    Bergans Morgedal Backcountry Anorak

    Hi, I'm considering purchasing the Bergans Morgedal Backcountry Anorak and was wondering if anyone here could provide a little bit of input to help me decide which size I would need. I don't have any experience with the brand and I know that sizing can differ a little between different...

    Question About Karrimor SF Sabre 45

    I was wondering if anyone could offer a little feedback on their experience with the Karrimor SF Sabre 45, which I'm looking at it to serve a specific purpose. I have several Osprey packs, which I really like and don't see anything changing that as my choice for backpacking. But, I'm looking at...

    The British Invasion

    No, not the musical phenomenon in the 60's when the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Animals, etc came to the US. But, my recently acquired handful of British made knives, that seemed to all arrive within a short period of time. I had put in an order for several hook knives and a Woodlander 4" Classic...

    Swedish Barrel Knife

    I recently acquired this knife on ebay, and was wondering if anyone knew much about them. I had never seen or heard of them prior to buying this. It has JOH ENGSTROM ESKILSTUNA SWEDEN stamped on one side and has an arrow with JE 1874 on the other. I'm unsure if that's the date of manufacture or...

    DIY PVC Berry Picker

    I came across this tutorial the other day on how to make a berry picker out of a PVC pipe. Whether it works well or not, I'm not sure, but I think I'll give it a shot this summer. It does look pretty neat on how it operates with the berries falling through the inside of the pipe and collected in...

    Leather Stacked Fire Steel

    I've seen several examples of leather stacked fire steels and knives across the internet that people had made, and had been thinking of trying it out for myself. This was my first experience working with stacked leather, so I wasn't too sure how successful that I would be. There are still a few...

    Bison Bushcraft Snurgle Sac

    I've been working on identifying wild edibles for a little while and have been looking at the Bison Bushcraft Snurgle Sac to use while out foraging. http://www.bisonbushcraft.co.uk/wilderness_kit.htm. It looks pretty interesting and useful, and the price isn't bad; but the shipping cost to the...

    Deer Antler Fire Steels

    I was sitting around last night with a little time on my hands and wanting to do something more productive than watch TV. I had some extra fire steels and several deer antlers, so, I decided to make up a few fire steels using the deer antlers as the handles. Most of them are 5/16" x 3", with...

    Kydex Axe Mask

    A while back I saw a post on another forum from someone that had bought a kydex sheath for their Gransfors Bruks Small Forest Axe. There is something about leather that I really like and prefer, but I also thought that this looked sturdy and reliable. I don't know a thing about kydex, but...

    A Little Leather Work

    I did a little leather work the past week for a few items. I had a few Bark River Knives that I use now and again, but I'm not really a big fan of the sheaths that come with the knife, so I made a few for them that are a little more user friendly. I also made my first axe mask for a Council...

    Weekend in Mammoth Cave National Park.

    I spent the weekend camping in Mammoth Cave National Park with a few friends. I'm not too sure how familiar a lot of you guys may be with Mammoth Cave, but it is the longest known cave in the world. http://www.nps.gov/maca/index.htm. We did a 2 night/3 day trip and had a good time catching up...

    Deval Bushcrafter by Stuart Mitchell

    I received my Deval Bushcrafter last week from Stuart Mitchell, and I have to say that I'm very impressed with the knife, and Stu's craftsmanship. It has carbon fiber scales, a tapered tang, RWL-34 steel, and red liners. I haven't really had much of an opportunity to use it yet, but it has...
