I envy you crashdive, my adventure is puny in comparison to yours, enjoy yourself ^^

Newcastle in the uk, I'll be staying in Penrith which is in the lake district. Thanks for reminding me about something to boil water in, it'ssomething I should have noticed. I'll have water on me...

Apologies. I'm going away for four days. I'll be staying in a cottage at night but through the day I'll be hiking over mountainous terrain. I have a fairly good amount of knowledge and experience....

Ok, I'm staying at a cottage for a few days, I'm going to be doing a lot of hiking so I put together a survival kit. On my person I'll be carrying a reliable folding knife, a mobile phone, a zippo...

both are good ideas. I just ordered 100m of 550 paracord off the net, so I guess the second method will be more convenient if I make one :p

Is it just me or do they look painful to use? if you put pressure on the spine wont the hacksaw edge just cut into you? :confused:

Great site. I think I might have stumbled upon it before, but unfortunately missed the DIY section. ^_^

Thanks, I've already read that page ^_^. I might go with the commercial one simply because I have two weeks and I'm busy right now. But next time I'm gonna make my own.

Hey guys. I got kinda bored with Survivalism/Bushcraft for a while. But now I'm back and I plan on getting myself a survival tin. But I have a bit of a dilemma. I might be going camping in the new...

Anyone who thinks they can make it in the wilderness with only cloths and a knife then actually attempts too should make sure they actually CAN. I think the knife is the most important piece of kit....

Ah good. I dont think using only a knife like that would work out too well even for a week of light-weight camping.

What do you guys prefer? A metal handle or a natural handle eg: Antler/Horn/Wood.

I don't care much for knife with short thick blade and metal handles. It depends on what you need it for. I prefer a traditional birch handle with a 4"-5" blade with just over an inch thickness. It...

I purchased a knife a month or so back, it has no brand but has served me extremely well. Its a 4" blade with a full tang and natural birch handle. It has no brand so it was only about $25 but its...

Coming onto the subject of First aid, could anyone recommend sites to me for it? I can properly dress a wound, address a broken limb and I know the basics of CPR... anything else I could go over? Any...

Why not show your husband the people who are living the dream. He may change his mind. Welcome to the site ^_^

I guess your right. But it destroys land. I'm not sure of the cause it, however I think pollution from vehicles is there... So although this is a Wilderness Survival forum I think looking at...

I got the "Ray Mears' Outdoor Survival Handbook" it covers some tracking, well, it covers pretty much every aspect of survival or "bushcraft". Its a great book. It goes through the four seasons and...

I think the hole was maybe too big, I made a slit in the top with my knife and the char cloth ignited when it was in the tin. But when I took it out it was still totally black and help sparks, but...

Ok... so I place the cotton buds into the tin (travel sweet tin, the same as boot polish tins) poke a small hole with the tip of my knife in the top of it then put it on the fire and it starts to...

Debris hut's are quick and efficient, especially in the autumn.

When you fire treat flint what temperature does it have to be at? and is it easier to strike flakes off before or after you fire treat it? I just started knapping, anyone got any tips?

Ebay, and I already got it :p

Ray Mears Bushcraft Survival Series 1 and 2 are good, help full tips in them too

Well, any thick waterproof walking boots are good for me :p

Probably my friends, My family aren't interested in the same kinda thing as me.
