Hi guys, I'm looking for a large pack, something I can chuck all my kit in and lob on the train, coach whatever. Ideally it'd weigh something like 1 or 2 kilo's but I realise I may have to shell out for something like that. Has anyone had any experience of using any of the following...

Hi Guys, Was wondering if anyone has any experience with trousers like these? http://www.genuinearmysurplus.co.uk/pages/products/detail/rowid=804 Warm? seen any black ones? approximate weight? I thought about using them to replace a sleeping bag, in combination with a warm jacket and...

Hey chaps, Myself and a friend are planning to build a cabin on the north devon coast. Being a pebble beach it doesn't lend itself well to bivvying and a small cabin would be much more confortable for extended periods of time. The place is ideal for fishing, shrimping and searching for...

Hello all fellow bushcrafters. :) The British Isles today has a very varied terrain and climate. If given the chance where would you prefer to live from the land, assuming the law did not apply. Would you chose a place with varied plants to forage, an abundance of animals to hunt...

I'm sure that we all agree that the British Isles are far too heavily populated to allow far any 'real' wilderness areas but where do you think are the best of them? 'Wilderness' can be interpreted in a number of different ways, what do you think of when you think of 'wilderness' and what do...

Happy Birthday Tant. Have a good one. :o): Enjoy :biggthump

I was wonderin' how to post comments in other peoples blogs? Has this option been taken away now? :?: Cheers :You_Rock_

Hello all. :wink: Having been totally inspired by Mark's moccasins I was wondering if I could make a crude bushshirt, kinda like the swanndri ! :?: I was thinking about using an army surplus blanket. Are they made of pure wool and how thick are they? Thick enough? I doubt very much...

I'm not getting spiritual here, just traditional. :wink: I watched ray Mears the other day and he carved a wolves head into a type of old canadian cod lure to bring him good fishing. Was just wondering what the 'Gods' of fire, water, hunting etc were in ancient beliefs? What cultures were...

How do you tan your rabbit skins? :?: I would like to hear some easy methods with readily available materials. I think Paganwolf touched on it in a previous thread, off topic, using handcream or something :shock: a long long time ago. Do you have to file down the skin and what if there...

I thought this would be a good one to do, saw it on BB a while ago. How old(ish) are you? The poll results may give a good idea as to the typical age range of the members and if enough knowledge is being passed on to the younger generation :super: . I predict :-) that will not be that many...

Right, Time for everyone to show off! Where does you practice your bushcraft skills? :?: Do you have a wood all of your own? Perhaps you know someone who has a wood? Or do you 'take the opportunity' when you are out for a walk in the countryside to do a bit of bushcraft? :naughty...

Alright, I was just wondering if there is anyway to 'save'? threads or posts that i think i may find useful? Sort of a quick link back to it. Like reviews or threads containing links to good sites. :?: i hope you can see what im getting at? Does anyone else have this problem ? How do...

I was just wondering if anyone could enlighten me on the bewildering variety of blade grinds that are available on different knives. There seem to be so many and some of the same grinds have different names. The names against the profiles would be good and which ones are reccomended for...

Hello. I have been here a while now, maybe you recognise me (Do you?), but realised I didn't introduce myself. I moved over from british blades which I joined when I was making my own knife but found myself on the bushcraft section alot. I have liked bushcraft since i was quite young but did...
