Flint for trade

[MadZ]

Hey

after talking to another forum member, i have found that some people may have trouble finding flint in there area, where i live there is an abundance of flint in all different sizes, colors etc

so to help the ones that might not be able to get any flint or only small pieces, i would like to offer some for trade, i cant justify selling it.

at current i have 19 pieces, some of these bits have already been agreed upon to trade, but as an example here is a picture



bare in mind it takes me about 5-7 hours in a single trip to gather the flint and to break it up from brick size bits down to smaller manageable bits, like in the photo

so if any one has anything they would like to trade then feel free to post a trade request, i dont mind what it is and we can come to an arrangement of how many pieces, sizes are going to be required for the desired trade item(s).

only thing i would ask is for postage to be paid on the larger bits of flint (brick size and above) depending on what items are being traded, as i would not want anyone to feel they have been ripped off, under/over traded etc, an as fair as possible policy.

this could be sorted out at the point of the trade where we are getting postage prices for our items.

I am selling/trading this/these item(s) as a private seller/trader and this sale/trade is in no way the responsibility of NaturalBushcraft.co.uk or any of its moderators. I promise to use this area to sell/trade unwanted kit, not to repeatedly list similar items in the pursuit of profit. I would like to add to this that i in no way intend to make profit from the flint i gather, but to receive items in trade for the time put into the gathering of the flint in a pursuit to help others that maybe in such locations that flint is not available.

pics available on request, sizes can be gathered to your requirements(time scale may vary on larger bits), please ask, international members are welcome to trade but please be aware of the laws and regulations that may be in place for certain items, also the cost of postage, just want to keep things as fair as possible.

hope this thread will be of some help to other members of this great community here at NBC

thanks

any other kit your after mate, that I could trade you?

[MadZ]

Hi, Shepherd

what size bits are you after?? anything in particular shape wise??

always after leather, para cord, anything really, if you had anything in mind you think might be worth a trade feel free to say what you got, very rarely would i turn things down, one thing i am on the look out for is large feathers (2 foot long), i would like to make an old school pen.

drop me a PM and we can go from there, if you like

thanks for the interest

Cheers

just a couple of small bits bud to have in my kit as another fire option.. large feathers? like pheasant feathers? I have hundreds of them.. could send you some of them regardless! ill have a look over my kit and see what I have to trade, have a ton of paracord too..

[MadZ]

they will do nicely, para cord is fine by me, every little helps as i'm using tent guy ropes at the moment for cordage, will arrange for the flint to be sent some time this week, when i send David's bits to him, i'll do yours too
