Hi Guys, I just read John Fennas post on his amazing shirt, which reminded me of 2 books I own (sorry I'm not selling) that might help some of you guys interested in learning how to design and make clothing. Both books are perfect for such projects though David Plattens is far better in my...

Hi all, Tried the search button looking for the best books to buy about bushcraft and outdoor living in the UK but came back with some error. Seems to be lots on surviving being shipwrecked, avalanches, hurricanes but what about something for us UK dwellers? So long and short is what...

Hey all, I was wondering if any of you might recommend some good bushcraft / wilderness books. I've read the RM books, Lofty books & Call of the Wild (which I really enjoyed) Thought some of you fine people would have some great reads. Look forward to hearing from you all. Nath
