Okay, so I’ve been using a couple of the bushlite lanterns for a while and haven’t found decent candles for them yet. They are supposed to use ‘standard’ emergency candles, I find these a big of a pain due to trimming down to fit etc etc...also the burn time on these isn’t great...probably 1-1...

Evening all. I've finally got a bit of time to engage in a bit of experimentation! I really would like to have a go at making a blade using primitive techniques. Could any of you point me towards any useful books, blogs or YouTube videos which might cover things like making a home forge...

Over the last few years I've had all sorts of knifes, some expensive, some not so...in truth most of them have ended tucked up in a drawer somewhere. Somehow this little knife always finds its way to the workbench where I need it, or is to hand where it should be. It's not pretty, it's not...
