Hi, I have been whittling down my gear and have come to another tough decision making point. Which also may mean I get to buy a new peice of kit. Bonus! I like to carry a small blade, a small saw and an awl for trap making and general bush crafty uses around camp. Also I currently have a...

Like many bushcraft kit addicts, I rushed out and purchased a zebra billly beacuse they got a lot of attention because of Mr Mears. But I don't really like it. It's nice and everything, but the whole little plate thing in the lid didn't impress me, the handle doesn't fold flat, the lid...

....Please! To elaborate, I own a couple of the 1 litre Nalgene wide mouth bottles. I use a very lightweight plastic cup at the moment, but was thinking of getting a SS cup which fits onto the bottle to save space. I thought it would be nice to have a metal one so that I have an emergency...

Hi I had a quick search and didn't find a thread regarding this, please point me in the right dfirection if I'm wrong. I wanted to focus on my First aid kit. I have never been really sure what to put in it and whether to have more than one, or keep modifying it depending on my trip etc...

Hi people, Just made this and thought I'd post some pics to show you. It started life as a length of 32mm MuPVC pipe, I bought a coupler and threaded cap and stuck them with solvent weld cement. All regular plumbing store stuff. I cut the scoop out with a hacksaw and filed and sanded it...

Hi. OK bit of a philosophical view on kit here, might get lenghty... I am quickly getting sick of going out in the woods with my Sabre 75 (with side pockets) filled to bursting with "essential" gear. Its awkward, too heavy too bulky, just too much!! If anyone has watched half as many films...

Hi, After being advised that the Outdoors show at B/ham NEC in March isnt really bushcraft oriented, I was wondering if I could pick your collective brains? I am after some kit initially and any knowledge I can gather on my way. These get togethers Bushmoot and wilderness gathering seem to be...

Hi, I'm looking forward to having a browse round the Outdoors show which is on at the NEC in march. I'm hoping there'll be lots of bushcraft stalls there!? Anybody out there know more about this? Am I going to be very disappointed? I have lots of things I'd like to buy but would love to see/try...

Hi I was wondering if anyone else had this issue.. I bought a 12cm billy and it has the small plate thing that sits on top, then the lid sits on top of that. I found it quite heavy and decided i didn't want to carry the plate part, but now the lid rattles and will just fall off. Is this just a...

Hi I am on the look out for an olive green ventile smock, I liked the Bison bushcraft one except I thought that smocks we're an over-the-head-jobby rather than with full front zip? Which means ones less thing to go wrong. So was lookin at the SASS smock, I am aware that this has been talked...

Hi, need a bit of help please. Me and my friend like to practice bushcraft in scary terrain! We are keen rock climbers (no ropes just bouldering and bit of free climbing) and so have found a few places full of forested hill sides with cliffs, caves and rivers etc. This is our playground :) but...
