Can anyone recommend something good?

Ideally something pretty substantial that can be shared by a group.

Nothing too messy - I like a good cobbler at home but dread the clean up out of doors.

Apple dump cake sounds promising but all the recipes i found online specified “add a box of cake mix” which isn’t helpful.

Hello friends from across the pond! I just wanted to pop in and introduce myself, my name is Chris and I'm 41 years old from Alaska. I did startup a bushcraft YouTube channel at the start of the year, but I'm not here to SPAM my channel all over your page. I just wanted to talk to other bushcrafters from other countries and see what I could learn and/or share.

I've been into the outdoors all of my life and bushcraft and survival have always been fascinating to me. Growing up we used to camp out in the woods in makeshift shelters, backyard tent campouts, we would check out library books and practice making different things before the books were due, ah the good old days! As I got older I never stopped playing in the woods. I've gone on hunting trips, hikes, worked some epic jobs that took me to parts of the state that few get to see and others pay BIG money to get to! Today I work a desk job but go play out in the woods as often as I can. It wasn't until the start of the new year that I finally started recording my adventures and sharing my bushcraft and survival knowledge with the world. But we also never stop learning, and that's why I am here.

I look forward to getting to know the lot of you! If there is any interest in checking out my channel please send me a PM or check my profile for a link. I won't post it here unless someone asks and it has been OK'd by a mod.

Hey,

I’m looking for a relatively cheap yet practical multi tool.

A few of the main things I’d appreciate are a blade for cutting wood (for example making marshmallow skewers etc), scissors, pliers, etc etc. Not limited to having all of them though.

While I will be primarily carrying this while on camping trips, I would like to have the option to legally carry it every day inside the uk. I know the laws can be quite strict on this which isn’t ideal.

Does anyone have any recommendations for what I can purchase to try and meet what I listed as closely as possible?

So you’re in tesco and all hell breaks loose and you decide you need to camp/survive outside of the city/town you live in. What do you grab and why?

I want to make up a few little survival tins rather than just buying a pre-made kit.

My first one is a fire starter kit. In this kit - Kindle, lighter, matches, fire starter, flint rod, petroleum jelly.. Should I add anything else?

Next is cordage & Random things. In this kit - Cordage, fishing wire, hooks, tape. Should I add anything else?

Finally what other tins/bags should I create? What type of small resealable & usable bags are best? For any bigger items.

Only spend £15!

Im looking for a knife that can be used for general camping and bushcraft used but also decently strong for using to cut wood.

Im not looking to spend hundreds but ive got a decent budget and want something that will last me forever

Hi all, I hope this is okay to post here. I've created a sub for people interested in renovating/refurbing/repairing paraffin pressure lamps and stoves, aka "fettling"

It's not just for those from the UK, but I thought it only fair to put down some kind of geographic location so people know!

Feel free to have a look and join in. I'd like it to be aimed more at the skills and techniques used, rather than buying/selling/valuations. I've added some posts about the lamps I'm currently working on.

Hope you find it interesting, and I'd love to know any feedback you have!

I managed to land a M1909 last year and have found it amazing once the temp goes south of 0*. But I think the leather under the fleece is drying out as I've had a few tufts of the wool fall out.

Can anyone recommend anything I can try to rejuvenate the fleece or a regular care routine?

I really love bushcraft and survivalism. I have since I was a kid, I was just never allowed to join the scouts because my mum was extremely overprotective. Now that I'm an adult I really want to get into foraging and bushcraft, I just want to make sure I'm responsible and get the correct gear and knife that isn't too big so I cut myself. A lot of the knives I see advertised on the channels I love tend to be from America so recommendations from the UK would be amazing.

I’ve been lighting fires by friction for over a decade now but gave it a rest this past year just a because I was focusing on other things (I used my flint and steel a lot more).

Came back to my bowdrill set last weekend and failed to get an ember. It’s a very old set I’ve had for years, hazel drill onto birch hearth board. The drill was very short having been used for such a long time so I decided to make a new kit. I just split a birch log and rounded out a piece for the drill and made a hearth board from the same log. Spent a good few hours over the last week drilling away with no success at all, rubbish quality powder and a lot more noise and effort required on the bearing block than normal. Yesterday got so frustrated that I grabbed a bit of goat willow, split it and quickly made a rough board and tried that - ember in about 1 minute of drilling.

So my question is: has anyone succeeded with a silver birch drill and hearth board? Because I was really thinking I’d lost the touch and was seriously doubting myself until I switched boards and got that ember almost instantly.

Hi all, thinking for long term storage, would grinding up silver birch bark be a good fire starter?

When I do something new I like to try do things with DIY setups.

I'm planning on doing a random walk and sleep in the Woodlands. I'll just have a rucksack, currently I just have a small 2 man tent, little gas stove, sleeping bag & warm/waterproofs clothes.

So the questions below will help with my first trip and help me learn more about what I need. I'll only be sleeping out for 2 nights.

Survival kits, are they worth it? I thought buying 1 kit would do, then I just replace a few items. However some kits have different things in to other kits. So what's a must and what's not? In a survival kit?

If you made a DIY survival kit, what are your key items? Items you won't camp without?

You can send a link to a kit if you feel it's good enough for a beginner.

Now food, what food do you take? Do you make your own? Do you buy MRE's or Camping meals? Or do you buy rice? Tuna? Anything in a bag?

Any help any way would be appreciated.
