Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate the benefit of a black plastic water bottle, however, I’d prefer a metal version. I don’t need it to be tactically silent, I would like it to be boilable over a fire, like the Pathfinder and Nalgene metal bottles. The titanium versions may have their...

That’s one idea. I’d prefer a bottle that fits the mk1 mug and is made from stainless steel. Is there one?

Greetings Does anyone know of a metal water bottle that fits the mk1 (or 2, I suppose) British metal mug? I quite like the round mug and bottle combinations a la Self Reliance/ Pathfinder School but find the kidney shaped mug more appealing overall. I’m aware of the Pathfinder Canteen and Mug...

Useful knot, thanks for sharing. Do others use the Canadian jam knot for similar purposes?

Great job, thanks for sharing. I bought a fully made version years ago, after the initial production problems were resolved. I still use it occasionally and lend it to more reliable Scouts if they are knifeless at camp. It is a solid and reliable knife that won’t let you down. I’m sure you...

Shame - was hoping for rare fen brown bear sign.

To misquote Shelley: if Spring comes, can Winter be far behind?

Ok, I’m canvassing family members. Would “not black” incur the £5 tariff?

Thanks for sharing the information.

Excuse my ignorance but I can’t seem to google the difference between Classic and Classic SD. Please define. Apologies for what may be basic level Bushcraft terminology failure

Does anyone have experience with the Bushcraft Store “fat” firesteels? Are they a gimmick or worth paying a bit more for? I like LMF steels. I have found that the plastic handles fall off almost immediately, however…

Today is the anniversary of Mors Kochanski’s death. I’m going into the woods to light a fire in his memory.

But last year’s colours!!??

To address the issue of cost, one option is to buy a cheap army surplus smock and wear it over a more expensive goretex or other jacket. That avoids spark holes and removes most of the rustle.

For all the flak it gets, I still like double Ventile jackets for faffing about in woodland and/or wildfowling. Add a good wool layer or two and you will keep both warm and dry - always allowing for openings to vent if you need to move. While I appreciate that Ventile can burn, I have never...

That is a very nice knife. I have a Rob Evans Bushtool and can thoroughly recommend his work.

I've had my Mk1 BCB plastic lid for 5+ years now and no problems. Just home from a weekend with Scouts and enjoyed brews that kept warm but remained drinkable under it while supervising over-excited campers. There's a bloke on Ebay who sells aluminium lids for Crusader mugs (both flavours) at...

Please add a little more information as I’m uncertain about size: what waist measurement?

+1 for dowel and Autosol

Shame - we’re going to be in mid-Wales briefly but can’t travel further south as due in Edinburgh next week then back to the north. Good luck with the sale.
