Wholly agree

Glad someone grabbed it, had no idea this would lead to such a nailbiter. My alert is probably still active, so I'll post if I hear of another one.

Just got a notification that Abe books have a copy of Andrew Lane's Survival Advantage for about £6.50 delivered. Alas I bought mine full price a month ago, so this is a bargain someone else can have...

Amen.

Smashed the piggy bank and took myself along to the Wilderness Gathering. Came away with a Silky Gomboy Outback, Zebra steel plate and a Rob Evans Bushtool S. Very happy. And broke.

To give you my experiences: I've just been using the Dutch hooped bivvy for a week doing the Frontier Intermediate course. The bivvy certainly adds some warmth to your overall set up, but it isn't the difference between cold-just right-sweltering. That's going to be down to the rest of your...

Just to note, I received this from SoldierPalmer and it's an absolute beauty. Thanks again for the brilliant gesture.

Stunning

I would very gratefully take that from you SP!

It is! Nice surprise

Boning up for a bushcraft course in a couple of weeks. Just finished Ray's Outdoor Survival Handbook so picked up a copy of Survival Advantage. Impressed with the readability and thoroughness so far.

Excellent, thanks for the tip, I'll give that a try.

Another gorgeous piece, Mark. I've been working on a coffee scoop from a piece of walnut, but I've had the blank for years and it's seasoned like granite. I (and my hook knife) dread going back to it, but we'll get there eventually!

A Victorinox Forester M Grip. Wanted something pocket sized that could cover off cooking/food prep as well as a bit of campcraft. I looked at the Rangergrip, but felt it was slightly overkill. So far love it except for the liner lock which, for me as a right-hander, operates totally...

Just to add that I agree with Chris and Teedee - I can't see how there is any legal issue with you owning, gifting or selling this knife. Part of the definition of a zombie knife is that it displays: "images or words (whether on the blade or handle) that suggest that it is to be used for the...

Just wondering what the source is for this new law being applied, I couldn't find anything?

I've never seen the carve-your-own Opinel before. It would make a fabulous gift, but it seems to only be available from Opinel with €17 delivery. For my money, I do like micarta for durability. My next-to-be-tested knife is a Joker Bushlord with unstabilised walnut scales. It's very grippy, but...

Hi, just checking if this was sold in the end?

All received - cracking bag. Many thanks!

I don't know if it's the same, but when the battery is low on my Seiko Kinetic, the second hand moves in 2-second jumps to indicate it needs charging.
