Hey folks, I bet there's someone on here who knows a really good introduction to biochemistry? Think somewhere around GCSE or A level not PhD. Any suggestions, book related! Welcome...

Ooooh, exciting. I've worked out that I'm going to offer three different workshops at the moot each for 2.5 hours - obviously subject to permission from hwmbo! 1. Peg loom mat, rug or seat cushion 2. Making a set of weaving sticks and a simple strap using some cheery yarn 3. Weaving a...

So, I'm going to make some tent poles for a tepee and I want to make the poles so that they are in two bits, but I cannot find connectors for wooden poles anywhere - any ideas anyone?

Am I being unreasonably irritated in that some bloke is selling stuff on evilbay as pre-Colombian artefacts which are clearly just stones. They are in moderately interesting shapes but they're not worked, it's all just to do with the rock formation. I can't remember what the rock is, but I found...

So, lovely people, I was due to have a weekend away at rough close but the weather and work conspired against me. Having set that time aside to do fun stuff I decided to make sure it wasn't a total waste so instead I made the following - a woven basket/bag and strap, a pair of moccasins, a strap...

So, I've been back from away for nearly three weeks, and haven't written up my trip report or even finished my journal on paper. Too many other things going on - starting college part time (Archaeology at Oxford Uni), doing a TEfL course (one exam to go and I've worked really hard on it and done...

Dear fellow bush-crafters, I thought I'd write to let you know about my recent month in Turkey. I'll do it in parts as I can bore on about it. This is about how it all came about, and the value of being ready to try the seemingly impossible. Ages ago some lovely person posted a link on this...

Well, in Turkey I bought a wood burning tea kettle samovar thing. It's in sections and the base got a bit bashed when coming through baggage handling, it's still fire worthy and the tank doesn't leak, and it doesn't rock but and here's the thing - does anyone know anyone on the forum who might...

This is a stretch, but if anyone is interested in an eriba troll GTL 555 I'm selling one - to fund my tent and bushcraft habit! It's from 2004. Currently in Cheshire.

This is a brag - I'm away in Turkey for a month on an EU funded gig to learn some traditional crafts (how much am I loving this?), in my spare time I have finished three spoons and a pair of moccasins (based on a template from First Nations on the eastern seaboard of continental Northern...

Hey folks, I'm currently on a dig in the wilds of Northants! I'm camping in a very open field, no water on site, obviously no electric, portaloos (sort of), the most open site imaginable - lots of wind! Keeps blowing my stove out! And it's great! A Romano British site - have found a piece of...

At the moot I met this really nice woman, her husband rob, and two boys, James and john, anyone know robs forum name? He was the chap wearing the tricorn that wasn't badger... I'd love to get in touch with Roz...

So, lovely people, I managed to get the last place on a boat out of Cardiff to Flat Holm for the big wild sleep out with the rspb this weekend. I'm currently thinking about what to take for my grub, and which tent/shelter to go for.. Currently veering towards my tarp tent which is very very...

Anyone know of a source of pack baskets in the UK?

Hey there good folks, I'm anticipating parting with ££ at the Bushmoot for items from traders, as contributions for materials etc. I'm new to the event so it'd be really helpful to know two things, Do people tend to prefer cash, or will some people take a cheque especially if for a larger...

I've packed my bags - two rucksacks, three food bags, a loue and a lavuu. I've read the weather forecast, I've sharpened my knives, I've found the spare groundsheet, I've compressed my sleeping quilt, mat and extra blanket, and pillow, I've debated the merits of various stoves (taking an Esbit...

Hey there, so I reckon there may be people on this forum who have given some thought to the difference between bushcraft, native (First Nations/ Aboriginals/ indigenous populations), lithic, and primitive skills. I'm going on a ten day native skills event soon and I'm getting some thinking in...

Go on, there must be one out there somewhere, languishing in an attic, or cupboard, or back of a smelly land rover. I could liberate it for the kind of paper that buys pints or other bits of kit you'd rather have.

I've been planning to walk Offa's dyke over the last few years if only I could find two weeks to devote to it. Finally I've given in, I'm going to section hike it. So Monday and atuesday this week I'll be walking from Monmouth to Chepstow. Next week I'll walk to Monmouth from maybe Hay over...
