    recommend me a good outdoorsy film

    Not a movie as such, and not new to this forum, but Lars Monsen's Nordkalotten series is available on YouTube with English subtitles thanks to the excellent channel set up by Opoi0 :You_Rock_ Just been watching them again myself. Really great Bushcrafty TV. Lars is the real deal, a real tough...

    Otter on Great Ouse

    That's a pretty rare sight in that neck-of-the-woods, for that matter anywhere. Nice one. Fishermen would tell you they grow large, quickly by eating all the specimen fish in the rivers since their re-introduction. There is quite a debate in angling circles at least.

    fake north face site??

    I think you're missing the point somewhat but I don't have the energy to argue about this. I'm off out. Have a nice year. Chris

    fake north face site??

    The World has gone brand crazy. I keep real respect for local, non-branded artisan products. Would we really suffer if a few big well established brands disappeared? I very much doubt it. In some ways we'd be better off. Chris

    running with the fox

    Yes, you're right. Anyway, I agree that it is definitely a good book, well worth a read. Chris

    running with the fox

    Good book. One of many interesting conclusions based on his pretty thorough research, regardless of what you think about the killing of sentient creatures for 'sport', is that generally fox hunting with hounds is good for fox populations: by de-emphasising other more deadly forms of population...

    I want to buy a good all purpose knife

    Sure. I ordered this from Guy as one of his standard 3mm 01 bushcrafters and specified tapered tang, wooden handle with complimentary liners and mosaic pins. IIRC, he proposed the two-tone Amboyna burl and then I left it with him. The knife arrived several months later. Overall length is 240mm...

    I want to buy a good all purpose knife

    Be warned, this knife thing is addictive :) I started looking for one to use and now have way too many according to some :rolleyes: Ahh, the lure of the sharp shinies :D Anyway, Stuart Mitchell and Guy Stainthorp have been mentioned. I have knives by them both and they are both outstanding...

    Svord Peasant Orange Only

    Couple of comparison pics. Blue one is ground as I would expect, Orange one a bit odd. Anyone else get this at all?
