Dont think my flip flops and "All Hail The BBQ King!" apron would go down too well :rolleyes: but I know what you mean about the bushcraft "uniform" LOL...Speaking of uniforms I have to put mine on every morning so the choice is taken away. I usually wear a HH vest with a Norgie but I...

So as the title says I'm in a slight dilema here and would love some input from you guys. I have looked at soooo many combinations I cannot see the wood for the trees. I've been fortunate enough to bag myself a spot on RM's Journeyman course in Aug/Sept this year and I'm looking at...

Well done. So that's four of us out of the fourteen.

Toddle along to the nearest bait shop and get yerself some frozen squid. I go crab fishing on the North Kent Coast (Whitstable, Herne Bay, etc) and the little devils go crazy for it. The record, in my family, so far is 13 on the line at the same time held by my youngest of six although we had to...

Wouldn't want it any other way ;) I'm already shopping for bits and pieces :lmao: boys and their toys eh ? Now I REALLY DO have a legitimate reason to splash some cash on something 'crafty. Hmmm, decisions decisions....

I'm going on 29/08/2010 to 04/09/2010. Apparently there was only a few places left by mid afternoon.

Took delivery of my "dangler" last week...phew... what a piece of work. Dougster tried out his new finishing style to my sheath ;) and it's made it into a beauty. Hope the piccies do it justice....

Doing a bit of Geocaching today I came across this article... http://www.aboveandbeyond.co.uk/shop/Potential-CRoW-Restrictions-p-1-c-1161.html Not sure if anyone is aware of this ?

I've just got back this Sunday from the Fundamental Bushcraft and it was Nettie who ran the show along with 4 other instructors.

Bought one of these for myself at the end of last years camping season... Mongoose Tent Packs down small and light and there is plenty of room inside for me and my kit. Haven't tried it outdoors yet, only pitched it so far on the inhospitible north face of my living room :rolleyes:

One skill I would love to master would be the bow drill. From various lists of suitable woods for drill, hearth, bow and block I have only the following trees in the woods where I practice.... Chestnut, Birch, Oak, Hazel and Scots Pine (there are only two Holly trees but the thought of relieving...
