    Sum up what we do.

    I quote often think of 'Bushcraft' as a holistic term for simply teaching myself the skills to enjoy the great outdoors responsibly on my own terms as best i can.......... without setting myself on fire, cutting off anything vital or poisoning myself :biggrin:

    Fallkniven U1 long term opinions

    I tried the U1 back when decent UK legal slippies were few and far between. Only my humble opinion but comes from a period of ownership and use. For any cuts requiring anything more than a slightly firm grip on the handle, i found it to be one of the most uncomfortable folding knives i have...

    I could eat a bowl of soup every day, how about you?

    What do you not eat that therefore makes you "weird"?

    Oysters :hungover: For me they are akin to what I imagine licking snot from an ashtray would be like..... Hateful things along with most other similar whelks, mussles, winkles etc. Just walking past one of these stands makes me wretch. I do like non-fishy fish though.
