    What are your favourite pocket knives?

    Thank you, nearly tempted! but I think I will just change my huntsman scales to hopefully smarten it up. It is nice though.

    What are your favourite pocket knives?

    Just to help me what do you find the difference with these two and which one do you use the most. Just asking because I see a lot of us choose to have either one or both. I bought the huntsman before knowing about the farmer X. Should I be tempted ?

    For Sale KHHI SiruPate 10" Khukri

    I know your selling and you’ve said not for me. A Khukri is worth keeping, just needs a lot of practice like any good knife, this more so and it’s worth it. Many members will say the same.

    2024 Bushcraft Goals

    I like that idea an account from selling kit to use to buy. I have been trying to not buy anything but did fall and bought a grayl. I am hoping to get fitter and do more hillwalks and bivi camps instead on woodland walks.

    water filter recommendation

    Very true but will ruin a great holiday. Prevention is better than cure.

    Mice in Van (again)

    Try aluminium mesh from hardware stores, thin enough to be cut with normal scissors. Very thin and light, I use it on the air bricks to stop them coming through. A good glue will suffice.

    water filter recommendation

    After all this don’t forget to buy her or recommend plenty of diarrhoea tablets as well. Not trying to be funny but it’s worth the carry not to ruin any trip.

    water filter recommendation

    I’ve always used puritab and millbank bag and still do on occasions. Couple of years ago bought a sawyer and probably your better option. Bought a Grayl with Pathfinder cup to try last month and so far it’s so simple to use.

    The time has come the Bushcrafter said.. Light weight rucksacks. Most of my kit is old and ex-military at the age of 70

    The same got lighter kit just can’t find a comfortable rucksack find the modern rucksacks too narrow. Hence buying a mk1 crusader. Can’t say why just doesn’t feel the same. Guess it’s what you like, prefer or are used too.

    Identifying Smocks

    Remember the first 94 ptn ones were an orange looking dpm then they changed to the above definitely good jackets both of them. I preferred without a hood.

    The time has come the Bushcrafter said.. Light weight rucksacks. Most of my kit is old and ex-military at the age of 70

    True but since I don’t carry about 8 cans and sometimes a bottle or drink like I did I feel better. Always carried minimal kit, with the exception of three old favourites.
