    Sooo I snapped the tip off

    I snapped the tip off of my Mora clipper *oops*.. I'm not going to tell you how I did it because you'll then all tell me off for bad knife behaviour! But basically I was wondering how to correct that - I've read the tutorials etc but they seem to cover only everyday sharpening - not when there's...

    Hi everyone, After weeks of scouring my farm for any birch or lime to no avail, I've just found out that we have a local woods (which I never knew, even though I've lived right next to it for 16 years..), and that it has things like maple, lime, birch, hawthorn.. stuff like that: woop woop! So...

    I'm looking to buy a 3m x 3m tarp for wild camping on Dartmoor, Lake district and Scotland - do you guys have any suggestions for a cheap but good one?

    Dartmoor

    Hi, Me and a friend have decided to go over to Dartmoor for a bit of wild camping by night and bouldering by day at Easter, since am I right in thinking this is the only place where you can camp not in a campsite around here? So basically I was just wondering for anyone who's done the same...

    Birch or alder?

    Is this Jew's ear?

    I was on a walk yesterday, and I came across an unknown fungus. I didn't think I'd have any hope of identifying it, but I came across a picture of Jew's ear and it looks quite similar. Here is the picture I took: I'm not sure if that's an elder on the floor, but there are loads of elders...

    Drying wood

    Hi. I've been exploring our farm recently, (which unfortunately has no woodland) and I've found an elder (I think - the one with the pithy interior that can be hollowed out) tree which I thought I could use for my spindle for a bow drill (I've heard it's good for that?), but it's been raining...

    Trying to start bushcraft

    Hi - I'm pretty new to bushcraft, and I want to start! I've been looking at the Woodsmoke junior woodlander course as a starting point (unfortunately I have to wait a year to be 18, so most courses aren't available to me) but I really want to bring a friend, which is my problem, as most girls...
