Evening All, Just came across this Ted Talk which may interest some here. It's a tale from a young Korean lad of 15, who found himself making bows from a deep primal urge that he felt within. In a humorous and quirky talk, the youngster takes the audience through his trials and tribulations...

Seems the Japanese have cottoned on to something most on here could have told them for free. They call it shinrin-yoku or forest bathing. Seemingly, being in the woods makes you feel better! Whoda thought, eh? http://www.theherald.com.au/story/1788684/less-is-more-tonic-in-a-forest/?cs=303

Hi All, Just came across this little guy being advertised on TechCrunch. A flame powered phone charger, perfect for camping etc. when the phone dies. They're crowdfunding at the moment, so you could even get in on the action from the get-go...

Came across this article earlier and thought some on here might be interested. I won't feel like such a fraud now when I slip the chorizo or Tabasco sauce into the pack on the next camping trip. http://www.irishtimes.com/news/science/study-reveals-stone-age-gourmets-favoured-spicy-food-1.1503508

Not sure if anyone's posted this here already but came across it on the Independent. Sad story in many ways, but incredible feat of endurance...

Hi guys, Haven't been around for a while due to college commitments. As part of those academic endeavours, I'm just wondering if any of you guys have ever tried Rustlers burgers? It's just a bit of "field" research for a uni project. No connection to Rustlers etc, just wondering what types...

Morning All, I recently purchased an EKA folder with a lovely Masur birch handle which I intended to use as a bushcraft folder. It's a great knife in most respects and has a scandi grind which I like. However, the blade is stainless and I'm wondering if anyone here knows someone who might...

Hi All, This is my second attempt at posting a pic of my first sheath, last one ended up in the "How Do I" section- don't ask. Anyway, this is the new house for my Svord Peasant and started life as a lady's handbag. My lady-friend did most of the sewing until I get proficient. It was an...

I'm not sure if anything has been posted on this story already, but I came across it in today's Times. The price of "progress". http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article7015540.ece

Hey y'all, Went to see the new Avatar movie in 3D. It's an amazing movie and the 3D adds to it. Great story, great special effects etc but also, unlike many blockbusters, a great message too. It makes its point very clearly about the industrial-military complex, globalization, and the...

Hi All, I'm looking to know if anyone knows where I might buy/find a scandi folder with a carbon blade? I'm thinking something like an EKA Swede 88 or the like but with a carbon blade. In terms of price, the cheaper the better (of course!), but I'm relatively flexible. Any suggestions...

Check out Eden all day today, it's a Ray Mears-fest. That's my day sorted.
