    Sleep mat for scouts

    I'm actually wondering if there is a more 'chonky' closed cell mat out there? Ive no problem with a larger thicker mat because once its down , its down for the duration and when you are up and moving its on the back of the bergen. So I'm wondering of there is anything out there that maybe a...

    New member- bushcraft qualification advice?

    I do feel that there a bit of a potential Eloi and Morlocks-esque type framework regarding the university/non-university divide. I've met some bright graduates ( in my opinion ) I've met some not-so-bright graduates ( in my opinion ) I've also met some very bright people that have not been to...

    What did you buy today?

    This - absolute bargain. I was concerned that the paperback version was going to be lesser quality and smaller but its full A4 and FULL of colour prints. Excellent value - going to enjoy digesting it this weekend.

    I think the question is more - does the method and process for qualifying for the certificate ACTUALLY provide adequate instruction and education.? There are many parallel situations from Plumbing , Aviation engineering , Tree surgery etc etc etc

    Gluing Gortex

    Its around the main frontal drop down section and currently its hanging and creating an uncontrollable gape. I need to get it repaired as opposed to moderating my expectations and living with it. If I can't glue it I will resort to sewing it - not ideal but better than a kick in the mamm glands.

    I have a few of the Scepter ones, they are top notch , but currently quite pricey even as surplus kit. Keep your eye out on FB marketplace or check Ebay - Some Mil surplus shops also seem to get access to them on occasion. They are very good however.

    Introduction to human tracking

    Reasonable question - and I will answer it - But I think its also important to acknowledge a timeline for myself as to when I first got introduced to tracking as that I feel is relevant - when you first are introduced to a new subject matter you tend to have your eyes widened the most I feel...

    Introduction to human tracking

    So I've just gotten back from attending this course - Instruction was excellent and concise with no unnecessary faff - plenty of time spent out on trails working as tracking teams. , studying tracks and substrates , applying usable theory and processes.

    Show me any industry or trade these days that can escape the deemed requirement to become regulated , documented and someone to charge a fee for producing an assessment of proficiency. As Bushcraft involves use of Sharp tools in remote places , potentially ingesting fungi and other things I...

    Chuck Norris RIP.

    Aye You may ( if you liked that sort of thing ) want to look into the backgrounds of some of the other golden era tough guys Steve McQueen Lee Marvin Burt Lancaster David Niven is definitely worth a delve in my opinion , but I'm biased.

    So if these are popular and used without concern in Germany - and I'm guessing other European countries , what are they doing that we are not?
