I'm looking for an MSR pocket Rocket stove, and before buying one from a shop or postfreeoutddorgear.co.uk:) I thought I'd ask here for any sellers.

After going through several backpacks;) , I have settled on the NI PLCE 35 litre pack, and, although a little heavy, I have found it perfect for my bushcraft and camping needs. I was just wondering how many (if any) other people have this pack, and if so, what do you think of it? Also, what...

Here is a tutorial to make a cheap stove out of an old tin. I find it is suitable for use inside a hexamine stove. Find an old tin that will fit inside a closed hexi stove. I used an old air rifle pellet tin but anything will do. Fill it with sand. When you come to use the stove...

Does anyone know a good UK supplier of corby rivets? I've looked on a couple of sites, attleborough supplies included, but thought it best to ask here as many of you seem to be 'in the know' ;)

In the 'Repeat Performance' article of the Bushcraft mag it states that Lesser Celandine is an edible green. With careful preparation the tubers of this plant can be used as a wild food, and when the leaves are young they are edible, but I had concerns about the ediblity of the rest of the plant...

Whilst reading the review of the crusader mess tin in the Bushcraft mag :D , I read the third paragraph, about the mess tin being more stable than the cup. Anyway, I suddenly thought 'I have that problem' and set about correcting it. I thought it might interest some people here so I have...

I spent the best part of today making a friction folding knife following the tutorial on British blades. I have almost finished it , and I am just waiting for the glue to dry, and then I will sand it down, rivet and polish it, and I will do that tomorrow. I will hopefully be able to post...

I have a beautiful SWC bushcraft knife, which is carbon steel, and I thought about what I use it for. I go on many wild day trips in which knives are used heavily and usually used in very, very wet conditions, often in saltwater environments. Having discovered a slight corroded patch a Frost's...

Where can I hire canoes for a week on Loch Lomond and how much would it be? :)

I sort of kicked off my spring foraging with one of my favourite wild greens found at this time of year... hairy bittercress :D

I have many rucksacks and I need to make room for another one :D , so I am offering three for trade with something interesting. They are not in particularly good condition, and if no offers arise I will probably just give them away. One is an old green square one and is roughly 30lt. One is...

I have a Baikal .177 sidelever multishot spring air rifle, and I was thinking the other day that this would be great if it had more power. The current power is about 5ft/lbs, and I would like to be able to convert it (with a new spring) to 12ft/lbs. Would this be possible and, if so, would it be...

Does anyone have any thoughts on the British army Northern Ireland Issue 30lt PCLE pack? I am thinking of buying one as it looks a darn good size, but its always good to see what everyone else thinks. :)

I am looking for some sinews from a deer for various projects involving fine thread and cordage. Not being a hunter (of deer) I am not really sure of where to get them. Does anyone have any spare that they feel like popping in the post, or swapping for something? :)

I own three airguns, and, while I only hunt with one, I use all of them regularly. It seems likely though, that in the near future, it is possible that they will be contained under tha laws for other firearms. This may or may not be the case, but I would like to find out how much FAC's cost, so...

Myself and a friend are looking to go for a bushcraft holiday in the Scottish highlands. We looked at a couple of places but found them all to be unappealing. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where to go in Scotland (avoiding campsites, and preferably civilisation)., We want to camp wild...

I subscribed as a full member in april, and I've only just found out that subscribers get a free bushcraftuk badge which I didnt get. I'm not really bothered as I only subscribed the support BCUK, but I thought I would say in case it would help future subscribers if there is a problem and it...

I have recently bought an SWC bushcraft knife (beautiful kinfe) but I am terrified of staining or discolouring it. I have been cleaning it mainly with saliva or meths, but is there any way I should be cleaning it? And if so what with?

Picture the scene. A friend an I were having a day out in the local woods and were just tucking in to our freshly brewed tea, when My friend put too much powdered milk (mmm, delicious...) in the tea. A normal occurrence, you might say, but... He spooned it onto a leaf and I threw the leaf on the...
