I'm looking to get a backpack for overnight trips, one night normally I'd imagine, maybe two nights occasionally. Would this pack be a good choice do you think? I've never actually done an overnight camping trip without having a car handy to carry all of my gear (sad isn't it) so I've never had...

Ok so I've been trying to sharpen my mora 510 today and yesterday, got it shaving sharp yesterday but wanted to see if I could polish the bevel a bit today, as it was looking very scratched. I ended up dulling it a bit because I still suck at sharpening but that's not really what this thread is...

So I just had my birthday on the 23rd and lucky me, I got a DD tarp(as well as a bunch of other bushcrafty gear). Now I've put up a tarp(cheap plastic one) a couple times over a tent but that was done pretty poorly and with the rope we had just laying around which was kinda thick to be carrying...

Ok I'm not sure if this is the right section for this but it seemed like the proper place. I'm planning to get a few knives from them so I was wondering if anyone had ordered from them before and if so, would you recommend them? Here's the link: Smoky Mountain Knife works I'm not a...

Ok well I've never been wild camping before and the only camping I've done has been in a tent but I've been thinking about switching things up on my next (or maybe the one after that, or maybe not for quite a while) camping trip and doing things a little less... Well, normal, as in not what the...

Has anyone seen the new axe from Gransfors on the woodlore website? Here it is: http://www.raymears.com/Bushcraft_Product/689-Gransfors-Outdoor-Axe/ It kind of looks like a combination of a splitting axe and a regular one, though more like a splitting one to me. What do you folks think of it?

Ok I know I pretty much asked this before but there are a few things I just thought of that I'm a little concerned about. I bought some walnut oil and I plan to do the soaking method but I'm a little worried about leaving a container of oil sitting around. I didn't think about that until I...

Ok so I've only done a couple carving type things but I figured I'd post pictures of them because I've finally figured out how to! My first carving, I just used a swiss army knife and carved it while camping and then ruined it IMO by trying to do some woodburning on it. It's a wood spirit I...

Ok so I have finally carved a spoon... Ok it's just a stick shaped like a spoon for now but that's where you folks come in. First of all, when should I carve the bowl? Should I wait till it's dry first or just go for it right away? Any tips on carving the bowl would also be helpful. Second, what...

Ok I'd imagine some of you have seen these videos on youtube but for those who haven't, watch them! They're hilarious although they're not meant to be. Might be slightly dangerous too... water balloon for fire and water balloon fire You need to have a tap to fill it and the fire can melt it...

Today I was bored and then I said to myself, wait a second... What am I doing sitting around being bored? It's a beautiful day and I just got a bunch of bushcraft related stuff in the mail, I might as well do something bushcrafty. First I got out my old swiss army knife and my new mora...

Ok so I've been reading about sharpening knives for a long time and well... I'm confused! I have a Victorinox farmer, a Kellam wolverine and I've ordered a Mora clipper I guess as a practise knife before I ruin my more expensive Kellam knife. I have never sharpened a knife in my life because...

Ok so I'll probably be ordering my first decent quality axe (or hatchet I guess) this friday and I've never sharpened an axe before. It will be a gransfors wildlife hatchet if that matters to anyone. I've read this article on how to sharpen an axe but I'm slightly confused by a couple things...

Ok so this has probably been asked about a million and a half times before but this time it's slightly different I guess. So, I'm wanting to buy myself an axe. I'll be using it for some carving and splitting. I don't think I'll be chopping any trees down but I'll be splitting firewood. I got...

Ok so my swiss army knife is getting a little sticky at the joints and I've never oiled it or whatever your supposed to do with folding knives. So what would be a good oil to use for lubrication on a swiss army knife, if that's actually what your supposed to use at all. Also, how do you apply...

Ok so I'm looking into getting a new swiss army knife, Victorinox swiss army knife that is. I've narrowed the choices down to two, a camper or a farmer. I have a spartan already but I'm looking for something that may have some more woodsy uses such as a saw but I'm wondering, is the farmer worth...

Hello, I've been lookin through these forums for a while and decided I might as well join up. Even though I'm not in the UK, I hear some other folks are from Canada as well and so I figured it would be fine. I've been interested in bushcraft for a while although I'm fairly new to actually doing...
