    That doesn’t work for me. Is it dead or just my end? EDIT: Working fine now.

    Dartmoor WS Knife

    I just loved the shape of the one you made. I’ve not seen Frenchies. I like the throwback tactical look on these. It’s all very 80’s badass survival stuff. Antler and wood should stay on my nice gentle bushcrafting knives. Not this nostalgia provoking beastie. Although I’m not adverse to...

    It certainly is. I remember the name very very well. Didn’t he have one of the first websites too? Something like Survive.com.

    Dartmoor WS Knife

    I don’t think any one has ever made a better handle than yours. Here it is… I mean, c’mon. That’s a thing of beauty.

    Dartmoor WS Knife

    The actual knife itself, with survival kit isn’t that bad at all. It’s supposed to be a big knife and designed foremost as a chopper. And it’s nicely balanced for that.

    Wales based survival TV experience.

    Of course it will. And we’ll have endless monologues about how sad they are and how they’ve lost this that and the other. And how they’re here to prove themselves to show everyone they have come through it. And how important bringing back the winning cash will be to them and their family. Then...

    Trip Report Celebrating First Blood 40th Anniversary

    Which model Buck was that? The BuckMaster 184? I have one somewhere which was allegedly supplied to the SEALS for a short period. The one with the daft grappling/anchor screw in inserts. That came out in 84 in response to them seeing the massive interest in Liles First Blood knife, and lucky...

    New Morakniv Morkret

    It’s a very tactical looking knife for Mora.

    Nessmuk - George Washington Sears YouTube series.

    I can understand why GWS took that approach with his axe as he was hunting and preparing game continuously.

    Maybe you’ve had some pine martens move in.

    Squirrel damage

    Yes. All the woodlands by me are infested and the limbs on trees are dying everywhere. And the young trees are not thriving as they’re debarked Mature trees are being stripped at a phenomenal rate. They predated most of the tilts and woodpecker nests and are stripping the trees of new...

    Seasonal Perspective

    I used to get SADs really badly. I got those daylight spectrum bulbs and that relieved it quite a bit. But I haven’t had any problem for years and don’t need them now. It’s the quickness of the shortening days that’s annoying.

    Cold steel special forces shovel mod question

    Easy fix, just weld up the wheels, crank and stem. You can’t underestimate the importance of a pushbike for carrying your shovel into the woods.

    Oooh look. A serrated version…. I don’t need one of these and I’ll never use it. But…

    Mosquitos

    You’re right. It was a very long time ago that we did that. Things have drastically changed in terms of advice and the actual contamination levels. I’ll chop that bit out .

    Mosquitos

    We have a decent sized pond with different sections that get isolated during hot weather. Perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes. But we never see any larvae. The other denizens of the pond and species attracted by the pond get them before they have chance to lay eggs. Those that do run the...
