Guys,
Watch out in Scotland,
On the 26th of Feb, i was stopped in the Forests just out of a town called Turriff in Aberdeenshire,
In my pack which was secured and locked away in the side pocket was a Survival Knife, and in my main pack was my GFB, i was hauled in for carrying offensive weapons, even though i was in a wooded area, the reason i was stopped, i was seen in the woods, and the cops wanted to make sure i wasnt a poacher.
The next thing they are asking if i have a knife on me, i said aye i do and it is in my pack out of sight so folks dont get worried,
Well next thing i am cuffed and hauled off to the Police station where my pack was searched, my GFB, Survival knife, shapening stone were all taken from me, then the S@*s charged me with carrying offensive weapons in public.
So now i cant have a knife for doing bushcraft, nor can i have my axe, or any other edged weapon with me,
Basically i am not allowed to have any edged weapon on me, and the have stuffed my bushcrafting up the ****.

You have my sympathy, I hope you get your tools back.
