    South West Bushcraft Show.

    Just found this and glad I did! Trying to get myself to be a bit more social so will definitely ride down from Forest of Dean for the day (unless the wife and boy want to join). I used to wild camp Dartmoor once or twice a year when I lived in Somerset. And have a pint at the Warren House...

    Mal de Mer

    Lots of good advice and tricks here! Well done all. My wife used to swear by Ginger Nuts while at least, went through a pack on one crossing from Roscoff, but to be fair to her it was a right old choppy 'un.

    Where Can I get a handle for my Ewell 6 Axe

    'ello from the Forest of Dean

    Hello to you all from the (currently) gloomy and grey Forest of Dean. I've been wild-camper and bushcraft enthusiast for many a year and my progeny is fast approaching an age when I can begin to impart some wisdom... so I thought I'd try and gather some from ya'll. Cheers, Jack.
