    A little forge

    A productive weekend spent putting this little forge together using a design from the Essential Craftsman on Youtube. Still a top plate to drill and put on, angle iron cut ends to tidy up and the burner to fit once it arrives from ebay but a very handy design. That soft firebrick at the front...

    What about Billhooks ?

    Me as well! A Kukri may be the perfect tool in the environment it was designed for but the bill hook as evolved over hundreds of years to do just the sort of things bushcrafters get up to in British woodlands. My Morris Staffordshire billhook is easily the cutting tool I use most.

    How many people hold a CRB?

    Have I missed somthing or isn't it irrelevant if we all have assorted CRB checks? If I need a different one for each school I work with surely I'd need a different one to use a site for anything other than activities with one of the schools?

But I voted...

    Do you carry a folder for Bushcraft?

    There is always a folder or two in my pockets and they'd still be there and still be used if I was out in the woods. Ogri, no need to even buy the best you can afford, a sub £10 Opinel will serve perfectly well!

    Should a log splitter be as sharp as an axe?

    Yep, I use a 6lb maul for splitting the logs to feed to Rayburn and don't worry at all about how shap it is, as British red says the trick is to let the weight of the maul do all the work.
