Yep they're edible - we buy them in packs from the supermarket. They're a really nice addition to salads, and could probably fit in with most things :)

Canned bacon? =D

Lol! Talking about Mora (blessed be it's name) I just got mine in today! Very sharp...I'll have to take care with it :) I like the feel it - it's nicely balanced and looks alright.

I think you failed maddave ^^ its gherkin.

Thank you nigel - that cleared things up greatly for me :)

More versatility perhaps? not quite sure but I could imagine it being good for many functions including coppicing and splitting logs.

Ah right - that makes it rather difficult as that's how I'm traveling and can't drive yet :(

Hah or a kukri or a machete or a...god knows too much to choose from! I also don't know the legality on large blades making it even more complicated :(

I can't quite find anything on large blades in Scotland...can anyone here with knowledge about this explain it to me?

Thanks guys, I'll most likely buy a mora blade - it's a wallet friendly price :D I'm not sure what to get in place of a hatchet...I prefer a larger blade. Any recommendations?

Hey, I'm new to bushcraft and would like some blade advice. I quite like the look of the billhook to (in a way) replace an axe (there's one of amazon with a flat blade and curved blade). What knife would be best to buy? I don't want to spent a great deal but I'd like a knife that's good...

ooo that sounds lovely - in a stew? Also guys what other herbs could I use to stuff / flavour rabbit that can be found in Scotland?

First post here so hello - from Scotland myself :) Never been out camping or using bushcraft skills but I avidly watch ray mears and love the skills he uses. I was reading a thread about burdock leaves to wrap meat. Some people said it contained poisonous oxalic acid and shouldn't be used...
