Not exactly bushcraft but see what you think. Two wolves. One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said: “My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envious, jealous, sorrowful, regretful...

For those of you who are fans, Mr Mears was on Eamonn Holmes show this morning - only caught a snippet but you can listen to it again when they get round to putting it on the website. http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/programmes/eamonn_holmes.shtml

The button on my Gransfors sheath had fallen off and I was wondering if you can get replacement buttons or replacement sheaths. :dunno:

Hi all, I'm going to sell my new Duluth Lumberjack pack on ebay sometime over the next fortnight but before I do I thought I'd flag it up here first. I'm only flogging it to raise cash for a new canoe and something has to give. The one I have is without the side pockets and I have used it...

I have always camped under canvas such as a tent or a hammock but have decided to go for the bivy approach. I have been geared up to do this but my wife has put a nagging doubt in my head about creepy crawlies climbing into my ear hole. Is this a rational fear or am I worried about nothing? I...

Got the catalogue from Northern Tools the other day and noticed they have new, and pretty cheap, camo tarps for sale. http://www.northerntooluk.com/products.asp?partno=118530E Be warned though, their P&P can be a bit steep. Phone and as for a quote before buying.

This is the latest discovery in the long-running Oetzi postmortem examination. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/6727665.stm

Most of the people on this site are more concerned about gear and equipment rather than actually learning about plants, skills and techniques. Discuss.

I am thinking about ordering a pack from one or the other and was wondering can anyone tell me what the shipping charge is from the US to the UK and if there are any other nasty hidden charges? I know Bision does packs but not the one I have my eye on. Thanks guys.

For those of us who like natural fibres can I point you in the direction of Chocolate Fish. I have bought other gear including Swannie kit and this stuff is every bit as good. The lady who runs the firm, Amanda, is incredibly helpful and friendly. I couldn't recommend the firm highly enough...

Check out the Independent today, there's a nice feature in the Extra section about British woodland. :)

There's a fantastic series on mummies this week on UKTV history. It's being played every day at 9pm. Lots of ancient bushcraft. :)

Does anyone have any ideas on how to seperate willow bark from the trunk at this time of year? I have tried using a flat stick to ease the bark off but it's as if it is glued on. Help, please.

Can anyone swap me some amadou for some, er, amadou. I have some amadou I made from Ganoderma Adspersum and I would like to compare it to Fomes Fomentarius. Just a few inches if anyone has some to spare. In exchange I can swap you the amadou as listed above or some cramp ball, birch bar, cedar...

Does anyone know what stones were traditionally used as sharpening stones? I saw a local use a sharpening stone in Thailand and asked him what type of stone it was – unfortunately he didn't understand a word I was saying. More recently, I saw viking sharpening stones in a museum display and they...

Has anyone seen or heard of a tracker bag?

Got the new BCUK magazine today and it looks fantastic. :headbang: And it's even thicker Articles include how to make a arrow head from slate, interview with Alan Wood and more on wilderness food and eating. Can't wait to read it all. :Wow:

I was walking in the woods today and saw a small pile of leaves from a conker tree that appeared to have been nibbled at the end of the stalk. I know there are grey squirrels in the area and I'm just wondering are they responsible for this and why do they do it? :confused:
