Don't think this has been polled before, and always wanted to do one of these!:o I know there are quite a few leaders, teachers, instructors etc of various subjects on the site and was just wondering how many people nowadays have CRB certificates. I hold a couple, for work and for...

Thought this subject deserves a thread of its own! For those that don't know Stags Breath is a whisky/mead blend liqueur, it was introduced to a few of us by Wayland and its quite nice!!! There have been a few threads taken off topic about it so I decided to start this one, mainly for Spam...

Wondering what sort of interest there may be in a greenlane/bushcraft weekend? I know there are a few greenlaners out there and Martyns L/R pics seems to be bringing out a few 4x4 owners! Not thinking of anything too challenging, or too organised, just a start at wherever at whatever time and...

Sorry it has took a while to get back to people on this one, but I have a date! 7th,8th and 9th of September is a little later than ideal, but is the first quiet weekend at the site. It will be basically the same as a normal meet but we will offer our services to do what needs doing, this will...

As the title really, any scouters going to the sun run next weekend? I am taking my older explorers and it would be good to meet in the bar(n)!:beerchug:

I booked it, will you come? Briefly, I have booked Forest Camp at Delamere for a July(w/end of 13th to 15th) meet. Same details as meet before, got no activities sorted, but sure we can get something together, I will repeat the details in this thread, but I want to get a quick idea for...

Just been looking at some of the articles and there seem to be a fair few with missing picture links, this maybe due to hosting but in some cases it makes the article useless. Noticed too on a lot of the articles there is no way of seeing who wrote the tutorial, sure there used to be?

OK, I booked it will you come? I have booked Forest camp scout camp for a meet up on the weekend of 20-22 April. Details as previous meets only thing that has changed is the cost, it will now cost £4 per person per night. For those that haven't been before Forest Camp is a scout camp just...

After reading the bushcraft business name thread http://www.bushcraftuk.com/community/showthread.php?t=18324, sitting with a glass of wine, I thought about some bushcraft pub names! The shaved arms, The tarp and hammock, The swinging sleeper, I am sure I will get some more as I gt through a...

Noticed a couple of threads lately were people have offered to post out local resources, and a couple of the things are really common around me. If I had known people wanted them I would have posted some stuff out, I am thinking of the razorstrop fungus and bullrush in particular. But around...

After a bit of discussion at the recent Achray meet it was decided to go for a North West meet in November. I have booked Forest Camp today, same place as last NW meet, The date is going to be 10, 11 and 12th of November. Forest camp is situated in Cheshire near Delamere Forest near the...

Does anyone know much about davy lamps, or anyone use one? I know the historical stuff and there uses in a mine, have just been given a working one and it looks good. I am assuming it burns parafin, the one I have was wrapped in 20 year old newspaper and lit straight away with the fuel that was...

Ray Mears bushcraft on until at least 10pm, John Lord is on at the minute.

I have got a bees nest in my back garden, what should I do? It is in a bird box about five feet up on the fence, so it is out of the way of the dog and the kids will know not to touch it. It is no problem at the moment, was quite relaxing watching the coming and going, but is it likely to...

A question for any blacksmiths out there, will a firesteel made from mild steel then heated and dipped in carbon make a spark? I work in a college and had a couple of students stood round for a while so got them to bend mild steel into a basic firesteel, then heated it to cherry red and dipped...

Just noticed how many threads there have been lately to do with injuries and bits of us falling apart! :sigh: Is it that Bushcraft is bad for your health, or are we all of a "certain age" and well past our best by dates? :confused: Discuss.... :lmao:

After a conversation round the fire about books at a recent meet it was discovered that most of us there had read or were reading the same type of books! These had nothing to do with bushcraft and it has set me wondering how many of us read the same stuff. The ones that come up were by Terry...

Just been a feature on radio4 about selling nettle tea to china! Amongst the information it was stated not to make use nettles after flowering as it can cause kidney problems, not something I heard before, anybody know the details?

Found this site, looks a good resource for finding the cheapest fuel in your area. http://www.petrolprices.com/

Would anyone happen to know a source for goose feathers? It is for making quills so would need to be flight feathers. I had a conversation today at a local education place where they do historical lessons and they have trouble getting hold of them apparently, I figure if anybody knew someone...
