Yep, me too. But where can you go ? :?: The unrestricted national park sort of places are all above the treeline. Anywhere below the treeline, and surely bushcraft is about being in the woods, is owned and fenced. Most of my bushcraft seems to get done on the patio. Well, she won't let me...

would this help ? Full size olive green £ 30 http://www.the-outdoor.co.uk/ishop/853/shopscr247.html :-) Jon

Joe at Outdoor Supplies UK is the Uk distributer. On British Blades forum he has two threads running. The first is a list of handle options and prices. http://www.britishblades.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4845 As I posted previously The second thread is a list of who has ordered what...

How much is a North Star ? Have a look here :biggthump http://www.britishblades.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4845 There is quite a choice of handle materials. Jon.

Wow, first the gallery and now my own personal weather forecast. Fantastic. Thanks to Tony and the team for all your hard work. Jon.

I've had good dealings with these: http://www.survivalschool.co.uk/ same people as http://www.trekdirect.co.uk/main.htm http://outdoorsuppliesuk.com/content.html Good for knives and torches etc. new website in the pipline so this one is not updated. Emails get quick response and good...

1 brass and 1 aluminium please. Thanks Jon.

Doesn't America have some odd business wranglings between the compass manufacturers ? I think it goes something like this : In America a distribution company has the rights to the name Silva Compasses and so gets Recta to make them and adds a label saying Silva. The Swedish compass...

I've had a Garmin 72 for about a year now. Very capable and configurable but not the most user freandly beast. Whoever organised the menu system needs a slap. Linking your gps to a computer makes route planning a piece of cake. No more entering grid referances with the up/down buttons...

Cold boots in the morning ? One answer is to use one of those little night light candles. I think they are known as T-lights, tiny metal cup filled with wax, you know the ones. A couple of minutes per boot should do the trick. Warm boots in the morning make you incredably smug and happy...

Is that Felleskap wrapped in a curtain ? Boy are you gonna be in trouble :-D Jon.

Nice work, very nice work. :-D :-D :-D What sort of wood is that ? It seems to have gone quiet here on the Felleskap front recently. Is that a good sign or a bad sign ? How is everyone else is getting on ? Come on guys, talk to us Jon.

Hi Rich Don't forget the Kelly Kettle comes in two sizes. 2 1/2 pint is the big one, the little one is 1 pint. Same design but will fit in your rucksack. :-D Got mine from our own Jack http://www.woodlandorganics.com/shop/misc/index.htm Jon

Recomendation for Tiranti's They don't take your credit card details online, they confirm those details over the phone. Spoke to them lunch time and the order was in my hand next morning. Nice people to do busines with. What was I buying ? Ren Wax and 1200 grit paper. :-D Jon

Hi Paulmac The jargon used by mountaineering people takes some time to figure out. Somtimes they use an ordinary sounding phrase and give it a specific meaning. But they don't explain that to joe public. Reading this thread I think that these phrases have made things confusing. I have a...

Once over the summer I got success using London Plane that had blown from the trees outside my house. :-D The problem is I daren't try again incase I fail. How shallow is that ? :oops: Jon.

:-D :-D :-D

Hi I got one :-D I thought I was being brave thinking about grinding the spine to sort out the tip. But changeing the bevels from convex to flat grind. It makes sense but now you've got me scared. That idea is going to go ticking around in my empty little head and convince me that I can do...

Wow So that's how you do it. After the Felleskap is ready the next project will be the sheath. I'm sure that Colin suggested something about making a kit available .......... This is all a learning experience, and it really helps when someone takes the time to point you in the right...

Christopher: I was sorry to hear about the Jiffy Bag "Teaser" that you recieved. Mine had made a bid for freedom and was sticking through the bag when it arrived. :shock: Maybe I should have got the Thuya Burl from Axminster but I went with Brisa instead. Why ? I wanted some mosaic pins...
