The bushcraft cave?

[Corso]

Anyone know them? can't find an address on their website but the suggestion is they are in the UK

I ask because I was after a flint and steel set and this one looked good

https://www.thebushcraftcave.com/product/tbc-hand-forged-firesteel/

but oddly although they say they are local made the pics are from here

or more precisely from milius sales thread here

The bushcraft cave site credit Andy Black with the creation of the strikers ~ and the link at the base of milius' posts is for Andy Black' etsy page

I see that makes some sense, except the 'local' blacksmith description

good kit mind I really like the one I have and was looking for another

The telephone no. comes up as Portsmouth/Southampton area....................

Indeed but no address though which is against distance selling regs

It's up near Borden, about a half hour drive from me. The address comes up on a Google search.

Indeed ~ the local does make it sound like he should be 'reasonably' local to the business. Especially given that neither of the other descriptions of the other Artisans include 'local' ;-) I have no idea where milius is originally from or where he's lived in the past but perhaps, at one time, he was 'local' to them


And yes, unless the regs have changed they are being a bit more than naughty! (though when I was operating an online business with no bricks and mortar shop it was a complete ache trying to explain to people who just turned up on spec that they couldn't come in and browse ... and there are sites out there which just grab online sellers home addresses and tout them as bricks and mortar/'real world' shop addresses ~ you're not contacted, let alone actually asked whether you want to opt in or out of their database . )
