Could any of you leather workers please help me out here. I am fascinated by the sheaths, pouches etc. that people make on this site. I found a site I have watched some videos on YT and have decided to take the plunge and try it out. Being a complete beginner means that I am going to have...

Its not pretty, but thats sort of the attraction. Its the first job I have ever done and I have got the taste for it now. I'm already checking out leatherworking to try and figue out how to make a sheath for my frankenknife. It will be coming out in the woods with me soon to help me on my...

WARNING: DO NOT BUY FROM BRONZEMOONOUTDOORS.CO.UK READ THIS THREAD AND THE OTHERS ON THE SUBJECT. So I finally bit the bullet today and bought one :mexwave::mexwave: Condor pack parang. I'll be using it for splitting firewood, and food prep on my next outing to try it out. Does anyone else...

Me, bro in law and the dog went for a hike and camp in the lakes this weekend. We were in Ennerdale and it was truely the best couple of days walking I have ever done. The main focus was a hike up Pillar, no real bushcraft skills used other then a little fire as we needed to clear the mossies...

I went for a lovely walk around some local woods with the family this week. Lovely weather for it, think its just starting to turn now. It will be a memorable walk for me as my young lad is just starting to enjoy the outdoors (especially kicking leaves about). Pics here...

Hi all, as the title says, I need a good warm sleeping bag for some upcoming winter camps I am planning. Until now I have got by with a 3 season vango along with a lot of clothing and an extra blanket. Even with this I still wake up cold. I am leaning towards the army surplus route...

I spent last night camping out in what some would describe as enchanted woods. Judge for yourself, but what I can say is that the forest was large with virtually no paths which made it very easy to get lost. We got there a bit earlier then many of my camps so had a little more time to get...

With the first frost on the way I thought I would make a post on my blog showing how to make sloe gin/vodka. There are no photos at the moment as I am away from home at the moment but I'll put some on this weekend. For anyone thats never made it it is very simple. If you have never made sloe...

I got out a few nights back for a cracking night in the woods. It started off with a long walk in an attempt to tire the dog out, as well as learn a little about the surrounding area. Pics and write up can be seen here. http://thesecretcamper.blogspot.com/2011/08/stealthy-woodland-wild-camp.html

Me and the brother in law went out for a late camp in the woods last night. No real bushcraft skills were used as I just needed to relax after what has been a very busy couple of months. A few ciders and hip flask of rum and that was me out for the night. All in all, a great break away...

I spent this Monday and Tuesday wild camping in the lake district. It was one of the best camps I've ever had. Although the weather was wet as usual there were some good breaks in the cloud for the sun to reveal some beautiful views. All the pics are here...

I went for a wonderful walk with my dog today. The area used to be a gravel pit, but when they were finished it was set aside as a nature reserve. It holds a lot of memories for me as I grew up very close to it. It has really matured over the past few years but there are still small signs of...

This may or may not be the best forum for this, but has anyone got any recomendations for a lightweight titanum pot between 700ml - 1ltr? Specificaly for use when lumping my gear up hills. I'm looking for an all in one use pot mainly for boiling water, boil in the bag meals, and pasta. The...

I went for a walk in the woods with my family today. A lovely country park that I feel priveliged to live so close. I was considering a wild camp there at some point but it is extremely busy so think I'll give it a miss. Still got some great pics though which can be seen here...

I just made myself some bannock in the garden on my civvy trangia. 1 cup flour Half hand full of flaked almonds A bit less then half hand full of dried cranberries Milk (mix until doughnut consistency) Demerera sugar sprinkled on both sides to caramelize. Olive oil in pan...

I went on my first wild camp with my dog last night to see if he was suitable for future excursions to more exiting places. It had the potential to go horribly wrong (picture dog running through established camp fire, knocking over stove and taking out my tarp!). He turned out to be a great...

Hi, I'm not sure if this is classed as advertising so mods feel free to delete it. I have just completed a birch tapping guide with photos on my blog if that interests anyone? I am very new to all this so please feel free to offer constructive critique. http://thesecretcamper.blogspot.com/
