Good Morning all, not been on here for some time. I need some advice. I've very much fallen in love with tarp camping. I do a lot of long distance hikes and the tent slows me down. I suppose a DD Tarp is the way to go, but how durable and tolerant of abuse are they? I like the idea of a...

Hello all! Does anyone have recent contact details for the Grith Pioneers at Shining Cliff? Once upon a time I believe you could rent their fireplaces in the woods for overnight stays. Does that still hold true?

I am looking for a cheap, lightweight and no mess solution to take along on day hikes that would allow me to brew up several cups of tea for two people. Hexi stoves and maths burners both seem to fit the bill. What does the hive mind recommend?

This isn't technically a bushcraft item but some folks on here might like it anyhow. Me and a friend made a couple of lanterns out of old jam jars by whittling down scraps of pine with our knives. They work well enough for our tents. :) Give off quite a decent amount of light and are very...

Winter is coming, with cold rain and freezing mud. Normally I wear cheap running shoes wherever I go as jogging is my preferred mode of travel. =D But now I want something warmer, and more weatherproof. The trouble is that my wonky feet wear out boots in a hurry, especially on the inside of...

Hi folks! New guy here, first post and a question straight away: I'm intending to make myself a poncho for cold and wet weather activities. That crisp autumn smell is in the air and I thought it'd be nice to have something poncho-like that packs down small, gives some protection AND feels...

Greetings, everyone! I just meant to make a quick introduction. :D I originally come from a re-enacting background (my actual day-to-day job being gardening retail) but bushcraft and the making of interesting outdoorsy gear is what brought me into the historical dress-up society in the...
