Hello all, I've been having a go at making some leather knife sheaths and a sheath for an Auger set. Below are a few photo's of the finished results, the auger set was inspired by a sheath designed byShep, I've just put my own spin on the idea, and added an extra pocket for the handle. This set...

I've recently completed a day of 4x4 off road training at Whitecliff 4x4 in Coleford, and would like to thoroughly recommend it to anyone, who has recently bought a 4x4. I'm not affiliated to Whitecliff, but found them in a Landrover owners magazine, where I looked for some local sites for...

I've given in and bought myself a Kelly Kettle, a 2.5 pint one from Outdoorcode on Ebay, a bargain too, problem is i've tried it out using some pine off cuts, left over form wood working projects, and the funnel inner is covered in what can only be pine tar. It's all got a bit sticky, and the...

Bought myself a bargain the other day on Ebay, 10M of ripstop nylon for £10 + £2.24 (Odd figure) post and packing. Picked it up with a view to making another hammock along the lines of the Magikelly ones..... First attempt, I soon realised why the Magik hammocks have 2 thin strips on each...

Just a brief note, in Asda today, there's one near where I work at forest farm in Cardiff, they've got an offer on small 2 man tents down to £7. They're not the best in the world, but for £7 they're an excellant backup to a tarp if there's no trees around, and fairly light weight. They'll fit 2...

Hello, my good friend Pete, AKA Ogrithetrog, recently made an Ogripod, along the lines of a peapod style outer shell for you, your hammock and your sleeping bag. After my last winter Bushmoot, back in December, where I managed to freeze during the night, I thought, I'm going to need another...

Can anyone please help with identifying this fungi, it's growing in a big damp patch in the corner of the office I work in. It's in an old portacabin type building, which is leaking in various places! The Fungi is about 40mm across and very slippery, there have been one or two in the last...

Hello, after seeing several examples of really good quality knives at the Bushmoot, this year, I thought I'd finish my first knife. The blade was made for me, by my good friend Ogri The Trog, who started with an old metal file, ground it down and shaped it, then heat treated it in his kitchen...

I've just been out for a lunchtime break from work, and took a short walk along the Taff trail, a loop of about 1 mile from the office. I came across a nice collection of Jews ears growing on an elder branch, and collected a handful. I've read that the best way to use them is to dry them and...

This question has probably been asked a million times before on BCUK, but I'm looking for a reasonably priced camoflage jacket for general use, I've looked on loads of army surplus sites, but am starting to go a bit snowblind on all the options. Can anyone recommend any good sites or places to...

Hello everyone, I'd like to introduce myself, I'm originally from Newport, but now living in Caldicot. I fish, shoot now and again, collect edible fungi when I can, and I've successfully made fire using some of the methods discussed on your site. I'm looking forward to learning some new skills...
