There seems to be a lot of us smokers who are using the ecigs to get off the stinkies pretty succesfully :) Especially the die-hard (no pun intended) 20yr + folk who have found it the only way. I'm trying to get myself sorted for 5 day + durations in the woods/ at festies using a combination of...

I often find I rush a message because I can't save it as a draft... do these boards support a draft function which could be enabled? It shouldn't take up too much bandwidth... or would it ;)

I've been looking to see what I need to do to sell some sewing machineson here- I want to offer the cream of the crop to the 'family' first before I Bay them- and chanced on this helpful and informative page in my search which seems to be called 'bla test' ;) Its no biggy but it would be nice...

I ought to apologise to all my forum freinds for spamming their profile feeds with uploading pics to an album on here, but I'm delighted with my new skill :) I've got some questions though.... it doesn't show all the pictures that were uploaded and I can't find or edit the ones that don't show...

I can't resist a work party so when I saw there was one up in NE Derbyshire, I decided the time had come for a neighbourly visit from England (Mids) :) The forecast was decidedly balmy so I combined work with pleasure and packed up the latest stock for a longer than usual test drive. They don't...

I fancied getting back to my Turbogirl roots in combination with the woodland fun I've found here so thought I'd suss out the local off road club for a combination bimble today :) I even saved a flock of sheep wandering in the road on the way, SuperTurbo to the rescue, don't hold back on the...

Another brilliant meet :cool: I had some splendid help and expert guidance setting up my laavu project for its first experimental pitch from the most kind and knowledgable Martin.... thank you sooooo much, it was a huge help and I just hope I can remember all the fabulous ideas to include in...

Just waved a sad farewell to my old recycled tipi and decided I need to bring its spirit forward into a laavu :) I learned a LOT from making the tipi, much of which seems pretty symbiotic with the laavu design although I think the designs can amalgramate to be a 'best of both worlds' hybrid to...

It was a quiet meet in many ways, with many absent freinds this time and dotted through the beautiful autumnal woodland :) Saturday morning dawned clear and crisp, with the SSSI rhymed with a frost... gorgeous :) There was lots of lovely leatherwork to drool over- here's Lee's ipad case/...

I thought this slideshow of his experience was truly wonderful :) What a fabulous old boy and what a great thing to pack your life with!

Weekends in our beautiful Northwood don't come much more diverse than this one- it was a priviledge to be invited along to share with Gordons' families and freinds for their 100 year anniversary of custodianship of this beautiful area with its diverse and historical woodland :) Martin shone up...

Luckily for you readers, I'm shattered enough to shut up for once ;) There's lovely mushroom rings where we're set up... And the woods are alive with flora :) Digitalis from underneath.... Ohhh, while I'm banging on about flora, I spotted this beauty in our local woods in SE Leic too, so...

Bit off topic for bushcraft, maybe, but I know you folk have wide ranging interests and this is a blast from Britains industrial past that isn't to be missed if you've got the wanderlust on you this weekend! Here's the events and prices page- its part of the Leicester Vintage Festival. The...

Well, Sasquatch has me all fired up with his wonderful blade (seen on his thread 'Finally One For Me' but even more gorgeus in real ife!). I've been doing a thread takeover so thought I'd be better starting one myself :) The basic requirement is for a fairly deep etch on a trail hawk hatchet...

My 'Mrs Doyle' Weekend went wonderfully... here's some of my camp-based pictures as I was having a wonderful time making tea and biscuits mostly! I was delighted with my tarpmaking development touches- shock cord pull outs was massively helpful for increasing room, DIY seam sealant not so...

I've made an auspicious start and thought I'd post my results so I can look back eventually- hopefully- and learn a bit :) I've got a fabulous knifemaking guru who encourages me and no doubt will kick my butt, Canadian stylee, when I mess up through stupidity- which WILL happen eventually, I...

There's some things which are uniquely female situations in a woodland/ bushcraft/ survival context and a few of us, recognising that our ribald comments on some of the more feminine quandries might cause discomfort for you lads, have started a Facebook group, Sisterhood of the Bush. Drop on by...

I'd say it was my first ever knifey project but as I was mostly looking on and learning, it's more my respected Elders :rolleyes: We're from a genetic line of knife makers (J Nowill & Sons) but we're the impoverished end of the line and never played knifeys ourselves although he's definately...

Gosh, what an amazing weekend, it was more like a mild May weekend than March! Youngling and I had a fabulous time, thank you so much to Phil for organising another great meet and to all the folk there who make it the unique and fabulous space in time that it is- freinds old and new to be met...

Brilliant weekend, as always! Here's my pictoral offerings :) My Mam told me never to trust a smiling man :) A slightly more reflective moment with Young Martin... Preparation of the delicious cinnamon sugar bannock :) And here it is... it didn't last long :) Friday night around the...
