Probably the best answer to your question is "When I need it straight". The chestnut came out of the coppice by the thousand, boiled, peeled, bent. Then off to the NHS, before they started using the horrible aluminium ones with the complicated and environmentally toxic processes involved. Such a...

Chestnut walking stick handles are bent as soon as they’re cut, we used to drop them into an oil drum of boiling water, peel and bend in a jig. Bent Blackthorn or whatever I try to dry straight with even air circulation. I’ve had a few sticks develop a bend by me leaning them up in a crowded...

I read the opening post, so it's nothing bushcraft at all, but what I'd recommend if anyone enquired about the subject. Project Unity is a great channel, Jay is doing good stuff about the pyramids, even interviewing the Italian scientist who discovered the pillars and labyrinths beneath. This...

I reckon this is a great choice. It has a bigger curve than most hawkbills. Locking isn’t a problem if your intention is to use the knife for what it’s designed to do, it’s too easy to close a hooked blade on your fingers while reaching in.

That stuff is disgusting, like Germoline flavoured oil. Warm salt water is what the dentist recommends, the pink stuff we swilled with as kids wasn't salty at all, certainly not Himalayan Rock salt solution. Himalayan salt is the same as any other salt solution, I wouldn't go out of my way for...

Storacell battery caddies. Getting fed up with the cheap plastic cases breaking and loose batteries rolling around and getting lost. Orange for charged and black for needing charging.

School dinner smell was a combo of tinned peas, boiled cabbage, and mince and onions. I catch a nauseating nostalgic whiff in hospitals around lunchtime.

I'll take the Blazer please.

I think this is pointless after the handle has been altered, any warranty will be void.

Nice load of Turkey Tails

This afternoon, a nice example of what happens when the chainsaws are left in the shed.

Hornbeam woods near here. The little seedlings with the moss on them are several years old, and as we coppice they'll suddenly shoot up due to having beautifully developed root systems in the natural biome.

Hi Camperman Andy :)

Whatever way you look at it you'll either need trees or poles, I don't see how anyone can erect a tarp on open ground without. Telescopic or folding walking poles are lightweight and also highly useful things to have with you on difficult ground or simple river and stream crossings. Lost track...

Haven’t tried one, but these Wurkkos CL01 get great reviews. Nice and cheap too. https://wurkkos.com/products/cl01-camping-light

If you posted this question on BudgetLightForums you'd get a resounding shout for Sofirn LT1. But I'd grab the LT1S, it's a smaller version and doesn't have as many modes (things to confuse you). I'll do some pics later for you. Runs warm to cool which is adjustable, has red mode. Has smooth or...

Whole pages, bet you'll find something ready made. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=screw+in+led+bulbs

Wouldnt be hard to solder a 3v LED into place on such a simple light. I see these BudgetLightForum guys buying torches and finicking their desired emitters and lenses into the host body all the time. Is it the screw in ones pictured below the battery on the Teklite website? I reckon you could...

Horrible white light from the cheap emitter on the Maglites. A Skilhunt E3A is about the smallest, single mode AAA light, comes with a high colour rendition emitter option. This is much better for reflecting true colours.

Two N size with a heat shrink tube should work. The heat shrink should increase the diameter to fit the battery tube and prevent rattling.
