Ok So I stopped reading this thread halfway through when it became an issue of pulling it out and measuring. It's not an issue of standing up for your country... I'm sure GB and the Commonwealth will do fine without us defending it... or the US or Canada for that matter. I want to adress the...

Welcome to the Forum! Hope you can find lots on here to contribute to here, a great bunch of people IMO! TCP

Awesome replies guys, thanks. Yeah, I'm not really scheduling any time for Bushcraft - this is definitely a Tourist trip. Just wondering if there was anything that I HAD to see and needed to try and take some time off from the touristing... Keep up the recommendations of food please...

Mornin! Unfortunately not much to reply.... Bushcrafting is my fav hobby, so if i'm not on shift i'm at home working on gear projects or the like. I do enjoy reading and learnign of all kind... Rennaisance man project here! Cheers,

Hello all, first holiday in the last 5 years!!! The better half and I are taking 2 1/2 weeks, during which we plan to go visit London and Paris (first time in Europe). We're both History buffs so we'll do the whole tourist thing (she really wants to see the Tower, i'm more into the big...

Happy new year... now what kind of people are on here instead of partying?! (i'm at work)

Cheers mate! I am just reading "one man's wilderness" by Sam keith on the journey of Richard Proenneke. the guy did just that... building himself a cabin in Alaska, went on to live 35 years there. Quite the different story than the scottish guy (i forget his name) in Alone in the Wild...

or at least my Girlfriend does. I got a Fallkniven NL4 (soooo beautifull) An Enzo Trapper scandi grind, birch slabs and red liner. in O1 Rm's bushcraft survival and extreme survival DVD's shipped from Woodlore. (can't get them here...) =D thrilled just doesn't cut it?

OK.... So agreed. The point of this thread is gone and the horse has passed away, cause of death was repeated flogging... Australian hardwoods are not harder than UK ones or North American ones. There is a difference in the growth pattern and size of trees, one of the factors creating the...

You don't need to be a bushcrafter to survive an incident in the woods.... You need to be ressourcefull and creative. However being a bushcrafter coupled with a calm mind will get you to survive. The Woodlore IMO is not a "survival" knife. I would definitely want a larger blade for that...

Right.... So.... Anyone want to talk about Woodlores?

It's done... I'm jumping in on this discussion! (after all... this is a Forum - not just a Mick Martyn conversation!) I've numbered the points in Martyn's post in order to make it realy easy to reply: 1 - not difficult to sharpen at all if you have a Diamond Hone. I've just near completed...

Oh come on mick.... Let's all tone down and look start over. Perhaps as you mentionned it is hard to convey by writing the meaning meant by an individual - and we should take posts at a grain of salt. It's a lesson I learned the hard way on the forums. p.s I'm sure that Toddy writing in...

See I like replies like these. I don't think Mick here was trying to ruffle anyone, or asked the question in order to be ruffled himself. The way I interpreted the post itself opened doors for discussion on issues like: - Is there too much significance of Hype in modern bushcraft? Ex: you...

So the funny thing is that I woiuld totally watch a show about people camping in tents and boiling water... it's all about being out there. All in all a very well constructed and well put post. I think you've nailed the issue, and the intention of the dual nature of the show. By the...

I haven't read his books... so I can't judge. you know... I'm a tolerant guy from a tolerant city, and I'm all over acknowledging different cultures and supporting them. I get the whole barefoot thing... i really do. I see every one of his arguments and respect them. But I'm a Paramedic...

Hmmm not to turn this into a "Les stroud vs dual survival" topic... but since the gauntlet has been thrown... I have to stick up for Les. Down to earth, tough, and also *** filming himself*** the times that I've seen him go without an element of survival (shelter, fire etc) it's because he...

Hallo! Excellent work! TBH coming from perhaps a different culture when it comes to blades over here, but I dont think Kydex gives a military look. (the camo in the background especially screams civilian!) The way I see it, when you're getting absolutely douched in water, be it rain sleet...

May I say it is with pleasure that I take the extended appendage and return the proffered greeting! Fab intro, you've found here a community of people that have the ability to read your post with glazed eyes and the fondness of memory and the yearning to be there again. Any chance you...

G'day Mick! I think you've said it right there... When you go out in the brush, you go into areas that are well known to you, (almost 30+ years, is that the same thing as 30 years? You'd think the + and the almost would even out...) and you go in with thourough knowlege of the terrain, routes...
