I learned to sharpen freehand :D Of course I've always been able to sharpen a scandi, nothing to it. But I think fear of ruining my knives and laziness induced by the Spyderco Sharpmaker always stopped me with full flat grinds/sabres. All it took was a SAK, a Spyderco Double Stuff, good...

Fallout is great :) Welcome to the forum.

Good to hear. I'm gonna get a solo tarp from them, I reckon :)

Completely agree with njc here. I'm the same. Kit-wise too.

I agree with these two, though I never went through a stage of using multi-purpose stuff. One tool for one job. Keep it simple, stupid. Anyone remember that rule? :P

Bare in mind that all the praise you'll read about the DC4 on here and elsewhere will be before they changed the manufacturer. They aren't as good now. For the money they're OK I guess. They give a working edge, but not the fine razor sharp edge that the brown ceramic gave. For touch ups in...

I can't see why just the stove and no fuel in the hold of the plane would be a problem :)

I have Minecraft, it's very good. For those that don't know; it's a sandbox survival game. You're plonked into randomly generated landscapes completely made out of blocks including forests, deserts, taiga, jungle etc and can build anything you like, though you need to acquire the resources by...

Correct me if I'm wrong, as I'm just repeating something I've read online ages ago, but supposedly the difference between cheapo pills and particular brands is down to the binding agent they use. That is, how well it dissolves. Some pills apparently don't completely dissolve as quick, or at all...

Haha, I've never used a fire piston before but I know exactly how you feel being so ecstatic about learning a new skill. You made me grin too. Congrats.

Great thread again, British Red. Thanks. I haven't had to sharpen my small forest axe yet as it's quite new, but when I do I plan to go the Gränsfors puck route. It seems the original natural sandstone one was quarried in Gotland, Sweden, but I've read that this stone is running out and they've...

Fantastic post, thanks for all that info. I'm something of an axe fiend. Absolutely love 'em. More than knives even. My small forest axe is by far my favorite bit of kit. Though collections are usually not my thing, I do plan to start an axe collection soon. Need different sizes for...

Hey everyone. My name's Nathan, I'm 24 and I'm from Cornwall. I've been into Bushcraft since 2008, when I took my first Bushcraft course in Devon, though I've been out of action for a couple of years. I have a minimalist preference to most things in life, and Bushcraft's no different. I like to...
