I'm looking for a bow maker to run a couple of bow making courses here in norfolk. my employer has asked me to see if anyone on here would be interested in doing this. it would be over a few weekends and you would be paid of course. we already have bookings but our bow maker left our services at the end of last season and i'm not very clued up on bowmaking. GNAS certificates are preferred but not essential.

if you are genuinely interested please send me a pm i'll give you all the details.

cheers

On Tuesday I finally ordered a couple of the Mora Craftline HighQ Robust knives with the "30 Years of Bushcraft" special edition engraving as they were on offer and I had been meaning to buy one for some time as a standby knife.

At the same time I also ordered a 16cm Zebra Billy after seeing Copper_Head's write up of his recent jaunt to the hills which made me salivate over my keyboard whilst I read about his culinary efforts.

I ordered these at about 1400hrs. They came before 1200hrs on the following day.

I have to say it is rare these days that I receive anything in the post the day after it is sent out. Fantastic service!

Prices were pretty competative too which made this tight Yorkshireman even happier.:D

I am in no way linked to Woodlore or Mr Mears apart from being a very happy first-time customer. ]]> Resources Jackdaw http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=107729 http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=107684&goto=newpost Fri, 17 May 2013 06:21:00 GMT As the title, found this and thought i would share. some are variations of older ideas but handy. http://tipnut.com/camping-treats/ As the title, found this and thought i would share.

I've had a look round and it seems they are either mega expensive or flimsy and nasty!

If anyone knows where I can get my hands on a decent quality, reasonably large, no frills pit at a sensible price, I would be sooooooo grateful.

Waterstones are currently doing a '3 for the price of 2' deal on OS 1;25000 maps, maybe the 1:50000 too.

Tisos are doing a similar deal on trail meals (Wayfarer, Mountain house) etc - it's the cheapest one you get free of course. ]]> Resources Doc http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=107498 http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=107441&goto=newpost Sat, 11 May 2013 20:55:29 GMT Just thought I'd share this as I found a really good deal on a couple of Hultafors.

They also have those waterproof decontamination pots for 99p at the moment.

I have just brought one of these tops and two of the pots, but I have not purchased from this store before now so I have no idea of their customer service, so caveat emptor and the usual disclaimers. ]]> Resources kard133 http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=107432 http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=107287&goto=newpost Wed, 08 May 2013 09:45:20 GMT Does anyone know of any UK suppliers?

If I'm right Woolpower is Ullfrotte, so either brand is OK with me. Since it's hard to come by on this side of the pond - I'm moving my scope to the UK. So ... what's the best place to get it and you would recommend (price, reliable service, and willing to ship to NL) - ooh and accept Paypal. I don't do credit cards.

I have a friend who really doesn't like cooking with aluminum and he usually prefers copper, stainless steel, cast iron, etc. I know it is said that aluminum is okay for cooking, I use it myself, but I am not looking to invest the time in changing my friends mind. I also am not into just blackening it over the fire and trying to convince him it is something else. Does anyone have a suggestion for something similar? I have search the local shops and second hand markets but have not found it yet. ]]> Resources slowjunk http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=107162
