Relative to him, yes. Photo of mine from my phone, looking out over the garden before dawn.

Me having a swim. Also, Wayland, your photos are incredible!

Bushcraft is his best series IMO. Aboriginal Britain and Birchbark Canoe are personal favourites of mine. If you'd added Northern Wilderness to that list it would've been my exact choice too.

Nice smooth lines on the top spoon, and the wood's a very pleasant colour.

Fantastic work! A study panelled in oak is going to cost a lot to finish, but I'm sure it'll be worth it. Thanks for sharing.

Piles Copse, near Harford. Lovely place.

Close! Dartmoor. ;)

Lovely photos guys. This one is from an oak wood that I camped in a few days ago, whilst on firewood duty.

That kind of ambiguity with the flowery statements can of course be a bad thing, but I would also argue that simply having that space to define it as you please, gives the freedom to make this "bushcraft" thing very individual - which again may or may not be a good thing depending on your views...

Thank you! Next month it seems I'll be getting a new knife then! Birch and antler handle, scandi grind.

Interesting thoughts. What about people that undeniably are masters of bushcraft? Like the Hadza for example, to say they don't have a kinship with their surroundings is perplexing to me. Of course it's hard work, but knowledge is certainly not the same as wisdom. I know what you're saying...

There's nothing like a quick dip and wash in a cold river in the morning to wake you up and start the day well. I don't know what it is - possibly just psychological - but I feel a lot more energetic after a cold wash than no wash at all.

Absolutely stunning view from your cabin! Envious doesn't even come close. And reindeer wandering that close too! Tasty...

Thanks for the review, very interesting. I've been after an EDC with a nice wooden handle for a while. Just a quick question: is everything stainless (blade included)?

I haven't used this one in particular, but going on previous experiences with Gelert tents I'd stay clear. I know that's a dodgy way to think about new gear but they've put me off over the years.

That is a handsome rucksack indeed. Love the colouring of it.

It sounds nice, but that's not the reason for it being true. It could have been said in an ugly way and still be true. I fail to see how bushcraft is neither a "treasure trove of wisdom" nor a kinship with the wilderness. Of course there are finer details in that, but as a broad generalisation...

Great pictures! The full camp looks like a very comfy open place. I've never seen a hornet in the wild but have always wanted to.

Sorry to resurrect the old thread guys, I've been looking for toothpaste info. Do you use the ash from the fire as well as the broken up charcoal?

Ray Mears nails it at the start of his Bushcraft series. "It's about much more than just survival: bushcraft is a treasure trove of wisdom, that enables us to feel a real kinship with the landscape." http://youtu.be/fSvs8-ke8yY
