That's a shame. I was planning on kitting out the new workshop with some of their stuff.

Me too

We all need those once in a while Enjoy

are you going to the makers meet next month? If so you might be able to arrange a session with a talented individual...

It's interesting to see how different groups around the world have solved the same problem. clearing scrub is a world wide task and the tools from around the world are designed to work with the local environment. If it's mainly grass the blade tends to be thinner etc. Like many of us I have...

I normally use 18/3 linen thread. easily available online

I would look for one of the Ecoflow type packs. Bluyeti (sp) is another brand. A stand alone power bank with options for USB, 12v and 230v. Some also have cableless charging too. Charges from the cig lighter as you travel. You can then use the lower power 12v and USB with little inverter drop...

Thanks Dave Thought you'd like the cheese!

Thanks I did! It's made from 4mm thick 01 tool steel sheet. the only bit i didn't do was the heat treatment.

At the summer moot in July I was lucky enough to win the raffle prize of a knife blank made by our resident blacksmith Dave Dudd. I rooted through my firewood pile and found a nice piece of Hawthorn that looked promising. An orange spacer finishes the look. Finished with food safe wood oil...

What are you looking for? the blade or the tools? Some SAKs are flight safe with no blade but do have the tools. If you want a blade then surely any local hardware store or fishing shop etc would be able to help there. Perhaps thats the answer... A flight safe SAK that you can take without...

I always fancied one of their travel suits - no reason to wear it except to be smart on the occasional holiday flight though..

And you can try Rohan themselves perhaps? You can't be the only one in this position...

Ignoring the cringe worthy pun... Cervical trauma often isn't life threatening unless it's very high up. Life changing yes but not life threatening. Therefore i wouldn't put it on this list.

Not what we've been taught. Remember this is the primary survey. A quick once over to assess the patient. The time and skill level it takes to assess and stablise a neck - and all this to be done before you check if they are breathing?! Seems strange to me - but then again, i don't have the...

The thing is tourniquets should only be used for injuries that can't be controlled with direct pressure. They should be a last resort, not the first option. When assessing the situation upon first arrival you go through the DRABC. Except now they put in an extra C. DRCABC. For Catastrophic...

I think Wayne said it well at the moot. There are a few absolute protocols - but only a few - CPR being the obvious one. Most other things are opinion, common sense, experience. Therefore if the trainer knows the subject, as opposed to how to teach, the student will have varying answers. If the...

Depends what you are trying to achieve in the woodland. If it's a crop and will be harvested in the same way as a field of wheat, you want as dense as possible to get the maximum return so 1m is preferred - even if that means excluding every other species. A mature mixed woodland you could get...

Certainly in our area (and other areas i seen in the UK) the ambulance use CatC tourniquets. The HART teams have bandoleers holding 20 or so of them for attending mass casualty situations. I have at least one CatC on every pack i use for bushcraft. I have a trauma pack with a SWAT version in my...

Yes, One of the common plans when planting new trees is to put them 1m apart. Not because when they grow it will become a wall of tree trunks! Some will die from natural causes, some will be eaten, some will be removed as part of the thinning process to allow the stronger trees to spread. The...
