    Mora Garberg on Amazon £66

    I've just bought a mora garberg (multimount) on amazon for £66. This is by far the cheapest i've seen it anywhere. It's advertised as a 'mora outdoor knife' alongside another entry for a garberg which is £91, so i suspect there may be a mistake somewhere but as long as it's in my favour! No...

    Self heating drinks

    Hi folks, Does anyone have an idea where I can source any self heating drinks like coffee, hot chocolate etc? I've tried all the usual places but can't find a suppllier anywhere. I could get them off amazon a couple of years back but they seem to have gone out of production completely.

    Hi all (again)

    Hi folks, I've been a member for a number of years but I have not been active for about a year or so due to family and work stuff (life getting in the way of all the fun!), so I thought it best to reintroduce myself as there seems to be a whole new bunch of members since I was on last. I'm...

    Edam is made backwards

    Whilst eating a spot of lunch yesterday it suddenly occurred to me that I could utilise the wax left over from a mini baby bel. Five minutes later with some tin foil from my butties and a small length of cotton string I had a passable candle. I reckon about an hour's burn time from the amount...

    Interesting air bed concept.

    I saw this product on FaceBook which is an interesting take on an air bed. Whilst not particularly bushy I'm sure the design could be adapted and translated to camping. My only concern would be length of time that the bed would stay inflated for. It's basically a large dry bag. There's an...

    Young cramp ball?

    Hello good folk of BCUK. I came back from a week away on business today and the below was on my woodpile. Forgive my ignorance but my first thought was it must be a young cramp ball, but I've never seen a early example. Can anybody put me right on this?

    First off, this isn't meant to be a 'Bear bashing' thread, but how much for a four day course at his school?! http://beargryllssurvivalacademy.com/

    Carving question

    I've just bought myself a copy of 'the little book of whittling' by Chris Lubkemann. I've also purchased a victorinox farmer along with it. In Chris's book however, he advises that 90% of all his carving is done with the small 1.5" blade on his SAK. The farmer does not have a small blade. Will I...

    Mini container. 10 min project.

    I first saw this on Grant Thompson's channel on you tube (the king of random) and thought it was a great idea to upcycle some plastic bottle tops that would other wise be discarded. Basically it's two bottle tops cut down and epoxied together to make a small water tight container for...

    Simple Pacer

    Just a quick pacer I knocked up. I thought it might be interesting for those that haven't used one. I used to use these a lot, then they were forgotten about in favour of GPS. They're handy tools to have around though. This one's been designed to be worn round the neck or hung from the...
