Afternoon all, As the title says, bit of a long shot but here goes. Been a member of this forum for some years now and have decided to return after some life events taking prescient over recent years, and sadly the activity appears to be low from what i remember. Most (infact all) of my...

Hey guys. Been a while since I made a new vid due to various reasons. This is a Hazel bowdrill set, which I had great difficulty with in the beginning to get an ember going. I have tried to detail the difference in technique to other woods as much as I can both in the video and the...

Hello again guys. Popped out again on Sunday after a works night out so am hungover to hell on this one. This is just a quick demonstration / tutorial regarding a Pine on Pine Bowdrill set. Ive kept it short again rather than droning on etc. I found this set probably the second toughest...

Hey guys, a very quick vid on Birch on Birch bowdrill set. Kinda cocked up with the weather on this one and got very cold after my hike in, and was determined to record something as that was my whole intention. Please read the discription too as that gives some extra info which i forgot to...

Hi All Just a short vid of some dirt time with some friends. Not a great deal of content, but thought i would share anyway. Just started recording, so apologies for the lack of professionalism, but future vids will have better angles, quality and content. The weather apparently was awful...

Going to the USA for 10 days over Xmas. Leaving on 19/12/15. 2 Questions. First one, can I pack a multi tool into my suit case? (Not hand luggage) Second question. Anything I should look for out there to bring back? I'm after an all rounder 4 season sleeping bag, not wanting to part with...

This is a little outing I did today solely to test a diy Wood Gas stove I made. Managed to escape during a small 3 hour break from the rain in the Rhondda Valleys after the the gales and wind we have experienced for the past week. This is mainly a test of trial and error, so mods, please feel...

Hey all. Decided to make a Wood Gas Stove today after making a very successful beer can stove last year. So I used x2 Kenco tins I'm varying sizes. So..... I'm far from any expert clearly, but I noticed a couple of things. Pretty difficult to get these things ignited, and PROBABLY , due to...

First time I've seen one, shame it's not a double, but sure hope it's not the last I see.

Hi all, been looking to invest in a bivi to go with a tarp. I'm looking for something that isn't short on space at the foot end and obviously waterproof. I stumbled across the below which I would look to remove internals to suit my needs, but I cat find any real reviews on it. Does anyone...

Hi all. I'm new here, long time follower, first time poster and all that cliché stuff. Sorry if I've posted in the wrong place or if this has been posted / asked before, please feel free to move etc. Anyway, I've been thinking. I have been interested in bushcraft for approx 14 or so years...
