    Tips for the small homestead.

    It's all very well for these guys with a nice big kitchen, pantries, spare rooms, green houses, sheds and plenty of land. But what about us guys that have flats, live in towns or small houses that want to do a bit more for ourselves and at least make the beginnings of a homestead? I live in a...

    What to take for my 2nd night swinging?

    I wild camped for the first time with the Suffolk bushcraft group last month. Though I have camped in a tent plenty of times I've mostly done it next to my car where weight and space have not been an issue. I would like to get my kit down to one small Bergen and be able to carry it for a...

    What to do with bees wax?

    Picked this up at the booty this morning. I wasn't going to buy it but when she said 20p and the misses wasn't next to me to tell me off for cluttering up the house (so don't let me go to a boot fare right?) I got it. I've made candles before but was wondering what other uses there were for...

    Spring equinox walk

    Spring equinox walk. Yesterday we took the little one out for his first ever spring equinox walk. We went to Alton Water in Suffolk just because we knew it would be good terrain for the buggy. When we arrived it was wetter than expected. So we took a bit of a detour out towards...

    Hi all. I'm after a 4x4m tarp. Just wanted to pick up a good 2nd hand before I have to spend cash on a new one. Can swap for, sharp things, 5.11 moab6.

    Off the shelf sheath for mora 2?

    I'm thinking of getting a couple of mora 2 knives to use as my main belt knife. I've got a few customs but all my bushcraft knives have fairly thick steel and I like the idea of having a cheap knife I can beat up and not worry about damaging. Also, I've been using my mora carving knives...

    Wanted - Tarp

    I'm after a tarp. Preferably 4x4. 3x3 minimum, but could do with something a bit bigger. I can swap for a 5.11 Moab 6 in sandstone. Also looking out for a 12cm billy can.

    Becker BK9. Looking for kit.

    Edit ............... This item has now been traded. Up for grabs is a Ka-bar Becker BK9. I've had it about 6 months but never used it and from the edge and blade I'd say its never been used for more than paper. It's been quite heavily modded. It has red liners and the hollow scales...

    What thread for sewing leather?

    I've just picked up a bargain leather jacket from the boot fair. I'd like to make some possibilities pouches. The leather is thick but supple. What thread should I be using? I have a standard sewing box with some good quality cottons but I presume they will not be strong enough. I...

    What tarp?

    Well I'm out of money for this month it the first thing I'll be buying on payday will be a tarp. I've always been a "camp in a tent next to the car" kind of camper, so I've never looked in to tarps at all. I've seen tarps for £5 on eBay and there is even on for £1 in Tesco at the moment...

    Nubuck leather. Wax on? Or wax off?

    I just received these Meindl mountain boots. I'm currently not sure if they are the Himalaya or Island pro model. Ether way, I have just taken the laces out to wax them. I've got timberland 'waximum' wax. On the back it says 'do not use on suede or nubuck. Is that just for aesthetics? Will...

    Recommend me some boots.

    I'm after a pair of boots but have no idea where to start. Budget £60 but I'd rather look out for much higher quality 2nd hand boots if I can. I have just worn out my karrimor snow boots. They were perfect, but the quality was poor and they only lasted a year. I'm now wearing an old...

    Homity pie

    A World War Two classic that has all but died out. My nan told me about it a few weeks ago and I managed to find a recipe. This will be a hit with the veggies and really quite a cheap way of feeding a large family. Unfortunately I'm not professional enough to worry about measurements but...

    Hedgecrafter intro.

    Hello everyone. I met one of your members yesterday and decided to join. I've had a fair bit of experience camping but not in bushcraft. So I come to you guys as a newbie. I've had an interest in sharps for a few years and that's what got me in to bushcraft. I'm from Kent but now...
