Not sure I'm in the right slot here, so apologies anyway. Been looking at how to get high quality images of nature on a budget. My budget was up to 100 pounds. Been trying various pieces of equipment over the years either cheapo bins or monoculars. I say cheap but the last 50mm monocular...

Hi Just a few thoughts on a cheap throwaway emergency tarp. Got some 2m by 3m polythene and wondered how it would stack up as a quickie tarp for just a few quid. At the apex half way along the 3m length I stuck a run of duct tape full width for reinforcement. Fixed light woven nylon guy...

Hi Check this out if you haven't already found it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rAZjbgxnH0 One of the most beautiful survival movies showing in the raw some of the skills/qualities humans need to know to harness the full potential of their environment and stay alive. Selflessness is...

Hi guys Just a quickie 1 hour DIY project. My Son wanted to practice target shooting with a bow and arrow. He was interested and had grown enough to handle a sizeable bow. I was also still curious about the potential of bamboo, after having a bamboo bow as a kid. So at a garden centre...

Hi guys Just thought I'd give you two great deadfalls to compare. The first is illustrated by the great late Ron Hood and I've yet to find a better tutorial on the fig 4 - mainly because of his tweaks which make it far more sensitive than it otherwise would be. Fig 4 Deadfall Part 1...

I'm toying with the idea of a basic EDC survival kit covering urban+out and about. I feel strongly that I should at least have more than a knife on me. Other stuff might include a small med kit/flashlight/cash CC/cordage for instance, just to name some. Would be interested in your ideas about...

Some surprises in store on receiving my Mora Carbon steel heavy duty knife. 1. It did not arrive as sharp as I'd been led to believe regarding Mora knives. 2. Spine is heavily polished so no good for fire lighting. 3. The grind is not a pure scandi - presumably to ramp up edge retention as...

Just a trick I found the other day. If you're working in man made materials this won't concern you. But if you collect some knife handle materials from the forest, the material can have hidden imperfections. If the scales are on and it's all glued up and sanded close to tolerance - then you...

Has anyone been tempted to buy the MOD Survival knife? I was. First I bought a wooden handled one but changed my mind because I saw the model with black handles and info all stamped in the blade - makers name/ Nato part numbers etc Anyways I was hooked by this dark slab of steel despite all...

I guess I grew up with camping - my parents took me on a lot of camping holidays. Then my friend Charles introduced me to the concept of wild camping/survival. Ended up in remote places like the lakes, S.Wales and Dartmoor to name a few. Then I discovered knives and I got hooked too easily...
