hello. i'm sort of planning a trip for late summer/autumn. not 100% decided on where, but the UK seems to have interesting locations, and its fast and inexpensive to get there. it will be more of an hiking/exploration expedition, and little to no bushcraft. so this is a list of things i'd like...

i hope there are some airgun hunters here, i have a question about velocity. i'm getting an air rifle, and have narrowed it down to 2. both are .177cal, one does 820fps and the other does 950fps the thing is that the weaker one, is 24% cheaper and 300g lighter(i believe both are about equal as...

i'm looking at maybe going a trip later this year. from looking at the map it looks like the most practical route would be: biella, italy -> zermatt, switzerland -> sion, switzerland -> montreux, switzerland. but if there are established trails that goes through some towns, that would be the...

i'm not looking to buy one right now, just trying to navigate the market. i like the idea of dutch ovens, and i would like to try it out. but they're just to heavy, even a 2l weighs 4kg. its just too much weight to lug around. does lighter dutch ovens, with the same features as the heavy...

i didn't know that! i learned something new today. i was browsing the internet while at work and found an interesting article at nrk.no apparantly they have doing some research on bark harvesting in a area called lønsdalen, 2 hours drive south of me. i tried to translate it in google translate...

good evening all. inspired by the mytimug i saw on alpkit, i wondered if something similar exist. about the same size, 750ml. but in stainless steel and a watertight screw-on lid, so that it can be used as a drinking bottle. thanks.

it says its a fiber bag, whatever that means. and its 200cm long, 80cm zipper and weighs about 4kg i'm thinking of having it at home in case of a wintertime power outage. (i don't have any other means of heating) size and weight is not a concern, but it needs to be warm. if anybody has tried...

where is the nearest jungle when i'm located in Scandinavia? i've always wanted to go on a proper jungle adventure with exotic animals, plants, sounds and rivers with weird fish and so on. problem is, i don't like sitting in a plane very long. so i would like to check out flights to see if it...

how much paracord are you bringing for a multi day wilderness trip. if you have paracord assigned for a specific use, for tent, tarp etc, it doesn't count. i was thinking that 20m should suffice.

i will buy a nice weather weekend pack, on my next salary. but im torn between a bergans sport alpin(40l) and a maxpedition falcon 2(25l). maxpedition: *what appeals to me about this, is the molle attachments. *it would be great to attach my response pak and a hatchet/machete firmly to the...

i like the snugpak response pak, but i think it is on the small side. something like a 50% upscaled snugpak woul be great. does such a thing exist?

please see post #4

finally i got my gränsfors wildlife axe today. and it such a lovely little axe, or hatchet if you will. i'm looking forward to using it. its 35cm long and weighs 655g(without sheath) and its about the same length as a 9" leuku.

so, are there any machete users here? any experiences with them in a western European scenario?
