You cannot go wrong with a CPM-3V Aurora. It is a little longer than is ideal for game preparation, but that extra length makes it excellent at batoning . The first photo has an Enzo trapper 95 for scale (and my homemade survival knife) My glove size is large and the Aurora fits perfectly. I am...

A little axe I have been working on for a few weeks. . It's an Elwell 2 3/4 lb head from e-bay. It had a decent amout of corrosion and had already had a botched renovation, so I decided to get creative. The handle is a 24" hickory one with decent grain orientation and lovely colour. Just...

Update. I spent the weekend at the Woodland Ways Bushcraft School (Friday evening to Sunday midday) and gave the Aurora a bit if a work out. Before I go on, I made some adaptations to the sheath - adding a D ring and a dangler loop made from 25mm webbing - simple sewing job. I also gave it 4...

Fits right in between my Enzo and my custom Beast

The Bark River Aurora isn't cheap. With shipping and import fees I paid..... oh god - how much? Anywho.. The knife feels awesome in the hand. I realise the scales are a bit out there - but I wanted something unusual and I'm not a big fan of natural materials anyway. Out of the box it's a...

I have a Bark River Aurora in 3v on it's way. I hope I like it.

I have an Elmax Enzo Trapper (Scandi Zero grind), it's not as hard as you might imagine. It does take longer - but not a lot. I made the kit for under £100. Add that to the fact that they are significantly less likely to get a ding since they are much tougher and it balances out.

Yeah, looks a bit generic for the price. O1 tool steel seems a bit low end tbh. You should be getting a supersteel for that much.

Once you try Japanese Waterstones, you will never go back.

If you can manage to mix 24 hour epoxy, I recommend an Elmax Enzo trapper 95 kit. I paid £70 for the blade and handle scale material. Bark River style handle, with a supersteel blade.

That's weird - thought I already posted my pics up... This is my self made kydex for my self made knife. Rear plate supports a Tec-Lok that can be rotated for horizontal carry and a 1" webbing dangler. The body has a removable ferrorod loop. There is about 5 feet of 550 PC for emergencies...

Thx for the replies, I think the army surplus one will suit me fine for adding a season to my 2-3 season bag and keep the wind out whilst I am under the tarp. For the moment weight isn't a big issue. If it becomes one I suspect the best way to go will be a small tent and a better bag.

Here's on I made. Kydex with DCL Combat Loop and Webbing Dangler attached via rear plate, side mounted ferrorod loop and about 5 feet of paracord for emergencies.

Porridge and Tea for me. Bacon on the first day if it's a weekender.

I am considering getting a Gore-Tex bivvy bag - probably an ex army one from evil-bay. What can I expect from it - how much warmer will I be? Will it cause condensation? Are they heavy? What's the pack size? and how wide are they at the feet (mummy style or square?) thx in advance.

I came close to getting this recently but settled in the 750ml pot instead. Couldn't get past the rubber handle coating. The 750ml pot is excellent, no taste from it and is well built. It will say it cools down quickly, so if you want to eat from it, you will need to be fast.

Just ordered one. (although I got it on Amazon)

Been moving more and more into Bushcraft over the past year. I am an avid car camper and want to transition to a more basic style. Keen to learn rustic skills but not averse to using modern tech either.
