Thanks Tony! (I spotted the error 5 minutes after posting the message).

Hi Folks. Just thought I'd drop by and say hello as I've not been on here for ages as I've been busy doing bushcrafty and forest schooly type stuff including setting up my own company (but I can't tell you about that as it says so in the forum rules). If you happen to remember me; long time...

As just posted on a different thread I love the shape and feel of the Karesuando Boar Knife as they fit my hand like a glove.

Make that +2 for Lurch & Lakeland Bushcraft

I've enjoyed reading through this thread, looking at the various options on the market, etc. Personally I use my Mora all the time and I've just splashed out on one of these http://www.casstrom.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7&products_id=120. It has failings, but I love the...

Standard Frosts of Mora Clipper model. There is a good reason all bushcraft schools issue them for students to learn with. :)

Ok, spoke to someone who's opinion I trust; apparently they are very good. Thanks for all the views.

Very impressive.

Evening Folks, Has anyone purchased from Ultimate Adventure Hardware in the past and if so how do you rate them? Thanks Chris

Well I've dug out my old 2 season bag tonight with a view to using it inside the larger 3 season bag (and a bivi bag) this weekend when they are forecasting that it will be down to minus 10 on Saturday. I've been in the 2 season bag in minus 17 before now and frankly it was unpleasant, so...

Hi folks, Time for a general discussion thread. And the question is; When it's going to be really cold, are two sleeping bags better than one (ie one inside the other as per the US sleeping system)? Chris

John, another PM sent. Unfortunately I'm going to pass on it. Sorry. Chris

Unless you are sold on wearing CH's I can highly recommend Dickies 'Eisenhower' trousers. Around £15-£25, plenty of pockets and absolutely bomb proof. I've (deliberately) crashed through 3-4 feet tall brambles and not had a single scratch thanks to the heavy canvas-like weave. (No links, etc...

WOW!!!! I really like the beaded Mountain Man bag (Christmas present). Will check with the boss and may take it off your hands. Chris

Blimey John!... Erm, I've got a couple of Ex forces OG jackets. 1x Austrian M65 type (large), slight mark (rust stain?) on the cuff, & 1x German M65 type (large), A1. Chris

Hi John, I'll send you a PM if that's ok? Chris

What John said! I've got three of them (different sizes) and they are fab. TBH a 5" hinge is best. Tip; get 3 pair of hinges, not two. The reason will become obvious after making the first one :) Chris

I think the main thing with the training course is that, as discussed on another thread, upon completion you will have a regulated qualification which confirms a certain level of training and ability in lesson delivery. Naturally this needs to be judged against the training & abilities that you...

Having looked around the costs for L3 training varies anywhere between £500 & £1000. As for returns on investment; it's up to you and what your business plan says that you can reasonably get out of it. Sorry I can't be much more help... Saying that, the IOL Forest School SIG are having a...
