Hi Mike, I do landscape photography semi professionally and I combine wild camping with lugging around 6.5kg of camera gear, so I can understand people who want lighter gear! Personally I would favor a Canon G10/G11 for what you are describing although neither of these do video, which I guess...

Ha yeah, I'll just make sure that we dont head out int he rain so that if it does go wrong, he's not put off :P

Wow, that's a huge help, you guys know your stuff! I've got a lot of ideas here to get a fire started the natural way (minus the firesteel of course) as well as a whole load of ideas for backup plans! This is great, I am sure if I practice a little before hand then it will be sucessful :)...

Ah well if it's THAT cheap then I can get both! I'll have to see how I go and if I really get into the kind of camping where I feel I can use a knife (because out on Dartmoor I will have little use for one) then I can invest in something a bit more substantial :) Thanks a lot, that really helps...

Thanks guys, that's exactly the kind of advice I was after. I'm sure we'll have a great time :)

Okay thanks guys, I guess that's a definitive no for using it for any sort of bushcrafting then. Are there any affordable recommendations for something else? Realistically I can do without a knife at all for what I have planned for the time being (making a fire etc). Thanks very much for your...

Hi Guys, I thought I would pick your brains since I know nothing about fire lighting really and I'm sure there are plenty of you who do! I am planning to take my 14 year old cousin out in a Devon wood to teach him how to light a fire with fire-steel this Christmas. I've taken him camping...

Hi everyone, I was wondering if you could help me choose a knife. I'm currently in the US and whilst out here I thought I would pick up a knife, since they seem a little cheaper than in the UK. I have been short of a knife a few times when camping but managed to get by. Now I'd really like...

So I should introduce myself for my first post! Hello all, nice to meet you. My name is Alex (Nail) and I'm 23 based in Bristol but regularly traveling back to the family home on Dartmoor. From there I do landscape photography, my main hobby and now a business, and through that I have gained...
