Last updated at 26.05.2013 Foreword This is a guide compiled by me about Estonia, my home country, from a bushcrafting and camping perspective. I believe it is a perfect place for a bushcraft camping trip because of the wilderness, accessibility and prices. This guide will expand by editing...

Everything now sold, thanks for the attention!

If anyone's bored or can't go out like me (managed to hurt my knee a couple of weeks back and the doctor's appointment is still coming up) then take a peek at birds nests from your own home! They've placed cameras near a variety of species' nests and they're all online for your viewing...

Good evening, Many bivy bag choice topics here and I've read through most of them, but haven't found one which discusses groundsheets exclusively. Having bought a brand new British Army bivy which I received today I have two very simple questions: 1. Do you use a groundsheet with your army...

Hello! I looked through several bivy bag topics here but still have some questions about them. I'm putting together a lighter kit for this year and want a tarp+bivy (In addition to a hammock). However, there are A LOT of mosquitoes here in Estonia. They are mostly active in June and July...

Hi! Bought these trousers about a year ago (13.03.2011) for spring and autumn use. I began powerlifting a month ago and the pants are now too tight to do anything but walk and stand in. I have used the pants maybe about 10 times outside, I take good care of my kit. Pictures are here...

Hello! Just received a Karrimor Sabre 45 with side pockets this morning. I was wondering about the F-Format back system, I found one thread about it on this forum but there wasn't a clear consensus. Who has kept it and who has binned it? I'll try it with weight on the weekend but was...

A friend gave me this today, thought it was relevant. :lmao:

I had an argument with a close relative about the way I was sleeping at home - she thought my bed was probably on some energy channels or aligned improperly and therefore I couldn't sleep. I can sleep and I never said I couldn't but she kept going on and on about how it is scientifically proven...

Hello! There has been a lot of discussion on rucksack size, but people normally post what size they use with a general explanation. My question is very specific: I am planning to buy a summer camping rucksack for 1-3 nights. I guess a size of 45-55 liters would be sufficient, but I really...

Hello there! I live in Estonia. What it basically means is that we have summers of 20-30 degrees celcius and winters with -25. Then there's also the middle bits - spring and autumn. This means that any sensible person needs at least 3 sets of highly specialized clothing: 1. Summer stuff -...

So what does the bushcraft folk think about the future and where the world is going? Are bushcrafters and outdoor enthusiasts better people? Do we have our home planet in high regard? Or do we still have a lot to learn? Will our decendants be able to explore other planets like people explored...

Managed to sell the thing!

So, the temperature has finally dropped a bit today and I decided to celebrate by going for a walk. It was about 27-30C the days before, utterly unbearable to do anything outside since it's so humid. There has recently been some construction work in my village, they fitted some new water...

The smith finally finished my order that I made 3 months ago. I was so excited when he finally delivered it to me today! :D So here it is, my woodlore clone in S30V steel with desert ironwood scales. http://imgur.com/a/E7Wlh#0Q5ot I haven't seen many people experiment with steels on their...

There have recently been threads about your worst buy, your best buy, the value of your kit and so forth. It got me thinking: we've all been taught the rule of threes and what priorities shelter, fire, water and food take. But what part (kit, knowledge or other) of bushcraft do you invest...

First of all I would like to say hello to everyone on BushcraftUK, this is my first thread. I am quite a young fellow and I have only recently discovered the wonders of bushcraft. Someone once said to me: "During your life you should focus on the things that you liked doing as a child, only...
