I know this is a really, really old thread but I felt I had to comment. I came across the thread while looking to get another of these. It's a fantastic bit of kit if you use it in the way it's meant to be used (or maybe I mean how I reckon it's meant to be used). It rips metal off things, and...

I lean towards functional in an aesthetically pleasing way. I've never put a handle on anything before (apart from a set of screwdrivers I made while a trainee mechanical engineer many years ago) so while I have some skills, it won't take much to reach (and hopefully extend) my limits. The...

Hi Xunil, Thanks for the reply. I hadn't thought of rawhide as an alternative. As I said in my original post, the sword we get is a Hallstatt C - here's a picture from the web site of the place we're going to:

Thanks Nathan, Thanks for the quick reply - I'll get in touch with him, it looks like a very interesting site. Cheers, Ian

I apologise if this isn't a valid subject for here, but I feel sure that the skills of the people here would be really useful for me and a couple of friends. I won't go into too much detail in case this thread gets deleted right from the start, but here's what I'd be really pleased to get...

I got one of them. Very good value, I thought. I wouldn't say they are well-made, but they are not badly made and seeing as how you get them sent from Hong Kong for £1.79, it's surprisingly OK.

Like a house, for example :) A house is only a permanent tent, and a tent is only an easy-to-carry debris shelter. My personal view it that bushcraft is knowing how to cope without these things if you are put in a position where you have to, not forcing yourself to start from scratch every...

Please don't put words in my mouth. I didn't say bushcrafters (or that I) don't need it, I said it is not any more relevant to bushcrafters than to many other groups of people. As for highjacking this thread, since the email to me was directly concerned with this thread, since the...

That is what I asked before. I am happy for the administrators to contact me about administration issues, I just don't want to receive advertising. I originally only asked how to turn off advertising emails, but other people seemed to have widened the scope, and since they have, where...

Why? Perhaps someone else would be interested in the answer (should anyone ever give one). All I asked was how to turn it off.

Just to be pedantic: - it was not to enhance my enjoyment of the web site - It did not help present content - it is not part of an interactive feature - it is not a newsletter (and there is no option to disable newsletters in my CP) - it has nothing to do with a prize draw or...

Is that what they mean by "Receive Email from Administrators"? I don't want to stop them contacting me if necessary, but I don't particularly want people trying to flog me stuff that they have no idea whether I need or not on the principle that if they send enough emails to enough people...

How do I stop bushcraftuk from sending me unsolicited emails (aka 'spam')?

I'll do it for you if you tell me what you need. If you want a good, free image package for Windows/Linux, then do a search for 'Gimp'. It's open source, so you can be sure there are no nasties in it. Ian

I wouldn't have thought of getting one if it wasn't for this thread. I quite like it. I don't understand why some people have something against titanium, as light as plastic and as strong as steel. What's the problem with that? Yes, it's more expensive than a plastic one or a steel one, but...

There's another 'original' here, plus a load more vids http://www.youclimb.de/

There's the Camino Francés 750-1000km of it is in Spain. There are refugios (bunk houses, but usually of a pretty good quality) for a few Euros - 8-ish with showers and maybe cooking facilities - all with volunteer wardens to keep it clean - it's a pilgrim route, but most people aren't...

3 in the morning here, and I've just managed to get the next version of a test web site working and uploaded. A quick beer, and then some sleep - about 5 hours then I have to get up and go to London. It's true - no peace for the wicked. Ian

It's very good! :naughty:

Turned up today - brilliant - thanks!
