I reckon it's only natural to be a little nervous the first few times.
I know I was.
But I remember the psychological shift when I realised that I was the nutter in the dark with a knife that other...

Come on, let's have a bushcraft buffet!
I'll do the hot dogs...

What are you bringing?

A while ago I had a dirty bag that needed cleaning.
What I did was put it in the bath with a bit of washing powder. Let it soak, rinse out, and hang it out to dry.
Came out fine.
I read so many...

I just tried to reply but it said you'd exceeded your storage quota and can't reply.

Don't think of it as 'lost' so much as 'set free'.
Now the little chap is scampering about the wide outdoors, having fun and adventures.
He'll unfurl his little (and let'e be honest here, bloody...

Is it just me, or are 58 bottles getting smaller?
I always knew the Webtex one was small, but I thought the BCB ones were supposed to be legit.
I have an Osprey one that is a nice snug fit inside a...

I have a three day weekend this weekend and since I've also been left to fend for myself I thought I would set myself a little challenge to keep me from committing mischief and getting a jolly good...

I keep my mess kit in a drawstring pouch.
Try to multi-role your kit. For example, if you're just having a brew up then use a metal mug and boil the water in it rather than a separate kettle/pot for...

I'd also strongly suggest you give it at least another month (ideally two) before collecting - summer months are their breeding season so they should be allowed the chance for a legover (or...

Go out at low tide. That's your best bet.
If you leave it too late it may be that gulls and other waders have had them.
I take it you are looking on sandy beaches?
If there are thousands of shells...

Woody, I just tried to PM you but I got a message saying your inbox is full.
You'll need to clear some space.
My message wasn't important - just to acknowledge you PM.

That's the risk with bushcraft - you run a very real danger of encountering people who refer to 'shrooms'.

Just out for a stroll at the weekend and there were loads of different fungi out.

Job done.
I did a bit of Googling on the interwebatron to see what others had to say and the common advice (bar using a specialist bit of machinery I don't have) was to fill it with sand and bend...

Lovely picture - there' nothing like a great sunset or sunrise to help you understand the world.



Turn your camera 90 degrees.

Need some advice from any metal workers here.
I want to put a 90 degree bend in a length of aluminium pipe. It's about index finger diameter.

What's the best way?

Should I get it red hot...

That's an interesting idea - using a hammcok as an underblanket for your...er...hammock.
I suppose you could go and buy a dead cheapy for the purpose since it would be taking any weight.
Did you...
