    Water to go

    Not sure how many have come across this? [URL="https://www.watertogo.eu/"] Bought one a few months ago and have given it a bit of a bashing trying it out. Nowt to write home about really, but a cracking way of getting good clean water from most sources with little or no prep. First time I...

    Sharpening......

    I bought this kit some time ago and have never looked back. All the knives I have used it on are now scarily sharp. Watch the associated video's accompanying the page to get a good idea of how to use the kit...

    heavy metals in water filtration

    What about this? Seems to be a good short term "fix" for 99.9% of known contaminants?? https://www.watertogo.eu/

    Bushcraft show?

    I’m quite saddened to hear that RM thinks of Bushcrafters as “leatherhatters” or that he has little regard for Kit. Given that he inspired so many into appreciating the outdoors way of life and it’s various skills, I find his apparent attitude as somewhat belittling...

    Bushcraft show?

    It was the first show I’d been to, mainly because the Bushmoot is always a little too far and I usually end up on shift whenever it's on :( It wasn't bad, but a tad small, mainly a lot of stalls and few shows / exhibitions. I missed Ray Mears on the Saturday, but it wasn't a bad day, but...

    Bushcraft show?

    Hi, a polite request here for anyone who went to the recent bushcraft show a week or so ago? There was a stall, where a very nice chap was sharpening knives, who was also selling some very nice leatherwork. Does anyone know who he was or his company name? Not sure this can be answered, but...

    Just starting out - any recommended resources?

    As the other have said, get out there and have meetups with like minded people, but if thats not as easy as it sounds then this guy, Andrew Price is very knowledgable. Learn a few things from his site - http://www.azbushcraft.com/ it'll give you a good grounding when actually getting away from...

    Some very basic bushcraft camp questions

    Forgot to add, once you have a small light you can put a few Holly leaves on the fire to really get it going. Make sure it's dead and isn't green it will burn magnificently as it contains so much natural oils, even when it appears to have been on the ground for ages it'll burn beautifully.

    Some very basic bushcraft camp questions

    Most healthy trees are fine to stay under afaik. However, as someone has already mentioned don't camp under Beech trees. Their grain is very short and they can drop perfectly good limbs for no apparent reason at any time. For a good supply of tinder, I collect the lint that collects in our...

    What have you picked/planted today?

    All parts of brassicas are edible. Like with broccoli, I usually keep the stem, peel it and slice it like you would carrots and boil till tender, or eat raw if that you thang :)

    Which oil do you use

    Personally, I don't use any oils on the spoons I use and I tend to use most on a near daily fashion. I use them for mixing food in the pans, I wash them up in the sink after and I store them in a container on my kitchen top. Over time they wear down and I make new ones. Never oiled any of...

    Free Leather

    Apologies is this isn't the correct forum to offer this, but I know some of you are a dab hand at leather work. Sadly my mum has just died and upon clearing her house I came accross a massive bag of leather off cuts and a roll of think quality leather. All of it is free to anyone who wants it...
