    Mild winter?

    This is my 4th winter in Ireland, so not 100 percent sure if this winter is normal. The first 3 we had a lot of cold, some snow and a lot frost over December into January. This year has been very mild by comparison. Comparatively there have been maybe 3 mornings where we had frost so far and...

    Trapping, numbers game

    I've been watching the UK version of alone, and they're obviously struggling with food. Now I see some of them have a gill net on a log set up and some of them have a random trap set. They also spend a bit of time fishing a hand line. Maybe they have more going on but it doesn't look like it...

    Ontario Knife Company is gone... maybe

    I was just browsing another forum, and saw that OKC has been sold and is being liquidated. Sad news. If any you guys wanted to try one of their products, best get it before it's gone for good. Now... I'm not fact checking this, but taking the conversation at face value. Their site is down too...

    Can someone please ID this trap?

    I saw this on YouTube a while back and can't remember the name of it. Does someone know what this is called? I'd like to look it up and see if I can do it better. I made this one from memory and put it up in the garden. Not sure it's 100%, but works okay. I want to read up a bit more on it...

    I found an axe head. Need advice. Pic heavy.

    I was digging up some lawn to make a flower bed in the garden when I hit something hard. A hatchet head. I know it's not an ancient artifact by the broken fiberglass in the eye. I cleaned it up with a wire brush on the drill and removed the remaining handle. Now, I'm trying to decide whether I...

    Mil-Tec canteen cup lid

    I've been gifted a Mil-Tec bottle with a canteen cup. Can someone point me in the right direction to get a lid that fits? I've never really been interested in this type of container before, so don't know anything about them except that they're all different sizes. P.S. upon searching I found...

    Opinions needed. Buck 102 / 105

    I'm looking for opinions on Buck knives. Specifically a 102 or 105. Now this isn't for bushcrafty purposes, but a non offensive knife I can take fishing with me. So cutting line, food prep, a tent peg or two and the odd trout. Mostly I fish in catch and release areas anyway. So a camping knife...

    Hello from Dublin

    Hello. I'm Ricardo. I'm a South African living in Dublin, ROI. I grew up camping and fishing in South Africa and took up an interest in bushcraft just before moving to Ireland around 2 years ago. Now that we're starting to settle down I'm trying to get out again and enjoy nature. Camping and...
