    Woodlore Knife Pro

    And I was taken back my the price of the Mora Bushcraft models...I love Ray but not so much his knife design. I much prefer one about 1/8 inch thick (not metric fluent) and of course, much less expensive. My present user is a Canteen Shop "woodcrafter" made by Blind Horse Knives. Influenced some...

    New Watch - Cheers Trunks.

    Hey Jonathan, great looking watch, I like the little transphibian dinosaur logo too :) Kind of a watch nut here, I used to have about 100 watches, sold some though. Ya see, my plan is to never run outta time!

    Where can I get a really rubbish knife?

    Try a Tom Brown Tracker knife, most useless knife I've ever seen on a course. More of an anchor for a small boat than a proper wilderness blade!

    What films have you watched recently?

    Not exactly a movie, but I really, really like the BBC/PBS series, Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. Everything about the program is interesting, entertaining and done with a uniqueness about it. First 6 are on Netflix and the latest are on the PBS website. I have to...

    Where can I find the fur ruff for an M90 ECWCS Gen1 jacket?

    I have the woodland ECWCS gen1 with a snap on ruff. I have to say that it is a well made piece except the fur is some synthetic fur. I found that it fits on my older OD Norrona Recon parka also, although I have not used it on there. The ruffs come in sizes like the jacket and should be matched...

    One for the swingers , M65 Hammock

    I have an M65 hammock which was issued to me. I used it in Panama years ago, while in the US Army and have used it on several trips since. It is very narrow, which is not a good thing. It is made to be used with a USGI poncho as the rainfly, the elastic toggles on the main lines are made to...

    How long have you been on the list.

    I was on the list for about 4 years when I received an email from the RM shop, that said I could pay and receive my knife.. So the list does work, the last I heard that by about 2010 the list was about 7 years long. I ended up declining my chance to get the Woodlore, it was just too much money...

    Old news: 2013. PO states "weapons" cannot be posted, shows pic of knife.

    The postal rates are beginning to make mail order shopping almost too expensive. If they pass that federal law so that all states collect sales tax, that is going to make online shopping obsolete. I try to give local businesses my purchases, but often the only place you can find something is...

    Nalgene 1 quart canteen

    I have been using the Nalgene canteens, or "Oasis" bottles for a few years now and I love them. There is very little plastic taste and they are a handy size and shape. I carry one often in an Australian canteen pouch, similar to the ones Ray Mears sells. They do indeed fit the Crusader Cup, I...

    Wild Jaguar in Arizona!

    Not I. I have heard they are way south, near the border areas, like the Jaguars. I never get down that way anymore. We used to do some training in southern Arizona when I was in the military reserves but I left in 1997. I've not been back. I see coyotes on my city street, usually very early in...

    Wild Jaguar in Arizona!

    Yep we have some jaguars in southern Arizona. I've not seen one but there are reports of them. It amazed me how many people are out in the wilderness areas near the Mexican border. Around Ft. Huachuca there are high mountains, pine forests and such, full of people camping out. They see Jaguars...

    Karrimor Sabre 35

    I have one, great pack, well thought out and well made. It is a bit short on my body but it is fine as long as I don't use the waist belt. I plan to buy another sometime, just because I like it so much. Not much I would change about it either, well done little pack.

    Tom Brown Tracker

    There are a few people that through some sheer persistance have managed to actually do some things with the TBT. It would take some persistance though. It is very awkward to handle, super heavy and not at all easy to cut things with. Whatever steel they are made from seems to easily dull to a...

    Temegami - Old/New?

    I like the look of the new model, the handle looks more professionally made and the notches on the top of the blade are gone. They did little except make placing the thumb on top of the blade was less than comfortable. It is bigger than I expected, not too big though. Thickness is perfect and...

    you too can learn to be BG

    Someone that I know had a friend that went to a Cody Lundin class, She said that she felt like Cody wanted everyone to wear a mirror around their necks so that Cody could admire himself when talking to them. I wonder if Bear issues mirrors with his Gerber survival harpoons?
