Ok, so here is my 5 items minus my 1 litre of water...



I have a bow drill kit, nice and small to fit in to my pocket, Hazel drill and Sycamore hearth board, I also have some para cord for the bow, all the bits missing I will get from the site... I tried the set out just to make sure I can get an ember with this set... The 50p is for size reference...



The sardines are for food and the tin will be used to cook what I find about...



I like to keep my blades sharp that’s why I’m taking the diamond sharpener..



The good old faithful GB SFA, will be good to see how its works as a knife and axe..



And last thing is tinder, grass dried out from last year or before that even...



I’m happy to not eat I’m happy to get wet and cold, but my main effort is to get a fire going (if I can) with tinder from the site, and in the future to get a bow drill set made on site and use tinder from there too...

Hope to get some half decent pictures this time as I just got a new mobile with camera thingy ma-jig.....

Post pictures when I return people......

Regards.

Chris....

i have been told "you can go out, you can go out all weekend, every weekend" but as it was over text i dont know what the tone of this reply was :) to me thats a yes..

but what i think what she was truthfully thinking was "you can go out if you want to leave me here alone looking after OUR son, while you go have fun, and i stay in the house like i do every day of the year, you dont love us, you just love your bushcrafting, for all i care you can stay out all weekend you selfish A**Hole, you can go out evey weekend when i leave you which you will love cos you can spend more time in the woods wouldnt you!, NO YOU CANT GO OUT"

Think i already know the answer to this but here goes. What happens if your sheath has a fire steel loop which you always have it attached to.

Think im gonna give this one a go.

That's hard. Because it's illegal to light fires here I don't think a long fire would be on the books, I'd take a sleeping bag, maybe even a matt depending on how much loose brush there is to make into a bed. Or if I'm not in the hills maybe just a survival blanket. Knife is obvious for 3rd. Then it'd be the choice between a lighter/baccy and 1 item of food, or 2 items of food..

Maybe baccy should be a freebie if you take no lighter or papers ;)

out of intrest i will allow tobaco as a freebie, as you say with no lighter papers or matches, just because i want to see what you roll your fags in.....:)

also as fires are illegal for you i will allow a hobo style stove or hexy to cook on and brew up, again no matches or lighter, that sort of makes it fair.....;)

i hope to see what you come up with soon...

regadrs.

Bushcraft pipe a le style kochanski. Last time I carved the bowl but I fancy trying to do it with friction or with embers. Or maybe I could make some sort of natural materials bong lmao
