    what useless kit have you bought?

    A "survival tin", something's not too bad, but had a mini fake Buck 110 knife that was as sharp as Bruce Forsyth's jokes! Must has spent hours as a kid trying to get that cheap stainless steel thing sharp - inexperience of youth! Oh well. Made me laugh this thread as funny thing is that a lot...

    Swiss Army style knife suggestions?

    Love my SAKs too. I have Alpine and Picnicker models, both 111mm(4.4") side locks! Excellent knives and like little lasers, had them 25 years, so look after them and they last. They are great cubs/scouts knives too. I use them for small work, food prep when camping as back-up or companion to my...

    Cleaning your bushcraft knife - Video

    Magic Eraser blocks are just melamine sponges so are mild abrasives, perhaps like middle of 00 and 0000 steel wool, just without the rusting. For some bits I have just Jif/Cif as mild abrasive (works wonders in car windscreen too), or a cheap toothpaste. All these cheap as chips in any Home...

    what does bushcraft mean to you?

    An excuse to play with knives. But in reality its a form of escapism from the hectic money driven capitalist world and getting back to nature, the world and universe we live in like a rebalance of priorities. As many kids would say "going offline"

    inflatable dinghy in the river wear !

    You'll cover that whole area in no time with the tide flow. All the shore bits are all like quicksand so will suck you into the mud if you try getting out to shore if your not careful, but around South Hylton there's a jetty type stretch if you want a rest, but as I said you'll cover area quick...

    inflatable dinghy in the river wear !

    Ive used these types on rivers before, perfectly fine for river like wear, unless you are going to parts of river with deep to shallow changing parts with constant rocks and rubbing, as you don't mention which part of Wear - its very varied in places. I did explore Wear as kid and we just had...

    What did you buy today?

    Work sharp Field Sharpener 2.2.1 - looks a lot smaller in real life than it does online - I was shocked at first. But a nice bit of kit all the same and gets the job done!
