I'm looking for a new set of pans (for one person tho often hungry) for hanging over a fire and standing on a honey stove. I'm wondering about the Mil-com set http://www.greenmanbushcraft.co.uk/outdoor-kitchen/mil-com-billy-can-nesting-set.htm Has anybody used them and if so are they any...

I've been reading a book about the English Civil War that contains several references to "Monmouth Caps" as worn by the common soldier. Apparently they were felted and very warm. I've just found some information and a pattern. It doesn't tell you about felting, which is easy to do in a washing...

I want to make a pullover smock using tweed fabric. Does anyone have a pattern or know where I could get one? My size is medium - 38" to 40" chest and 5' 10" tall.

Hope this is the right forum. It's a group shelter that I've built. Best told in pictures. Be happy to answer any questions if there are any. 1. The plan. Blue dots are upright posts. Green lines are cross bars and the red dot is the fire pit. Each green bar (except the doorway at the...

I'm surprised nobody commented on this when I included it in another post. The only Laplander carriers i've seen are pouches which seem bulky, and expensive in terms of leather so I came up with a streamlined version that works brilliantly. It would be better if it had a press stud on the belt...

Here's my second knife and the first made with wood. It's curly birch that was provided by Pikebite.

Here's my first possibles pouch . . . and the inside . . . and the whole leather thing with a laplander carrier . . .

Howdie I'm working on a possibles pouch and need a 15mm cap ring spring press stud. I bought some on ebay but they're rubbish whilst buying them from Leprevo or Tandy is too expensive as I only need 1. Does anyone have a few they can send me? I'll pay for them plus the p&p. PM me if you can help.

Here's a pic of my first knife and sheath project. I've since made a simple carrier for a Laplander folding saw (may post some pics later to see if anyone thinks such a thing has commercial value), and am presently pondering on a design for a Possibles Pouch. Can you tell I've got leather to use up!

Does anyone know of a place within about 50 miles of Southampton where I can set up camp for a night or two this weekend (17th & 18th Jan 09)? Fire essential. Vehicle access preferred but I have been known to walk before so I guess I could do it again if I have to.

I've done a search on the forums but can't find anything. Does anyone know of a wood, preferably within a 20 mile radius of Ely that can be camped in for one night?

THIS IS NOT A NEW THREAD - It's a poster for a thread somewhere else that might interest you. Hi I've started a thread in the main body of Meetups under the title of 'Llangollen Group'. I've set three dates for meets - late June, mid July and early August - with a view to forming a membership...

Hi All This thread takes up from the 'Next Delamere' thread in which the idea of a meet in a wood near Llangollen was suggested by me. Also suggested was the use of the meet as an opportunity for people to see the wood in the flesh and to discuss forming some kind of 'membership of users' which...

My nice new tarp has been properly christened with two weeks in the woods so is very grubby - general dirt, dog foot prints (they jumped on it the moment it came out of the bag), bird droppings and a drop of pine resin. Any suggestions for cleaning it properly. I have brushed it but wondered...

I've only recently acquired a Nanok Endurance and got a burn hole in it already. The hole is about the size of a finger nail. Any suggestions for repairing it?

Can anyone tell me where I can order blades from? I'm not looking for anything fancy - just working on my first knife handle and wanted to buy a Mora style blade to fit it too. I'm dubious about the short tang so don't want to use a blade from an existing clipper.

I've just re-helved a hatchet with a 14" hickory handle. I've inserted an ash wedge the length of the eye and want to also add a metal wedge or two. Can anyone tell me of a supplier for such wedges and if they have a particular name? Searching the net under 'axe wedges', 'metal axe wedges' etc...

Myself and a couple of others from BCUK are planning a meet in an 18 acre wood (complete with its own spring) for the last weekend of October - Friday 26 to Sunday 28 - in the Vale of Llangollen (about 10 miles south and slightly west of Wrexham) and we wanted to gauge interest. There's plenty...

Just wanted to let you know about a bushcraft knife-making course. The first one is today and I was due to go on on it but unfortunately was up all night so not in a fit state to be working with sharp things. They would like to run more such courses in the future but getting interested...

Do forgive me if I've posted the wrong thing in the wrong place but I'm a bit of a newbie and this is my first 'new thread' posting. Just wanted to let you know about a bushcraft knife-making course. The first one is today and I was due to go on on it but unfortunately was up all night so not...
