I have noticed that a good number of military or military-inspired jackets have zipped pockets on the upper arm section of the sleeves. Given that the jacket itself is usually equipped with larger, more readily accessible pockets, what are these sleeve ones for? Does anyone use them? If so, what...

I have been using a Spyderco Doublestuff ceramic stone for keeping an edge in the field. I am now wondering whether I should move over to a natural stone to sharpen my blade. What are people's thoughts about natural stone and ceramic-type stones? Which are better/ more effective?

It is with something of a heavy heart that I feel the need to bid farewell to these cutting tools. However, they are not being used and I hope that they will be in their new homes. As previously, there are a few guidelines: - I am not interested in exchanges. - Price includes postage to U.K...

As a quiet resolution, I decided to move on any gear that I do not use; this Orford 25th Anniversary Woodlander falls into that category. - I am not interested in exchanges; - the price includes delivery to any U.K. postal address; - I do not do PayPal - the money is to be transferred to my...

When I started down the bushcraft route, many years ago and for a variety of reasons, I was told that the Scandinavian grind was the one to have on my knife. I took this as gospel and so bought suitably ground blades from then on, ignoring other options. Now, courtesy of my Peltonen M07, I find...

Does anyone know of a genuinely effective way of deodorising boots? I have a pair of much-loved and much-used Altberg boots which now stink whenever I wear them. I have tried changing the insoles, washing the insoles and spraying the boots' interiors but to no avail. I do not want to get rid of...

For reasons best known to itself, the walnut tree in my garden has produced a titanic quantity of nuts this year. I have gathered a log basket full, several containers in which I'd normally place apples and pears, as well as all the colanders I possess; there remains even more to come...

A further clear out! The following four axes and two Orford knives are available for sale. As before, there are a few points I'd like to make: - all items include postage to mainland U.K. addresses; - payment is by bank transfer - I'm afraid I don't do PayPal; - I am not interested in...

At last, I have found the axe that suits me perfectly for all those bushcraft-y tasks - 'one axe to rule them all', if you like. So, the following are surplus to requirement. It's worth mentioning the following points: - I am not interested in part exchanges or trades. - All prices include...

A friend of mine recently showed me a carving axe that he had bought at the recent Bodgers Ball. It was one of those tools that exuded quality of design and manufacture; the fact that it was hand made in Somerset deepened the appeal and piqued my interest - dangerously. So, I went online and...

I have been having a clear out and decided to sell the following, simply because I just don't use them. They are all generally in good or very good condition. *Please note the following: - the price includes delivery to mainland U.K. addresses - sales will be done on a strictly...

In one of my regular clear-outs, I came across an embarrassing number of rucksacks that I simply don't use. Some have been used once, some not at all. So, rather than have them cluttering up my cupboard, I thought I'd offer them for sale. *Please note the following: - the price includes...

...recently. It's a PK2 from Simon Fearnhamm at the Raven Armoury. It's been a while coming but is a very beautifully made knife. I used to have a PK1 which, again, was faultlessly made but really too much of a club for my purposes. This PK2 looks to be much more useful to me. Here's a...

Here is the scenario: you are heading out into the woods for a month; you have all the 'necessaries' with you in your rucksack, that is to say - something to sleep under, something to sleep on and something to sleep in, food (including brew kit), water bottles and means of purifying, clothes and...

I've now had a bit of time to get to know my M23 and so I offer this little review with my findings. I find myself using smaller knives quite a lot nowadays. When out in the woods, I still carry and utilise a 'standard' (c. 11cm blade) knife but the shorter, finer blades are easier to use and...

I'd like to illustrate a review I'm hoping to offer one and all. How do I upload pictures on to it? I'm not very tec. savvy so please make any explanations easy for me to understand! Many thanks for any/all help!

My hand is hovering perilously close to the 'add to cart' button for a leuku. I am aware of the range of uses to which the Sami people put them but am still wondering whether it is a useful cutting tool to have for bushcraft in the U.K.. Any help, guidance, opinions and/or experience on this...
