    Fallkniven U1 long term opinions

    These have been out for a while now, and prices have changed just a bit! Any long term owners here with any thought in the knife as an EDC? I've already got a few favourites, pk70, proper, and such, but I really like the look of the U1, however it's a pretty hefty price these days given how...

    Sierra Nevada

    First off, granted, I've got a couple of more knowledgeable resources, in that they're locals, but perhaps they don't have bushcraft specific knowledge. Just looking to tap all resources. Anyone ever visited the aforementioned mountains and know anything about the ability to wild camp and all...

    Bivvy recommendation

    Hello all. It's been a while! Despite the criticisms, I survived my outing last year without a problem :) so now I'm thinking of different persuits. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a bivvy. Be it army surplus or whatnot. Beyond needing to fit a sleeping bag and bog...

    Photobucket fix

    Not sure if this has been done already, but I'll post just in case. I know a lot of people were upset about their logs and such being neutered, not any more. For chrome users: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/photobucket-embed-fix/naolkcpnnlofnnghnmfegnfnflicjjgj?hl=en For firefox...

    Fort williams

    Wow, this forum recycles threads rather fast. Anyway, following my planning thread, I'm up to Scotland at the weekend until the 6th of July. The prefix is challenge, because I've camped about twice in my life, in crystal Palace campsite, and at Zeeburg in Amsterdam. So tenting really...

    Post graduation trip. Ideas wanted

    Hey all (I had some account issues last night so actually created a new account to post this thread, but it's yet to be approved, so I'll create it again now I've worked out what was up with my account). After 3 years at uni, with barely a day off (I've had 3 days off since December 28th!), I'm...

    Mini Review: Waxed Canvas Roll-top Bag by Peto

    Made by Peto from Groundgear.uk Just another mini review based more on observation than testing (that will be happening once i get back to somerset :) ). Everything is simply my opinion, and i am happy to admit it is a laymans opinion at best. The bag arrived wrapped up in a bin bag inside...

    BK Beaver - mini review

    Hey all. I know there was a fair bit of interest in this knife, and interest in who bought it... well, it was me. Hard to pass it up at that price and given the comments in the thread. So to some, BK's quality is well-known, so this is more for those who have not encountered their products yet...

    My carving and whittling story

    So just figured it might be a nice contribution to create a thread about my (and my partners) whittling journey. As it is, neither of us have tried it before. I have a small book, but to be honest, I've never learnt from reading, I just like to learn by trying. So my first dive into...

    How to make dry wood easier for whittling

    Just wondering if anyone has any tried and trust "grandmas" methods for working with dry wood? The only stuff I have access to right now is so dry that my brand new Bahco can't even cut through the stuff. Soaking in water isn't having much of an effect.

    What do you consider razor/shave sharp?

    I know it is a seemingly silly question, but hear me out. Do you guys go for razor sharp, e.g one pass should result in a simple clean shave, something that requires continuous knife maintenance, or shave sharp in that 3 or 4 passes are required for a clean shave. This is of course in...

    Paracord tangke free storage

    Just wondering what your favourite method of paracord storage is? (sorry, couldn't work out which forum this was best suited to) I like quick release, like this 100ft doughnut I made, which works great, but boy does it take a while to do. So what is the most convenient way in your experiences?

    Input on putting together a first kit bag

    Hi all, straight to the point, I know nothing about bushcraft, but am highly experienced with online checkouts :D I've always wanted to get outdoors more, and having watched some Ray Mears with the missus, I started spending :) First, the context. I know my partner has done D of E, and has...

    Time to get out of the bustle

    Hi everyone. While i learn best through videos (try learning to crochet with text instructions!) this seems the place to be for leaning and asking advice. Tiny bit of background on me should you be interested.. I'm currently 27 and living in the centre of London while i do a degree in...
