I'm curious, in a general sort of way, about the number of custom knifemakers in the UK? Here in the US, they are pretty common, although it's a bit of a chore to become well known. Kinda like musicians, talent is not enopugh, perhaps, it requires some degree of luck to get a following. In a...

If you had to use one piece of cooking gear for preparing meals, of whatever kind, for just yourself, over a campfire, what sort of pot/pan/groddle or whatever would you choose?

A couple days ago I was watching an episode of Bear Grylls(sp?) where he was out flopping around the Sierra Mountains of California. At the point in the show where he exited a river, and needed to dry himself and his clothing, he started a fire by useing, as he put it by striking a piece of...

I'm surprized that the double bit hand axe, ala Nessmuk style does not enjoy more popularity. Marbles offers one, but I don't believe it's particulary well regarded. Reeves Forge makes a couple versions, but I know little about them beyond that...

I've seen a few references on here about crawfish and how to trap them. Pretty much everything one might need to know about the subject, and then some, can be found here. http://www.terrybullard.com/ Hopefully, some might find the info usefull!

I'm surely not much on "art' per se, but I though folks here might endulge me and allow me to share one of my favorite pictures. Not headed for any museum, I'm sure, but I draws me in and holds my attention trying to notice all the "bits and pieces".

I'm curious as to how capable the alcohol fueled Trangia stoves are. Are they merely good for heating water for tea or coffee, soup perhaps? Or will they actually put out enough heat to cook up some meat or someting similar for one or two people?

When I was a kid growing up in Pennsylvania, the quintessential "smell of autumn" was the leaves being burned in the gutter along the various streets in town. Now where I live, thats not as common a practice. It's been replaced hereabouts by the wonderful pungent scent of "wild onions"...

Hello from central North Carolina! Looking foward to participating in the discussions here, and expect I will find the viewpoints of those "across the pond" intresting and valuable. A bit about me: 55 years old, hunter, fisherman(not particulary good at either!), divorced, love to just spend...
