Thanks for that Jodie, the Yew is such a lovely tree. We have one in our local churchyard that has been carbon dated at over 1000 years old, as you can gather it is pretty big. Where it has split whilst growing it's hollow inside and a small person could easily get inside it. Boosh.

I know a few members are from up north so i thought i'd highlight the train crash that has just happened up in Cumbria, just incase anone has loved ones that travel around this area. Cumbrian train crash Boosh.

The only maths i've learnt so far is that hammock + tarps + knives + all the other toys = empty wallet! :rolleyes: Boosh.

Nice one lol :lmao: Can't blame a lad for trying! :D Boosh.

There are plenty of cheap knives, but if you want cheap and good reliable knives then you can't go wrong with these. Frosts Mora High Carbon I actualy prefer the clipper, nice rubber non-slip handle. Clipper I'm taking it you are just after a general bushcraft knife? Boosh.

Nice job there! Whats the top one made out of? I'd have to have mine a bit shorter, i'm 5ft 9 so i think i'd look like Yoda in one! :D Boosh.

I've not done this myself, but a couple of lads i know are doing this at the moment around Britain. Heres the thread i put up about it. A walk around Britain Boosh.

I'm looking forward to trying this too, as are my girls who are constantly asking when they can go and tap a tree! :rolleyes: Got myself a scotch eyed auger the other day off ebay for £2.50, a bargain i think by the looks of the other prices on tool sites. I'm eager to learn the correct...

:D Good idea, but i'd like to keep what little looks i have thank you! The love spoon and the choker is a great idea, might do some investigating into those. Thanks, Boosh.

Can anyone recommend a nice little project that would be a nice sentimental gift to give to a partner? During all the usual hype and over-spending that certain times of the year brings (xmas and the likes), we have often done a £5 or £10 challenge where we have'nt been able to spend over this...

Just makes me think that this thread here.... http://www.bushcraftuk.com/community/showthread.php?t=18836 is all the more poiniant! Boosh.

So what we are saying then is stay away from uprooted trees that are still attatched to the rootball, yes? Thats understandable now you mention it, i think most people would be surprised ath the amount of roots under your average tree in the woods. :eek: As i said before, we have loads round...

Interesting subject this, we have tons of uprooted trees around here in the woods and never heard of them snapping back. How does a tree "snap back" up again once it's uprooted? :confused: Boosh.

:lmao: I actualy used to think that until i got my own garden! Now i've even got my own gardening gloves! :D Just to clarify, the pic in my above post is the fire pit i PLAN to build in the future, not the one i have now. I've just got a load of bricks loosely stacked in a circle for the...

Tell me about it! :rolleyes: I've just patched up 4 holes in my walls at the end of my hallway where i was too impatient to wait for the rain to stop after making a bamboo bow! :o Great bow there Snufkin, definately something special about the self-made bows. Boosh.

Thanks for the replies, in fairness i was using closed ones that probably were'nt bone dry. :rolleyes: Could'nt find any dry ones but i thought the heat from the fire would dry them out quick enough. No matter, we can but persevere! Thanks again, Boosh.

I've never used pine cones before so last night i thought i'd try a couple on the fire. Now i obviously did something wrong as before i knew it they were popping and spitting all over the place like little firecrackers going off! :confused: How do you use them properly please? Thanks...

Wow what a great idea! Adding that to my list of possible projects! Thanks for that. Boosh.

I moved into a new place a few months ago, it's just me and my two little girls. The house is pretty much up together now and it's time to start looking at what to do with the garden. I have a blank canvas basicaly and i'm looking to have a garden that is nice enough to sit in with friends...
