    For anyone with a TBS Boar and a 3D Printer...

    A chap on Reddit has shared a 3D printing file for an insert for a TBS Boar to keep the blade open while using it. Thought it might be appreciated by some here. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6992263

It was an expedition style trip where we’d be spending two nights at a Sami homestay, four nights out on the trail and then a final...

    Silky Gomboy Sheath

    I picked up some leather at the Wilderness Gathering in the summer, and received a leathercraft toolkit for my bday. I'm heading to Lapland in Feb with Wild Human, so with a bit of downtime between jobs, I thought I'd have a crack at making a sheath for my Silky Gomboy Outback. I watched a...

    Any recommended winter bushcraft courses?

    Hi all, I'm looking for any experience you may have with winter courses, preferably overseas e.g. Canada, Sweden, Finland etc for subarctic bushcraft. I'm hoping to do Wild Human's course in February, but it's dependent on numbers. So just in case it isn't a goer, I wanted to see if there...

    New video from Tom McElroy

    I alway enjoy his videos, they're straight to business, well delivered and genuinely insightful. This time he's in the rainy PNW making a bow drill with natural cordage, making torches out of pine cones and cooking cockles and crabs. It's a nice easy watch

    Frontier Bushcraft Intermediate Wilderness Course

    I'm looking to do some more learning this year, having done the Woodlander with Wild Human (formerly Woodsmoke) last year. Frontier Bushcraft's dates work well for me, so I was just wondering if anyone had any experience of their teaching (or specifically that course), or any recommendations...

    Camping in Scotland in the summer - bad idea?

    I'm desperate to get some camping booked in for the summer time so I know I have something to look forward to. Wild and/or wildish campsites would be the preference. I'd love to explore Scotland; I haven't camped there since doing the West Highland Way with Scouts. But is the midge situation...

    New axe, eye a bit splintered. Problem or no?

    I've just received a Hultafors 006 Trekking axe. (Ordered from Amazon as I had credit there) As you can see, the top of the handle has split somewhat where it's been wedged. This is my first axe, so just wanted a 2nd/3rd/4th opinion on whether this was par for the course or represented a...

    What's making these little holes in the ground?

    Walking in the woods in Wiltshire, lots of these little excavations along the path. We thought maybe squirrels looking for their nuts, but some of them are quite large and have move quite a lot of dirt. Can anyone enlighten me?

    Had a go at adding pouches to the LK35

    Needlecraft isn't really my forte, but I had some time to kill and fancied trying my hand at something new. After dithering about which kind of pouch to add to the LK35, I decided that adding some PALS style webbing might be the most versatile option. I ordered two of these...

    Best side pouch for LK35?

    Hi All. I'd like to fit side pouches to the side of my LK35. Initially, I'd thought to attach zips to the sides of main pack to be able to zip on and off PLCE side pouches. But now that I have the bits and pieces, I'm wondering if PLCE pouches are too wide to fit on the side of the pack? Has...

    Hi folks, happy to be here :)

    Been a lover of the outdoors since I was in cubs, and fascinated by bushcraft and survival since I was given John Wiseman's book when I was 13 (which was a little while ago). Been getting back into (wild) camping over the last couple of years - Dartmoor, Wye Valley, South Wales etc. and I'm...
