    Tops Xc EST Alpha

    Hi, just bought this little beast as it caught my eye for a good little heavyweight camping knife. You might know it comes with a survival kit but including a fire steel. However the knife is coated which means you can't use the back of it to strike the steel. I have access to a Dremel and...

    Just had a new sleeping bag delivered - Kifaru Slickbag

    Can't wait to test this bag out! After being cold all the time sleeping out decided to go for this after reading all about Kifaru and reviews on this bag. I have a Big Agnes which has been great but the down gets damp so easily I wanted something that would not get affected by damp or...

    New Axe - Oiling

    Hi, I've just treated myself to a new (first) axe. I have a Wetterlings Small Hunting Axe, it was a good mix of size, reviews and price for me and my requirements. I remember reading somewhere about oiling an axe when you get it. I couldn't find the post again so apologies if this is covered...

    Bushcraft Show or Wilderness Gathering?

    I'm thinking of going to one of these shows but can't decide between the two. Any feedback from you guys if you have been? WG is nearer to me but certainly not a deal breaker.

    First "proper" Knife

    So I have a few knives but felt I wanted a real bushcraft knife. I was thinking ESSE RC4, Fallkniven F1 or thinking maybe I should go with a handmade knife. So I popped off to the Bushcraft store to check some out. Came away with a GM Timberwolf in curly beech. It's awesome! Tried out feather...
