Ooh - does anyone know if Craghoppers are going to make a BG seal skin survival vest and thong?

No? Not even for the American market?

He uses it in the new series.

Nice comment on Youtube, Red!

His royal chubbyness does exactly the same thing as well endorsing products and selling them through his website, and who is to knock any of the two of them for doing so!!

Yeah, but RM always sells high quality gear - vastly over priced quality gear

Was browsing tamarack outdoors last night and this is £90 nearly dropped me brew!

 

[mountainm]

It reminds me of my first sheath knife I had when I was twelve. A black painted green plastic handled affair with a chisel edge and a serated back. Very action man. I soon learnt it wasn't a good knife.

If ya want a "survival knife" that works... I highly recommend the Dajo. I did a review here

[Samon]

hahah yeah either that,...

or ,...(for better TV,....

he,s drinking Dodo,s weewee and making a coat out of his girlfriend

haha!

he'd be mocked far less if he demonstrated genuine survival skills, the army taught ones maybe.

Mears has made a profitable franchise for himself..he popularised 'bushcraft' and I think might have even came up with the name (according to his earlier shows he mentioned that), but he doesn't mutilate the bodies of anything alive in his path just for the camera.

Have to agree with that.

You know, I was wondering about the earliest mention of the word Bushcraft in a book today? 1967 in Don't Die in the Bundu is the earliest I have on the shelf. any one got anything earlier?

 

[ex-member Raikey]

yeah, i saw the lizard one in the desert repeated t other night,..

ok he used a proper knife to do it ,..but just cut its head off and ate it?....eh?...

ah that's interesting, I don't recall hearing it before Mears though. Why don't many of 'bushcraft' enthusiasts here make baskets and stuff like that? seems like all anyone does is make spoons..

 

[Retired Member southey]

You'll find lots of handy crafts and good stuff in the diy section chap, spoons/cup/bowls are a great way to practise newly learnt carving skills so it's nice to let others see and get a bit of inspiration, after all how doesn't enjoy a good bit of spoon-age?

baskets and "stuff" ,...think about what "stuff" youd like to see , and use the search function,...i bet you a fiver you'll find a thread of someone doing it,..

Seriously tho,...you need to look before sweeping statements like that,...

haha, I don't mean it negatively though, it's just I check the new threads and don't see much of that stuff.

 

[brancho]

well as a Scout I wont be buying one these bur what surprised me was how much Gerber was chugging out with BG logo

Look HERE I am not a fan of Gerber kit or serations

 

[Shinken]

hmmmm, reading internet forums often reminds me how easy it is to knock someone.

Fortunataly we have free choice and we dont have to watch it.

As for the knife, it looks like it cuts okay. I am sure i could to camping and make it do all ill need it to do. Of course i would choose a more effecient tool. But hey ho

Probably a better vid to see the actual knife

I make baskets - p*ss poor ones as yet...but I am getting better

Unlike BG branded kit - the Bayley knife though fugly was a real knife by all acounts while the Gerber seems to fall apart in use from all accounts!
