    Modern day Billhook

    There’s lots of old billhooks still out there (on eBay, on Facebook, and on various sellers websites) and, most of them, will be better by far than any new ones. A lot of the time they won’t come to you in a useable condition and you’ll need to put a proper edge on them, but you can pick...

    Wording of ‘zombie knife and machete’ ban being reported?

    Woolly Pully vs Fleece vs Ranger Shirt as Mid-Layer?

    Woolly Pully vs Fleece vs Ranger Shirt as Mid-Layer?

Last few weeks I've been wearing a merino wool baselayer under a light fleece with a Swanndri Ranger Extreme on top, and I've just bought a s/h Bushshirt...

    Fire design in tiny kelly kettles

    This is probably classed as cheating but I just stick a couple of those ‘twisted’ fire starters in the bottom, light one with a lighter, and then drop stuff down the chimney - most of my fuel is chips left over from woodcarving… I use my kettle everyday at work and I can’t be dealing with ferro...

    What are your favourite pocket knives?

    When I’m at work (I’m a countryside ranger) I have a leatherman rebar on my belt for dirty/harder jobs and a fallkniven pcx in my pocket for quick access for simple cutting (twine etc). Outside of work it’s normally a Victorinox pioneer Alox or a Waiter
