I'm just about to have a family get together bushcraft event! It makes a change to set up camp for personal use these days. I taught a group about Wild Food this morning and now to put an end to a lovely day I am about to cook some homemade organic burgers and have the night off in a...

It's been too windy this year for most macro images and if its not windy its raining. But I did still get a few shots so I wanted to share them with you. I hope you like them. Hope you all have a nice weekend. Take care Kris

Has anyone seen any of these little chaps this year yet? Thanks Kris

It's been an odd year weather-wise and it seems to have had a heck of an impact of some of our native flora. The bluebells are at their best now in Essex but what are they like elsewhere? Primroses this year have been in flower several times, in fact I saw some in flower in December! Kris

I have some gear up for grabs, but classifieds won't let me in. Do we need to sign up for somthing else for it to work? Kris

Hi, Does anyone know how much one of these is worth? I can't find info anywhere, and I have one to sell. As far as I know its never been used but I can't find the box. It was quite expensive new and was often used by John Wilson on TV. I have lots of bits I may put under the classifieds on...

We had a heck of downpour yesterday, with thunder a gales, but it only lasted for a few minutes. But, today its quite sunny but a tad cold. What’s it like in other areas? I always seem to be asking about the weather lol. Have a very Happy Easter all. Kris

Whats your camera of choice to take with you on your bushcraft trips? Kris

As a kid all sorts of things could be found in my pocket! Usually bits of plants, twigs, tinder, mushrooms and general 'things'. Oh, and I would always come home with a stick, and I still do! Not much has changed with me. But was, or is, anyone else as bad as me? Today I have a bunch of...

I found some signs Otter in Essex recently. They have been on the increase for a while. I'm used to seeing them up North but it's always a nice surprise to find them this far South. Has anyone else had the pleasure of noticing an increase? Kris

It is here. I have seen daffs and primroses out now since late December in some places! Blackthorn already in full leaf too. It just doesn't feel right. I like the seasons to be seasons, but recently it all seems to become a blur. Kris

So have you?

Happy new year. I know the site will be full of these types of messages, but I need to get in early as I will be away for a bit. So, each and everyone of you have a good one! Best wishes Kris

We had a heavy frost this morning, only the second good one of the year, always gives me a buzz. Was it the same elsewhere? Kris

Seems to be a real cold snap at the moment, is this the case where you are? Kris

Ok, im almost red in the face with rage from this so called advanced windows system! Shall I complain and go back to XP or this just a wonky copy I have? It keeps freezing, files vanishing and all sorts of other things! Kris

It just started here (down South at the mo). Mind you we need it!. Kris

I asked this over at BB the other day so thought I would ask you guys too. I know a fair few people who own and use this knife for bushcraft. But let’s be honest, it’s no bushcraft knife, simply a glorified Rambo style knife with a full tang. I was just wondering what the...

OK, so the general opinion in bushcraft seems to be that folders (I mean folding knives) are no good, so do you carry one? I have to say I always carry a BUCK knife as I find them better for small jobs, especially when foraging :) I know we can't compare a fixed blade with a...

The strangest thing you have ever had in your pocket must now be revealed! While bushcrafting over the years I have had all kinds in there, such as rotting fungi, but I have never been able to top that of this guy that decided to drop by while I was doing a spot of fishing once. He was as...
