Racquette makes real working knives. Not just for looks. I've been using one of his blades for nearly a year now and am extremely pleased. Don't be hesitant if you're interested in one. BTW I'll be testing the one posted here. I ordered it a couple of months ago and received it today. Looking...

I get the impression that ventile may not be the fabric of choice for a lightweight outer garment that is both windproof and water resistant. Maybe I should try something else. I did find some nice patterns though. Thanks guys.

In my state we are allowed to legally take one deer per day from Oct. 15, the beginning of bow season, through Jan. 31, the end of rifle season. On days designated for...

Thanks for the input guys. I'll definitely check into Lowe Alpine gear and the Gore Tex Pac Light. In the mean time I'll wait on my Ranger Xtreme. Autumn is getting close as well as the next long trip to the woods

I know a lot has been written here about waterproof clothing that is durable enough for bushcraft but I'd like to get some more opinions. We experience wet cold winters where I live. Vey little snow. It's usually just a little warm for snow but nevertheless the wet,cold wind slices through. In...

I'm new around here. Hoping I can learn some new tricks and maybe share a few of my own.
