    Solar Eclipse

    I used the ‘approved by idiots” cider bottle method. It was eerie how all the birds and animals went silent. Followed by a rush of crows and pigeons panicking to get into the woods to roost as they thought they were late. Then the blackbirds making their night time clucking.

    This is a nice little knife by Alan Wood and readily available sub £98. Even less with BcUK discount from Heinnie. Comes in orange or forest green too. Kydex sheath is offered as an option.

    Can you help me choose a small multipurpose camp knife?

    You might have a problem there. They’ve not been made for some time, and when they were, there were problems in getting them. You do see them pop up occasionally on the FB groups and I think even here. But don’t hold your breath.

    New Mora Farnas

    It’s funny. I was agreeing with everyone that you’re not very likely to cut yourself doing woodwork if you’ve not got a guard on a knife like this. Then last night. I did just that. I’d finished cutting and was holding the knife vertically, tip up to examine my work. Just as I was about to...

    The perfect "Two Knife" bushcraft set

    Brilliant. Pops is living just outside of Reading now as she’s doing her masters at the uni. I went down with her on Sunday to sort some things out. We rented a small house for her for the five years. And it’s brimming with all my stuff. I can’t even begin to tell you what she’s liberated. It...

    The Elusive “One Knife” for Bushcraft…?

    It’s not so much about the knife. But the person using it. Some people can do most tasks with a large axe or bill hook they’re very familiar with. Familiarity is key.

    What Droppings?

    Well the bucks are in season. And they are a bit tasty.

    What Droppings?

    They will be drastically expanding territory due to the dry weather and searching for green food. Same can be said for munti though. But by me, where we have a large amount of munti, they do seem to have declined slightly and more roe are present these last few weeks, where munti sightings...
