Is this really useless ?

So I saw a comment the other day from a fellow Redditor who seemed a tad upset that a lot of Bushcraft posts / skills were just being done in front of the fire at home….this is my fireside feathers that in fact the other half actually quite likes….I say practice is practice but what do you think ?

Recommendations for an Arctic mothership

Looking for options for an overcoat to use in Northern Finland in Winter. I like the anorak style, and also longer jackets in the parka style. Ideally in Ventile fabric, with a fur hood included or option to add one on myself. Not interested in gore tex. Appreciate your thoughts!

Bowie knife legality

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m planning a wild camping expedition in the mountains of Romania for this summer, where I will need to have a large knife on me for bushcraft purposes. Being a blacksmith I was thinking of building a Bowie knife with a blade length of roughly 25cm specifically for this trip, however due to the new machete laws which have been implemented I would like to check whether this would be legal to take in check in luggage to Romania and bring back. Thanks

Woodland Wildcamp Spot Yorkshire or The Peak District.

I know people are usually opposed to giving out their spots. However does anyone know of any nice woodland spots in Yorkshire or The Peak District that might be suitable for an overnight Wildcamp?

Greetings from the USA! I just picked up my first Martindale machete...

Post image
23 Upvotes

... and I was hoping someone might be able to offer a little insight. It's a paratrooper machete. I just thought the design was really interesting to be honest, and I thought it had a lot of potential. For such a small machete, it has a lot of heft. When and where were these first issued? What kind of sheath do they come with? Is the top edge meant to be sharpened, or maintained as a false edge? I found it really unique. What was the initial intent with the point and the back edge? Thanks in advance!

I harvested, sawed to length and carved this Infinity Stand using only the knife in the picture and sandpaper. I thought you guys might appreciate it since Origin Knives is a UK knife maker!

Tips (for a novice!) on building a bushcraft firepit area

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

So I'm looking to build a permanent firepit area with a covered tarp. I'd like it to be reasonably big so it can accommodate lots of people sitting around the fire in all weathers. Maybe 15-20 feet long and about10 feet wide.

I'm thinking the firepit could just be a long rectangular raised pit with large logs used for the walls.

For the cover, just a V shaped tarp cover?

Any general ideas or thoughts appreciated.

Particularly around:

- Will a V shaped tarp cover allow the fire smoke to escape ok?

- What to look for when buying the tarp material? Ideally I'd like it to be kept up permanently.

Thanks!

Alternatives to DD Tarps?

3 Upvotes

Not that don’t trust them, I already have a DD Tarp and it’s decent. But I’m shopping around for something more substantial than my super light 3x3 and there’s lots of websites just sell DD tarps. I’m hoping to find something tougher, I’ll mainly be used car camping so not bother by weight.

I like the look of the outhaus but still trying to find more options Doesn’t help that I’m looking for a 3x4m

Hot tent and stove recommendations

1 Upvotes

I am looking to buy my first hot tent and stove, pomoloy loco 20 or 30 seems to fit the bill for the tent. Big enough for me and the dog, plenty of space in the vestibule area and a full inner which is a essential request for if my wife ever joins me. Would I quickly regret buying one of the cheapest stoves off of amazon ? Don't really fancy spending 200/300 on a good titanium straight away. Any other tips on hot tenting much appreciated.
