A video put together with some old footage, it's not a tutorial just us preping some Pigeon for a stew in Dutch ovens. Warning: if you're not comfortable with animals being butchered then please browse elsewhere on the forum! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Op9C7eHmCug Matt, Martin...

hi Just wanted to post up a link to my new blog! I have started to really get into outdoor cooking and I have decided to blog about it. First post is a Mexican breakfast in a dutch oven, http://ashonthefire.typepad.com Hope you guys like it. Any comments welcome, also any pointers on...

I have just made a few birch whisks. They are quite simple to make. First peal the bark from a bunch (30 or so is about right) birch shoots (i.e. the small side-shoots only a year or so old) using a cleft stick. Then form them into two even bundles: Place them "end to end", with the bases...

I'm looking for a new set of pans (for one person tho often hungry) for hanging over a fire and standing on a honey stove. I'm wondering about the Mil-com set http://www.greenmanbushcraft.co.uk/outdoor-kitchen/mil-com-billy-can-nesting-set.htm Has anybody used them and if so are they any...

What's going in your bushcraft pancake? I think I'll have to extend pancake day to the weekend to give me a chance to forage, but there may be some local options. How about birch sap syrup?

I, for many years, used to use hexamine blocks with the cooking pot supported by 3-4 tent pegs. This, I found, saved me from carrying any excess weight and was wondering if anybody had tried something similar with meths stoves. I am looking at purchasing a Trangia meths stove and thought that by...

Hi, I have used Mangers Methylated Spirit for my coke can stove when bushcrafting in England. Was wondering if there is an cheaper alternative for that type of fuel. In Holland I pay 80 Euro cents for one litre of alcohol for my stove’s and Mangers is 3 Pounds for half a litre. Does any one...

Really good day on the Edible seashore course with Robin Harford of www.Eatweeds.co.uk. The sun was shining which is always good on a days coastal foraging. We started off on the beach and a few quick pushes of the shrimp net I made the night before, found some nice shrimps. There is only one...

last time out James boasted that his hobo stove would be quicker than Snozz's gas stove. This is the result; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1EK6D84d-c Snozz waited for James to get his stove fuelled and flaming before lighting his gas. Notice his lighter of choice. Usually lights it...

Last month my friend Matt bought me a Trangia Kit. Now that's the sort of thing a nice friend does. Another sort of thing that a nice friend does is buy me a Hilleberg Nallo tent. Just saying, Matt. Anyway, I've used propane, butane/propane, and naptha stoves - and built some pop can alcohol...
