Re: Who likes knives?
Forge forgive the late reply. Some stuff going on in the family the now. With regards the knife and its use. Honestly im just looking for a good all round steel that will do everything except cut down a tree and also look and feel formidable should it ever need to be used for such a situation. The b...

Re: Who likes knives?
Fully appreciate the law concerns. Ive had my fair share of police involvements when it comes to wild camping and prospecting. For experience the authorities have always been sound after speaking to me and concluding im not a nutter just the outdoor type. No offense intended but if i was in a kapa t...

Who likes knives?
Thought I'd throw this out here to see if anyone has any experience. Couldnt find a dedicated topic. Ive always had plenty of knives on hand, whether it be nice compact folders or larger fixed. I hold my hands up and say that until recently I had never given much thought to the metals used in blades...

Night bug out debrief
Evening Not long back from the night bug-out. Thought Id do a follow up to let you know how I got on. Suppose a small prerequisite would be good. Aim was to simulate what being cut off from home would be like, with no transport and minimum equipment. Based on the fact I work approx 35 miles away fro...

Re: Bugging out at night during winter
Id love to give you more details of exactly where im heading but im funny with people knowing these things until its done. But the road im following is fairly well maintained and has little cross country. No experience hiking in the dark so i cant risk it like you have said. I thought long and hard ...

Re: Bugging out at night during winter
Aiming for the 9th December and spot is in Aberfoyle. Luckily i have heavy duty pegs but i get what your saying. To be honest the more i think about it all the more im realising that it will be safer to establish a camp first (tent and decent fire) them move on to building a retreat. I can still pra...

Re: Bugging out at night during winter
Thank you for everyone's concern for safety on this one, I appreciate it. I wont lie, I'm nervous about it but to put some questions to bed; I'm taking (aside from the tent and sleeping bag) a small bio stove with fuel portions, a jet lighter and steel cup. Luckily where I'm going there is plenty of...

Bugging out at night during winter
Hope all are well. In a few weeks time I have set aside a few days to check on my winter skills and was looking for some advice on a few things if at all possible. In a nut shell; I've never 'bugged-out' at night before during winter. Plenty of winter camps under my belt, but these have always been ...

Homemade Thermoelectric Plate ~(o)~
Alright Troops Need some help. Are there any electricians out there, or anyone clued up on circuitry, thermoelectric generators that sort of jazz? I've been playing about with a homemade thermoelectric generator for a few months now. First few attempts at downsizing it didn't work out. I was using a...
