I suspect that this is one of those unanswerable questions. Like…”Why do people use custom knives when Moras do everything?” Three reasons I think this: The length of time since the first folders. No one left to ask. Ask a dozen folder lovers today, in place free enough to carry whatever...

‘cause knives that can fold have always been, and will always be, cooler and more interesting than any fixed blade.

Welcome to the forum! If you are in the Midlands, you might like to consider coming to one of the Bushmoots, just west of Coventry. https://www.bushmoot.com/

Depends how much I want to show off! I tend to have some form of lighter with me, either gas/piezo or a sealed liquid fuel/wick version. I have ferro rods, and have used in damp, but something that makes a flame is nice and shortens the prep work a lot. I have not used purchased or prepared...

Hello and welcome!

I am not willing to entirely rule out that there could be a case for a lighter head that occupies the same volume as a heavier steel head…but…. The consistent use of deceptive marketing language in the advertising makes me think the aim is sell to the uninformed rather than make a practical high...

Hello Rob, I haven’t used many tents (mostly camped in hammocks) so might not have much advice but it strikes me that a little more info might help with advice from other people. Regarding second hand, do you have somewhere that things can be mailed for you? For instance, if something suitable...

Having been a devotee of tarps, and tarps with hammocks, for many years, I would suggest you look at trekking poles tents, and things like floorless tents and tipis. For example, One Tigris. Tarps can be lighter and compact, but those Aussie military stretcher hootchies weighted a lot for their...

I have a tea light lantern and a pressure petrol lantern, and would like something in between, running off battery (cool, no flames).

Yup. Makers are likely to see many clients, a new client is just another Thursday, so they see problems 5% of the time. Meanwhile the client might have worked with only one or two makers, and if there is a problem it’s 50-100% of their experience base. Managing expectations is very important...

Some recent conversations got me thinking about this. Giving or accepting a commission to make a custom item can be a bit of a risky balancing act. Both maker and client risk getting stiffed. The more custom the item, the riskier it is for the maker. A standard Woodlore shaped knife with...

He has had enough posts to use Direct Message, and has likely been trying to buy knives or trade via the DM system.

Hello and welcome to the forum.:camping:

It might be difficult, but it is a requirement for posting items for sale. Otherwise you can end up with bidding, possibly done invisibly, and that is to be avoided. Ask for what you would like, and see if it sells. Give it a few days before thinking about lowering the price. Only you know...

I am in full agreement with Broch. Also, mod hat on…looking at you @demented dale, HorseGuy was not posting a Want ad and Stew wasn’t posting an advertisement, please don’t suggest pulling sales out of the Classified area. Depends on when and why you are cutting wood. I have a GB Mini, GB...

cats telling everyone they meet that they are cold, staving, abandoned waifs, when in fact they have a home and were given a good meal just that morning! Cats sitting on the stairs, looking like they are completely disinterested in the dog nervously wanting to pass. Dog finally gets courage to...

Was on Netflix, but apparently no longer available to watch anywhere. I can see there could be copyright issues. I also think, having seen this on Netflix, that it’s one of the best films for explaining hunting in its pros, cons, and philosophy. Whether you hunt, or think it’s horrible, this...
