Hello folks, just thought i'd give a quick heads up about whats being talked about on newsnight right now on BBC2. They're talking about leaving parts of the countryside to become wild again and reintroducing species. Just wondering what peoples thoughts on this would be, personally as a first...

Hi Guys, On saturday i returned home from my second bushcraft course at woodlore, this time it was camp craft. The course focuses on the correct and safe use of the axe and its capabilities, giving us the opportunity to work with wood on a larger and more efficient scale. Compared to the...

Hi there! As the title suggests I am doing another woodlore course, after doing the fundamental last year I was left longing for another one. So, I was wondering if anybody could give me any tips on things to bring or prepare for that aren't mentioned on the kit list or website, with woodlore...

Ahoy Bushcrafters! I am currently carving my second kuksa and just like the last one, it has split. I store it in a half open plastic bag in the garage where it seems to be fine at the start of carving, but once you get most of the bowl carved out it always seems to split. I have heard of...

Ahoy fellow bushcrafters! Woodlore have introduced three new courses to their ever so extensive repertoire. 'Fire lighting techniques', 'Rekindling the Fundamentals' and 'walk in the woods with Ray Mears'. I have completed the Fundamental Bushcraft course with woodlore and I absolutely...

WARNING! THIS MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS OF THE FUNDAMENTAL BUSHCRAFT COURSE Hi guys, great to be back on the forum again, feels like it's been far more than 6 days! The woodlore fundamental bushcraft course: well, where do I start. I feel like it has been one of the most difficult...

Hi there, Probably asked before but ah well, just wondering if there was any airsofting bushcrafters around (we are a rare breed) What's your loadout?, whats in the armoury?, where you skirmish etc. Cheers guys, outdoorpaddy

Hi there, I'm going on the woodlore fundamental course from the 3rd July to the 9th, just wondering if anybody on the forum is going to be there as well, would be nice to make acquaintance, beforehand. Also, I'll be getting there via plane and train, just wondering if anyone has done the...

Hi there, I'm sure this thread has come up a thousand times before, but here we go again. I have made the decision to try and handle a knife. I was considering the Mora Scandvik 12c27 blank, its cheap and of decent quality. Is there any other relatively cheap blade blanks around...

Hi there, I have a Gransfors Bruks Kubben hatchet which I love to bits and have had for about 5 months. But i cant for the life of me get it sharp enough! My sharpening kit consists of; lansky puck sharpening stone, a fallkniven DC4 (works great on the mora) and 400 and 600 grit...

I thought it might be an idea for a thread on old/broken/found kit that you may or may not have restored and use today. (probably done before but ah well) Theres a bit of scavenger in all of us that loves to find 'stuff' and put it to use, so lets see your recycled kit!

Hallo hallo, I'm booked in for the fundamental Bushcraft course at woodlore in early july and i am very, very excited, to say the least, in spite of the fact that my AS level exams stand in the way, the course starts only 6 days after my last exam, but really really lookin...

Hi there!, My first post on the forum, and looking forward to some words of wisdom. Today i managed to fashion an axe handle from half a pine log, using my GB kubben and the trusty mora. And i have to say i am quite chuffed with myself, even though it does resemble a dog's hind...
