Ive been really inactive over the last few months so sorry about that, things have been busy and internet scarce!! In short, I met a woodsy girl who is studying a PhD in permaculture design, we fell in love and, with both of us always wanting to do some kind of off grid living, be it eco home...

I'm back home from uni for the summer but because I am really allergic to my parents house (it makes me very asthmatic from pets and dust) I have decided to spend the summer under my 3x3 tarp in the garden - mostly to see if i'm able to do permanent outdoor living!! I'll still be using the...

I have been promising to Lindsey for a while to take her out camping in the woods once it got warmer, and we managed to get out recently for a little overnighter. I must admit I was pretty nervous. I usually go out on trips to relax and be alone with some peace and quiet, and I was worried a...

In my travels across the web while procrastinating from revising for my art history finals, I have come across this youtuber: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNCK9s_jk7U The video has some gorgeous shots, amazing wilderness and he builds a tipi form a few tarps. I find his videos Really...

So now it's getting a little warmer I am starting to experiment with 3x3 tarp camping and i'm finding myself in need of a bivvy bag... I know the gore-tex bags are cheap but I really don't like the feel of the fabric and like stuff to be natural materials, wool and canvas as much as possible...

You asked for it and you got it! Post your tasty meat/animal product free camp recipes and helpful tips here! (and hopefully we can avoid getting into a debate about dietary choices eh?) ;) I'll start, Linda McCartney vegetarian sausages cooked over the fire on a stick! I'm also a fan of...

Any recommended places for canoeing and practicing bushcraft in Sweden? Ive done some searches on songs of the paddle but the focus over there seems to be large amounts of kit ad not much on bushcraft stuff like fire rules and use of natural materials. I'll be going at the beginning of August...

(oo err) Big ones small ones, fancy ones, simple ones, danglers, horizontal ones, hand made and shop bought, I want to see them! I'm going to be putting some handles on some blades soon and those knives will need some clothes, I'm weighing up my options... To start with, my current (not so...

Hi all, I know all of you like different comfort levels so I'll get a few wildly different answers, but I was wondering what the minimum you'd comfortably take hiking on a summer overnight/couple of nights, and your preferred method of carrying such gear? I started really getting into bushcraft...

Greetings and merry christmas to all!! What with living in the north pole with all his reindeer and such, I am convinced Father Christmas is an avid bushcrafter! I received Uncle Ray's new book (signed), a bearded axe that weighs nearly half that of my current axe and an old canvas and...

To celebrate/relax after the end of first semester at university I decided to take a trip up into the highlands with my hot tent for a few days before heading to my family home in dorset for Christmas. I was looking at the woods near Aviemore north of the Cairngorm Plateau but after looking...

Hi all, I'm looking for some advice. University finishes in a week and I'm planning to head up to the Cairngorms for some winter bushcraft and wild camping for a few nights, and was wondering if anyone has any recommended spots? I'm looking at getting the train to Aviemore, and to spend time...

So a little introduction, I'm part of the barefoot running/hiking movement, it originated from my interest in 'primitive' cultures and its links to bushcraft, basically in all aboriginal cultures, people are either barefoot or when its too cold have very thin flexible footwear. I won't go into...

I recently got my Seek Outside Cimarron and titanium collapsable wood stove in the post from the USA and got a chance to take it out into the pentlands for a second time this weekend. I didn't get any pictures of the first trip because I was busy working everything out, put managed to document...
