Hello the forum, I've been wondering if there are any woods in leicester/shire where one could respectfully practice bushcraft (even if not overnighting etc.) without getting a telling off? I've learned a lot from the forums and would like to practice some of the skills you chaps (and...

My new splitter, a Fiskars x27, arrived today, ready to clear the woodpile ready for the next load of logs!. A couple of things for all you axe wielding types! It's far more blunt than I thought it would be. I know the geometry etc. was supposed to 'blast' the wood apart, but it's not even...

Hello All! The answer is of course I don't 'need' one! BUT, Are they any good? As the man who has everything (ha ha!), I don't really have any wants or must have's for my upcoming birthday, but the Mrs (bless her) still wants to get me something. I currently use a hults agdor (roughly SFA...

Ok, so it's not paracord, it's kevlar cord about the same diameter used by the Missus' old man at work to test mil kit, so once it's been used it gets binned! Middle seems to be a multitude of kevlar strands, very fine like fine hair almost, yellowish in colour. used it to strap some stuff...

Looking at one of these? (although seems alot cheaper buying in bulk!) http://www.ew-trading.com/shop/bushcraft-survival-load-bearing-c-70_78/austrian-mountain-rucksack-p-452 Anyone used one and know how big they are and if they're any good? p.s never used company and not affiliated but...

Received this today from SWMBO for my birthday (thank you dear!). :):):) Any good? (pic heavy!)

Price will be identical (About 50% cheaper than a GB Wildlife) Any preference or are they as good as each other? (are they competitive with GB or a lot rougher?) Hults advantage is I can see it before parting with the cash as I can get one locally. Wetterlings is from a reputable...

One for you axe people. recently when I've been looking around for a new axe all of the axes I see in stores have splintering/splits on the top of the axe where the handle goes up through and is then wedged, just the 5mm or so that sticks out of the eye. The rest of the axe is fine, head...

Can't figure out how to make a poll, so.... if you only had 1 axe (duties small splitting, campcraft, small limbing duties, and maybe carving, unlikely to be carried very long distances, but more likely to be used for a couple of hours at a time), then what would it be out of: (I'll use GB...

Hi all, question for you bushcrafters. If I carry a laplander saw, battoning knife, bucksaw kit and hand hatchet, what will I be missing out on without a 'small forest axe' type tool? I'd rather avoid the expense if a good hatchet will do! Ps looking at a hults bruks rather than a granny B...

Been a bit of a lurker but thought i'd say hello, as there's some really great information and knowledgeable skilled people on here! Convinced me to buy some decent basic kit (mora's and a decent axe!) and learn the skills to use them to make the more complex kit! very interested in a lot...
