    What colour emergency strobe light?

    No problem, an ACR Firefly is about £70 (or under 5 cheap strobes) and will provide many years of reliable service, I carried a military version as part of my diving kit for years and years - always worked without fail as long as you look after it. Whilst I agree that knowledge is King, being...

    What colour emergency strobe light?

    This is also correct, there’s a reason you get a whistle on your life jacket. Yet another opportunity to break out your Morse code and start blasting SOS.

    What colour emergency strobe light?

    Most SOLAS strobes are cool white, so I’d not bother trying to reinvent the wheel with whatever reasoning comes to your mind. Stick with the industry standard - cool white and learn SOS in Morse or just buy a strobe that transmits SOS. Light without context is just that. A flashing light is a...

    Government Consultation - Banning Ninja Swords

    How about stop banning things as all it does is infringe on personal freedoms without having any effect on criminals. Total waste of time and money.

    Non-military camouflage?

    If you’re looking at t-shirts, it seems a little pointless unless you’re going to be camming up your bare skin too. Just stick with muted greens and browns.

    Hello, new person in East Sussex here

    Hello from Eastbourne, plenty of options around Lewes to get out and about. There are a few campsites locally that offer a wild camping experience, you’ve got pretty good options from Lewes so your best bet is to get an OS map and start exploring. You might struggle with the wild swimming here...

    A New Knife For My Foraging Adventures

    I have a lot of orange paracord, it’s primarily what I use as it’s most visible in woodland. Anyway, back to the OP’s thread. If you like the P90/P120 it is worth taking a look at Stu’s MuntjaX model too.

    A New Knife For My Foraging Adventures

    Fair one! I don’t return the knife to the sheath when I’m working on a carcass for hygiene reasons (until I’ve finished and cleaned off the blade). The paracord gives me a few options to retain the knife - between the teeth, clutched between palm and pinky finger - for when I need both hands...

    A New Knife For My Foraging Adventures

    Kind of worries me that so many of you are worried about dropping and losing knives. If it’s not in your hand, sheath it. Simple way to not lose a knife. Very nice blade though Mistwalker. I have a P90 Ultralight as my hunting knife, although my picture is nowhere near as great as yours!

    what Budget knife recommendations

    What’s it for? Yes a knife is a tool, but it helps to have the right tool for the job. The more info we have, the more we can help. For example, a Scandi grind blade is great for a lot of bushcraft tasks, but if you’re wanting to do food prep, skin/gralloch critters, butchery in the field etc...
