Hi, I need to buy a new sleeping bag. I have looked up previous posts but I have some concerns. I was considering a 3 season down bag and a liner that I could possibly use year round in Ireland but considering the dampness of our climate should I go for a synthetic bag? I have had a...

Can anyone explain to me in detail the method of making bramble cordage? what time of year is best etc? I did a search but the links supplied dont seem to work anymore.

Now that its that time of year for the cracked and chapped lips, does anyone know of or heard if there are any alternatives for vaseline to get when your out and about? I have heard honey mentioned somewhere else but I havent tried it! Not that often I happen on honey bees either...I was...

Does anyone have any experiance working the bow drill with natural cordage? which is the best for the job? only asking because if you found yourself alone with only your knife (or not) would you be better off going for the hand drill method?

Interesting story on the news last nite about one Harry Hallowers. Discribed as a nature-loving vagabond. Maybe we could learn from this and set up camp in some wood and after 12 years or so we would own our very own bushcraft haven ;) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/6687931.stm

Hey I would like to know if anyone here could recommend a site or sites in Ireland where I could practice my bushcraft skills. I'd like somewhere close to Wexford but please mention anywhere you can think. Cheers
