Just had to swallow a bitter and unexpected pill. £20.50 VAT and £8 handling on a £105 second hand purchase sent from the Republic of Ireland. I suppose I should have known, but I have never bought second hand from outside the UK before and I wasn't paying attention to where the sale was...

The use of manually approved posts for new members has been effective at eliminating the spam posting we once saw. What we see now is accounts created where the spam advertising is contained in the About section. We tend to be pretty efficient at spam cleaning those accounts. Often the...

A while back I sent some wood to the US for stabilising, and some of it for dying first. It was waiting for me when I got back from the Moot and I have been gradually cleaning up some of the blocks. Thought I would share. I can't wait to get to work on some of these! These are all spalted...

Are there any people or small companies in the UK who will make things like mesh bug nests for lavvus and other floorless shelters / tarps? I know of Bearpaw Wilderness Designs in the US, not sure if there are even any others like them over there.

I have a week booked off work next week. I was thinking about going up to the Lake District to camp, use my new 2-man tipi and climb some mountains. Travel up on Sunday, back on Friday. Been looking at the weather and it is looking pretty grim. Lots of rain, rain almost every day during the...

My possibly biased observation has been that there are quit a lot of left handed folk interested in bushcraft, relative to the national average. I am wondering if this is so. Poll explanation, left or right is self explanatory, ambidextrous for doing whatever task equally well with either...

Finished these over the weekend for my dad’s Christmas gifts. Need to make sheathes to protect the blades in his kitchen cutlery drawer. AEB-L is impressive in thin edges. Black paper Micarta bolster and stabilised curly California redwood from the arboretum my mum has volunteered in for over...

It seems to me that in the last few months sales on the forum for all sorts of stuff have been slower than usual. There seem to be more than usual threads where folk are bumping and lowering prices and still getting no interest. I used to reckon that a new-ish item in very good condition could...

I know this is an old topic, but I think the membership has changed a little since it was last discussed. What do folks prefer for the handles of their knives, and their bushcraft/outdoors knives in particular? If you had a choice between phenolic laminate (Micarta or Tufnol) and a figured...

Coote 2 x 72 inch belt grinder for sale £600 - Collection only but I am willing to discuss meeting you part way depending on where you are. Just noticed, I didn't fit the screws that hold the knife rest for the contact wheel in these pictures. I do have them! Features and included: 10 inch...

A recent thread about strop boards and strop hardness got me thinking about the differences between stropping, lapping and honing and whether there were any objective characteristics that would help to define and describe where one might end and another begin. This brought me to ...

Hello folks, I am sorry to be adding this rather down beat message to our usually cheerful Introduction page. This community has long been a friendly and open place. We recently had some fraudsters join to take advantage of that trust. Two definitely defrauded members, and a third appeared...

In recent weeks the forum has attracted scammers. Be on the look out. We were informed of the situation by one of the members who lost money to one of them and reported it. Subsequently, two more highly suspect accounts were highlighted, one was banned in the middle of a PM conversation...
