Cheers mate! Pack sounds great- they are an excellent company to deal with- I received the basket & pack within seven days of ordering! A very pleasant surprise for me. The knives are great- Joel's made a lovely piece of kit there and I'm a big fan of it- I did use mine a lot to butcher a deer a week or two back- the knife was a joy to use
.
Nice looking kit
I am a bit envious of some of it; other bits...well they are inspiring me to get the design kit out again and make some of my own clones!
My kit when I was your age was "industrial" but functional - I hope you know how lucky you are to have such sweet kit and use it to the full!

Cheers John! You always make great stuff- nice to say it's personal to you too as you've made it. And I know I'm one lucky little sod- and I never forget it!
What a stunning selection of kit and well displayed, plus I do enjoy your out and about posts and seeing it in use.
I wish I had come in to bushcrafting when I was your age, but back then I spent thousands on computers and gaming. If I knew then what I know now I am sure I would have kit list much like yours.
Plus there is nothing wrong with being proud of what you own and showing it off
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Cam, well after looking at the kit and knowing how well you set up a camp all I can say is "Can I come too?" I've watched your kit grow and know that it's not that of a spoilt lad, and as such you look after it and cherish it; hey we've talked about the joy of polishing before and I know you're another weirdo like me who loves doing it. Sounds like a cliché from someone of my age but I wish that more folk your age were like yourself. I was talking to some of the parents about the amount of wild raspberries and brambles around the local school. (they wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes when I was a kid) but even though it's a rural area the kids are told never to pick wild fruit as it may be dangerous. Heck it was a free feed as far as we were concerned.
Beautiful kit, carefully chosen and meticulously looked after, you and it would be a credit whatever age you were.
(Does that get me a free ticket to the winter camp?
)
Great post mate,
GB.

Nice pictures of the kit display! Keep doing what you do, Cameron. I enjoy reading about your awesome adventures, young friend. If anyone has 'Bushcrafting Spirit' it is most certainly you!
I bet there are plenty on here that wish they spent there money on kit like that when they were younger! It'll last, and you seem to have skipped the nylon ninja phase most people who have the internet at that age go through. When you think of it, you've not spent too much at all on something you like and seem to do often.
It's no different to any other hobby. If you were getting started in deer stalking, for example, and were buying brand new you'd end up spending the same amount very quickly.
I'm intrigued to hear your experience of what appears to be a GB hunter's axe?

Cheers mate! And I completely agree with you
.Yep it is - I do love it though I've not had it long. Really nice bit of kit, it has a profile that to me would lend itself well for chopping wrist thick bits of wood (obviously you could go larger or smaller etc) but it just seems to do that well. It's much like a big hatchet really. It splits but it's obviously no maul but it can handle the small stuff well enough. As I said I've not had it long but first impressions are good. I love the circular stippling on the wood at the bottom of the handle for grip- would be useful for chopping wood in the wet. Haven't had a chance to use polished poll yet but I hope too (would've been handy a few weeks before when I actually butchered the deer!). But yeah I'm really liking it- a nice sized tool for an general camp axe
.
Cracking turnout, Cam.
Can't knock your choices.
Cheers Ian! Especially that tarp, tis a good'un
!Thanks. I like the look of the handle and the size of the head. I like longer handles on smaller heads, it seems to work well for what I want. The rounded poll I could take it or leave it. On the size of game we'd be skinning in this part of the world I wouldn't see it as being much benefit. Once you have it going ,your hands are all you need.
The only other thing I'd ask, but shouldn't, is how much did the blanket set you back! :O
