Hi there :)

Hi, I'm Megan,
I live in Wales and the 'Lady friend' as he keeps putting it of Luu89
I love foraging for food and getting my hands on anything nature provides me.
All in all me and Luu89 make a pretty good team.

Ah ok, had a look at the bahco laplander folding saw yet? It seems to be the majorities favourite one..if that matters to you that is.

My old man has a few Bahco things, being a builder

They're of a pretty decent quality, didn't realise they made a folding saw too... I know what's on my birthday list

 

[crowberry92]

Looks pretty sweet! Thanks

haha! I've heard pretty much good things about it and I think Mr.Mears uses one so it's gotta be pretty good. Do you guys (Luu89 and crowberry92) have much kit atm?

 

[Luu89]

Oh lord, where to start? lol
As for sleeping we have;
A Coleman Rock Springs 3 Tent, A highlander basha in dpm (soon to be a DD XL), double down filled sleeping bag (ya know, for that cozy feelin' ), sheepskins for that luxurious feel , some other bits and bobs that i forget now lol
As for fire, I have a ferro-rod/Firestick/one of the other gazzilion names for it, I just havent figured out how to do it properly yet... I'm getting there though
Tools I have a BuckLite Max, which I've found to be pretty decent for the money, a carbon steel Bolo Machete for trimming veg etc, and a 1.5lb hand axe I bought from clas ohlsen, which after a bit of work on teh profile, I've manged to get pretty usable I must say , all of which are kept tidy on a DC4.
Pretty much all the usual, lanterns, gas burner/micro stove, cooking set inside a billy can... lol

 

[crowberry92]

Dont forget my lovely knew folding knife! Which I want from you Mr!

 

[Luu89]

Oh, sorry lol

And an Opinel No9 Carbone... Which was origianlly intended as a prezzie, but I have sort of fallen in love with it

Hello & welcome to the forum.

The laplander is a good saw, but quite expensive. TBH, if you have a look in your local garden center for a "pruning saw", you will pick something similar up for about a tenner

Quite lot of gear then, do you get out much? what do you consider a good night out?

Hmm, I saw a few the other day in Leeks, was very interested but wanted to get some reviews first

 

[crowberry92]

Well a good night out for us is huddling under a tarp with some marshmallows over a big fire. lol
We go wild camping as much as we can last time we went was in february, there was frost on the ground but it didnt stop us from washing in the river!

 

[Luu89]

Well, we have pretty much all we need, now it's just a case of reviewing and refining our needs now I suppose.

A good night out, well that would have to be sitting in some woodland, a nice fire, some marshmallows, star gazing and guessing animal noises. Sounds about perfect to me

We haven't been out all that much for a while now, but hoping to get the most out of this spring/summer

Going to have to find some decent woodland near to home to get out on more overnighters and weekenders.

Cardiff or Aberystwyth, either one would do lol

I got a Wilkinson Sword one with a ten year guarantee. They have two rows of teeth, so it cuts on both the fore & back stroke = half the cutting time & effort. The downside is it's just a bit bigger & heavier than the laplander.
