put a shaving edge on a cheapy axe, I'd suggest that he should invest time and skills into sort-of making his own...

    A Few Old Relics on The Mountain

    Thanks for sharing your pictures and walk. The area reminds me of the Sooke Hills outside Victoria, BC. The Galloping Goose Trail is a wonderful cycling/hiking trail. I believe it dates back to the late 1800s. In the museum in Victoria there was a story of a revolver and a money chest being...

    Looking for a kydex sheath

    Apologies for adding to John’s OP, but I’m after 2 Kydex sheaths: for a Spyderco Bushcraft knife and a Rob Evans bush tool. Can anyone offer suggestions, please? I am only interested in UK-based makers.

    Tick removal

    I have found that, working with kids (Scouts), the plastic type don't always give a good grip on the tick. My current preferred tool is a metal tweezer-type with hooked ends. I think it came from Tiso's, but I'm not sure. To date I am a multiple tick ace with (touch wood) 100% success...

    sheath, ferro or no ferro?

    As others have said so well, the matter seems to be more personal choice than anything. I have had both types of sheath but I tend not to carry a ferro rod on the sheath but rather in my pocket, secured to a lanyard by a mini carabiner (Alpkit type) together with my SAK. If I use the rod, it...
