    Landowners Official Permission

    I have permission to do as I please with a small patch of woodland (the owner bought it as they owned the adjacent farmland and access track) and my only obligation is to challenge anyone else I see on their property. Most small woodland is owned by local farmers and the larger areas by the...

    Tools for the Car.

    I'm surprised no one's mentioned the ubiquitous poncho yet - as a youngster I binned a car and spent the best part of an hour waiting for recovery in the midst of a bloody awful storm, so always keep an old blanket in the boot and cheap fold flat ponchos stashed in the door pockets.. Other than...

    Shelter building

    +1 for WWOOFing, volunteer work on farms and woodlands in exchange for bed and board. Friend of mine had a guy come for 3 weeks to learn woodwork and he left 2 and a half years later. Probably not a permanent solution but it could be an option if you wanted it.

It's probably...

    Favourite Schraftin book

    Not exactly bushcraft, more woodsmanship, but I found Ben Law's Woodland Year a great read, his conversational style is easy to read and his depth of passion and knowledge for his way of life is really refreshing - I'll be ordering his Woodland Way and Woodland Workshop books soon.. As a kid I...

    " Did You Know ? "

    Did you know that Pi has recently been calculated to over 31 trillion decimal places, but NASA only uses Pi to 15 decimal places to put rockets into orbit, and it's reckoned you'd only need Pi to 40 decimal places to measure the entire universe to near atomic levels of precision.
