Thanks OKBushcraft. Have to pick some up next time I'm in town. And yeah, have to be careful about asking around for meth's on this side of the pond.

Well, learned something new today. Went out and picked up some regular isopropyl alcohol. As I'm sure most of you guys are aware, this type of alcohol does not work in a jetted stove like this. ...

Made my first stove today, then realized we did not have any alcohol to test it out. Heading to the store to pick up some stuff and grab some alcohol. Not sure if they sell this meths stuff that you...

Good looking blade there. Looks like it's waiting for a trip to the bush. In my opinion that is the best way to figure out what changes you should make to future knives. Go out and use it, see how...

Oh ok. Hope to see some pics when he finishes up the handle and all.

Nice idea on the sheath system. The blade looks great as well. Question on that bottle opener though, looking at the pic it seems as if it would catch your hand a bit.

Yeah she loves it. Only problem was that I had to go back and make the handle a bit smaller and ended up getting into the epoxy, that's that little dark spot just below the bolster. Not to bad...

Well, Mrs. Swamprat has been after me to make a knife for her so I fixed this one up for her for Christmas. It is made from an old file that I picked up somewhere. It was pretty heavily rusted and...

So, just curious. How do you guy's prefer to eat them? Around here we usually boil them with some heavy seasoning such as Old Bay and cayenne pepper. I've also used the tail meat to make crawfish...

Very nice work. I've got to get started on a kuksa soon. Just trying to find that right piece of wood.

Very nice work fish. Looks like you could also use it for carrying behind your back. If I can find the cord to plug my camera up to the laptop, I will post some pics of a crossdraw that I had made...

Just one more reason for me to wish that birch grew around here. you guys get all the good stuff.

oh ok. misunderstood then. I'm from the southern US. Not quite in what we call Cajun country, but close enough to enjoy a good crawfish boil every now and then. Over here, you just have to find a...

I'm assuming from the way some of the posts read, that you guys do not eat crayfish, or crawfish as we call them. Are you just using them for bait? If so it does not seem to be worth the trouble of...

Those are some really good examples of kuksas. I have really been wanting to make one myself, thanks for the links to the tutorials. Most of the ones I had turned up in my google searches were not...

Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely looks like I may get one of these for my son's birthday. He has proven to be rather safe with his fixed blade, so I think he should handle a locking...

I have to agree with Mike and Ashley, though most all the reasons stated can apply at times. There is just something about being out in nature that is so peaceful. You can just forget about all the...

It can be a pain getting a fire started around here sometimes. We have rather high humidity. I try when possible to start a fire with my firesteel and what I can find laying around. Something I...

That wouldn't happen to be William Scagel would it? If so that knife may be worth quite a bit. My current everyday carry is a SAK issue knife. Based off of the original that was issued to Swiss...

I've never tried an Opinel before. What do you guys think of their performance? Also, it is my understanding that the ring turns to lock the blade open. Have you guys ever had any trouble with it...

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

Hello from the USA. Ran across this site looking at a review on gransfors hatchet. I've been teaching myself bushcraft for a while now and I am also a learning bladesmith. Always looking to learn...
