Did anyone see the latest issue of FHM?! flicking through the pages of the mag and just after some rather saucy pics of Kaley Cuoco from The Big Bang theory, Joe o'leary from wilderness survival skills jumps in front of me, gutting a fish! Not what I was expecting, I have to say but great to see...

After reading the latest Bushcraft and SS mag i fancied having a go at the Mora Knife mod, anyone else had ago? replacing the handle with a custom wooden handle. I was thinking perhaps a mix of hornbeam and hawthorn. my idea was to use the hornbeam as a fake full tang, utilising its pale colour...

Hi all this one is really bothering me, i cannot identify it for the life of me, it looks like one of those plants i should really know but yet i dont, let alone know of any medicinal / edible qualities! i have a feeling that it may be along the mustard family line but with purple flowers!? the...
