This has come up before, how would you manage in a strange town/city with no cash, friends or contacts? This is the no friends, no money, no hope scenario. Just your wits, good looks to rely upon...

I'm on the lookout for as many apples as I can lay my hands on. Any type will do and the condition doesn't have to be perfect either as they are going to be getting crushed/blitzed into juice hopefully to make cider. If my efforts are successful I'm sure you will be rewarded for your...

I paid a visit to the new Clas Ohlson in Leeds to pick up a couple of Mora's only to find they are totally sold out:( When I enquired the staff said they had been snapped up as soon as they opened by just a few people who were 'bulk buying'. Give the rest of us a chance!!! I've ordered...

I'm going to be be picking up my blades at the weekend ready to make my first knives. My question is - What is the best way to protect the blade while the knife is being constructed? The last thing I want is a scratched up blade. So how do you do it???

My local store has started stocking a range of camping gear. There's a good selection of stuff. It's all cheap and usable and would be ideal for someone who is just getting started with bushcrafty stuff. I picked up a Guyot style bottle for just £3 - it has pebbles on it (not for long!!!)...

Has anyone tried using carbon fibre as a material for a knife handle? I have a sheet of it and I am considering using it for a first homemade knife handle (using a Mora clipper blade). I would be using 9 layers - it is 2mm thick sheet. 18mm thick sounds about right. Your opinions are...

I was sorting through some of my stuff and for reasons not even known to myself I opened up my tarp. I checked over it to make sure all was well and then came the time to pack it up. As I was on my own it was a bit of a struggle - I'm glad I was indoors and not out in the wind. What do...

Does anyone here use/wear a Utag while they are out and about doing 'whatever'? http://www.utagice.com/ As a biker I wear one incase I have an off and can't speak for myself. They are a good idea and could save your life maybe? If you have any allergies, conditions or underlying...

Where would you recommend buying these? I've seen some reviews on youtube and have to have one.

We've all been there.... You have your fire steel (or whatever), it's damp, it's cold, it's windy, etc.... It just won't light - so what do you do??? It would be easy to grab your lighter/fuel, etc. but that would be cheating. What's your 'fail safe'????

Thought you might be interested to know that following the UK Government's freedom of information act you can now get access to ALL speed camera offences registered in the last 12 months. Did you know that every time your car goes past a speed camera, even 1mph over the set limit, it is...

I have posted this question on the 'Trueways' forum with some good results. Now it's your turn. Here's the challenge... How would you manage or more to the point sustain yourself in the big bad city using only survival skills??? No money, no fixed abode, no phone (tough one), no...

Unless it has totally passed you by the Ikea 'Drainer' stove is the best bit of DIY bush craft kit to come out of Sweden. What kit do you fit inside yours? I'm asking as I'm looking build up a kit and I want to get the most out of my set up. We are all familiar with 'Russian Dolls' set up...

Are there any bikers (motorbikers) here? I haven't had much chance to get out on mine in recent days - due to the snow and ice. I'm wanting to do a bit of semi wild camping on mine in the new year when the weather starts to get better. I am after some hints and tips for travelling on the...

What is the deal with the forum posts going in reverse order? This is the first forum I have come across that is like this - and I'm a member of a few. Tom:confused:

Hi everyone - GREAT SITE!!! (but it's backwards:confused:) Quick intro - I'm Tom, 38yo sparky living in Leeds with my missus and 16yo son. I've always loved camping but never really took it to the next step - Rough/wild camping. I'm keen to learn new techniques and get back to basics...
