Evening all, I've recently returned from a trip where the rain was torrential. I've not experienced rain like it before in the UK, so thank you Isle of Skye for the education. As I knew the weather would be very wet, I went about Nikwax Tech Washing my rain gear, and then using TX.Direct...

Hi all, I have an umbilical dive torch which runs on two batteries (Mares XR LC 26650 5000mAh 3.7V) driving a 2000 lumen torch for just over 2hrs. They measure in at 69x26mm I'm looking for a couple of extra batteries as these take a long time to charge, maybe 12 hrs with the supplied...

Morning all, I'm planning ahead for a few weeks in Scotland, about a week on Skye with the remainder out and about wherever takes our fancy. Before I buy my usual OS Explorer Active (1:25,000 scale) I seem to recall hearing/reading somewhere that there may be another brand of maps which is...

Spyderco Para3 in Maxamet in grey G10 (but with box for a UKPK). Really smooth and rapid blade action and has seen very little use. As this is Maxamet super steel with absurd edge holding abilities, it will corrode very easily on you, and this has rust spots on the blade which I have...

Afternoon Bushcrafters, I realised on my most recent camp that I've not ever really used a Woodlore-profile knife. Therefore, I'd like to change that. I've been using a fixie from Mike Read in recent years, and an RJ Evans Bushtool before that. Must be a zero ground scandi (no secondary edge)...

Hello Bushcrafters, For sale is my trusty KarrimorSF Sabre 60-100. This is an extremely well-made pack capable of expanding in capacity from 60 to 100 litres, using the side compression zips. You can also add certain PLCE side pouches to a separate pair of zips, meaning you can carry it as a 60...

Afternoon, For sale is a Zero Tolerance 0462 in black and red carbon fibre, with titanium lock side with steel interface insert and 4 inch CPM 20CV cutting edge (3.75 inch blade measurement is if you go from blade tip to tip of handle scale, the actual cutting edge is rather longer). This has...

Evening all, For sale is a very lightly used Spyderco Smock in carbon fibre and CPM S30V. This uses a button actuated compression lock, and is an incredibly addictive fidgeter and has a beautifully hollow ground reverse tanto blade. This has only ever been stropped by me having been used a few...

Afternoon all, For sale is an unusual folding pocket knife, which can be seen as somewhat akin to the Axis lock as the Reeve integral frame lock is to the liner lock - a beefed-up, solid titanium version, with the lock springs exposed on the exterior of the handle, providing an almost steam...

Afternoon all, I'm starting out on my SCUBA journey and am looking for a dive computer. It will be used both in warmer climes and the UK, possibly year round if I can stomach it! At this stage the contenders are: Garmin Descent Mk2s (for its usability outside of the water, which let's face...

Evening BCUK, I've recently taken up SCUBA diving and am looking for dive torches. In doing so, I've come across plenty of ~1000 lumen torches, running on a single 3500 mAh 18650, and most estimate runtimes of 1hr30-2hrs. However, this Xtar D20, also using a single 3500 mAh 18650 claims 4hr...

Afternoon Bushcrafters, For sale is a Taiga (also called Peski) jacket made by Sasta from 100% Ventile. In brief, this is cotton that is woven in such a way that when it gets wet, the fibres swell and prevent water from getting down to you in rain. It is very wind resistant too, and highly...

Hello Bushcrafters, For sale is a Karrimor SF Sabre 45 in excellent condition - I've only used this to carry my camping gear from the car to the camp and as such it has hardly any wear to it at all; I've captured the few superficial marks on it in the below video. Specs here from Uncle Ray's...
