Wanted as above Cold Steel Barong machete

I was perusing tinterwebs recently and came across this name and this knife on Scorpion knives website , firstly it’s like no Bushcraft blade I’ve ever seen and secondly I’ve and I don’t mean this at all in a disparaging fashion never heard of Ross Douglass ? Just out of curiosity anyone know...

I am sure there are many items of kit , classic and modern offerings , some that are only out of production relatively recently , and some pieces of kit having ceased production decades and decades ago that you like the look of and wish you were able to get your hands on given the chance. Kit...

I was offered said US Army ICS tent a few weeks ago for a bargain price, allegedly a great piece of kit, I’ve not bought it, for two reasons those being that bloody awful UCP camouflage pattern chiefly and also not sure just how roomy they are and me being a bit of a lump too. Got me thinking...

Firstly i can only speak for myself when i say this of course but i suspect it may be the same for other members of this illustrious forum, at least those of a certain vintage that is I still get a little bit of that excitement in my stomach at the sight of 1980’s style Survival Knives just as...

I’am looking to buy a new tent for me and the missus, to be used all year round from the height of summer to the depths of winter. It needs to be roomy so not a 2 man then, able to use a wood stove, car and canoe camping not for backpacking. What you got and it recommend? I have cast my eye...

Years ago said company produced there own knife, I remember really liking the look of it, I’am guessing more than a few folk off this splendid place would have bought themselves one at the time. Do any of you still own or use this knife regularly today?

A few years back a meet up in Stourbridge was organised, it was a good night and I think everyone who made it that evening enjoyed themselves. Well how about we do it again??? Anyone who is interested say so on this thread and if enough of you fine folk decide it’s summat you fancy doing then...

I fancy a new Schraftin watch, anyone got much or any experience with any of CWC’s offerings. I like the look of the Sapphire G10.

Being a bit of a lump and truly hating feeling constricted at all I am never the most comfortable in a sleeping bag despite doing so for years. So I thought it time to have a looksee at a quilt. Having had a glance there all seemingly very pricey. Anyone feel the same and switched over to a...

I’am sure like most others here I have quite a collection of books on our favourite subject, maybe a modest one compared to some but a collection all the same. Now I know it’s not exactly strictly a Bushcraft book but the first book I bought back in 85/86 is still my favourite and that’s Ole...

Anyone know the history of these smocks, they look interesting if not firmly in the expensive side. https://www.silvermans.co.uk/products/r-and-i-training-smock-green?_pos=15&_sid=08662c03c&_ss=r&variant=19775539544118

Always been a bourbon chap meself, nice drap of Makers Mark, Woodford Reserve, Blanton’s in a little hip flask at the end of the night. Smashing stuff. At more reasonable end Jim Beam, Bulliet, Buffalo Trace all very nice too. What are you ladies n gents preferred fire side sippages???

What is everyone using these days? I need a new one, full length, durable, comfy and hopefully when not in use not too bulky. I’am six foot tall and really heavy.

It’s time to find a myself a nice piece of land, a permission is the conclusion I’ve arrived at. The rona has very much curtailed my wanderings over these months and the reckless selfish behaviour of many folks round these parts in dumping crap and leaving all manner of trash in the places I...

Had a hankering for a Spyderco Bushcraft BCUK knife for a while now, if anyone has one they don’t mind parting with for a fair price let me know.

I’ve had a real hankering for a large reindeer pelt for a long time now. So to you learned knowledgeable Shrafters where how how much and why???

Years ago, well I bet most of us have used an enamel mug in the past. They were common place at one time, I was gifted a Falcon enamel cup and I’ve used it all year so far, I love it. It’s so nice to drink from, hot drinks, cold drinks it’s great. I find it’s particularly nice to drink water...
