knife. The knife is 5mm thick high carbon steel which I brought down to
a clip point. I also removed most of the finish but left it a little
rough around the edges for a rustic look. This is my other post on this knife detailing the modifications I carried out; http://thesecretcamper.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/customised-british-mod-survival-knife.html<br />
<br />
The sheath is made of multiple layers of 4mm thick full grain leather,
stitched with nylon thread and given a waterproof dressing. It is a design based on Leodis Leather's Rat Cutlery sheath. Check out his vids on Youtube, they are very good if you are taking up leathercraft.<br />

Its my first leathercraft project and I am happy with the results. I found it very relaxing, so this will be the first of many. My next project will be to make a sheath for my Ontario Cutlass machete (12") as it didn't come with one. thesecretcamperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14990615947311822180noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7491543111108650474.post-25238317631409102582012-08-17T15:02:00.001-07:002012-08-17T15:03:38.874-07:00Return to Pistyll Rhaeadr (Berwyn Range, Wales)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This walk along with our last are walks I have done in the past with Matt from Peakseekers.com. They were spur of the moment walks and obviously easy to navigate from memory without a map/gps. I'm wondering when our good weather luck is going to run out. It was a bright sunny day with virtually no wind until we got to the top.<br />

I enjoyed this walk just as much as the last time I did it, although the top of the waterfall was very busy as this walk was on a weekend. As we walked away from the crowds at the top of the waterfall, Bruno went into chase mode on a local sweetheart (sheep). He decided to chase the sheep into a couple that were eating thier sandwiches. They were not particularly happy about this, and rudely told me that I should control my dog after watching me repeatedly shouting for him to come back. I invited them to catch Bruno but they declined. Note to miserable couple: Next time, if you expect an appology, be polite and don't come out guns blazing.<br />

This post is about a month overdue to other commitments, sorry its a little late. The weather report said 'light showers throughout the day', so rainproofs were packed and we headed off to the peaks. As usual, the reports were wrong and it proved to be one of the only sunny days of the year. This was the towards the end of the wettest drought in history. A beautiful walk, with an adrenaline pumping climb up Alport Castles...again. </div>

It is made by John Nowill and Sons of Shefield under contract to the army. It is used for survival and utility mainly in jungle and arctic environments.<br />

Bought from here: <a href="http://www.heinnie.com/product.asp?P_ID=1159" target="_blank">http://www.heinnie.com/product.asp?P_ID=1159</a> for just over £40 (about $110)<br />
<br />
To call it a knife is doing it an injustice. Its more like a mini
machete. The blade is 7
inches long, and with a quarter inch thick blade it is one heavy chopper. Its looks are very basic, and
its sheath is terrible, but it is built strong and designed to be a
tough workhorse of a knife. The scales are made of hardwood, and have 3
huge brass rivets holding the scales on to the full tang blade. These
scales usually sit proud of the tang. There are a few theories as to why this is, but no one really seems to know for sure;<br />
<br />
1) Some think the handles were like that to allow for customisation by the individual soldier.<br />
2) Some think the handles sit proud to minimise contact with the steel tang in cold environments.<br />
3) Some think its just because its built cheap to order. ...I'm of this school of thought. <br />
<br />
So I decided to give this knife a bit of a facelift, while still keeping
within its traditional workhorse look. I also did'nt want to spend
anything on it so all materials and tools were just what I had lying
about.<br />
<br />
Armed with nothing but an angle grinder and sander I set to work. I used the sander to remove the phosphate coating on the blade. I then used the
angle grinder to give it a subtle clip point instead of the round top. A utility knife was used to slowly carve the edges off the scales to
limit the amout of would I would need to sand off. Once the handle was
sanded I used the sanding disc on my angle to get in the places the flat
sander couldnt reach. I noticed that the grinder sanding disc gave the
handle a slightly 'burnt rattan' look- so I carried it on over the
whole handle. This has given the handle a lovely smooth feel so I am
glad I discovered it. <br />
<br />
All I then needed to do was head on to youtube to learn how tie a
lanyard knot. Using some old para cord I decided to go with the 'snake knot' which is what Chris
Reeve uses on his custom knives, and added a bolt 'washer' as shown in
the video. <br />
<br />
<br />
This is the finished result. It took me a total of 2 hours work so I am
pleased with the result. It feels like a lot of knife for £43. I plan on putting to work bushcrafting and shelter building very soon. <br />

This was our second trip to Ennerdale water in the lake district. The first time was a huge success so I hoped this trip would live up to expectations. Along with me was my bro in law Sam, and my ever faithful dog Bruno armed with his new backpack.<br />

We arrived at Ennerdale water at 3 in the afternoon with the aim of walking as far into the Ennerdale valley as we could get as it would shave some mileage off our hike the next day. This would enable us to spend as much time in the mountains hitting as many peaks as we could.<br />

After about an hour of walking disaster struck! Bruno managed to shake off his backpack somewhere in the forest or water. This doesnt sound too big a deal, but we were miles away from any resupply and were planning on being so for 2 days. Remember that old saying about eggs in one basket?...I ignored that old wisdom to my detriment. The bag had all of Brunos food a and comfort items for the trip. He hadnt eaten anything all day so without the pack he was going to have an uncomfortable night. WE HAD TO FIND IT. We searched high and low along the path, in the forest, the water runaways, and the bushes and after 3 hours or so I was starting to get pretty stressed.<br />
<br />
We made the decision to set up camp roughly where I thought it was lost to have some dinner and relax for a bit. I remembered that the bag had reflective piping on it which I was hoping would stand out well under torch light.<br />

After we got some food down us and sat down for a bit it quickly got to 10 o clock and it was still not dark enough, but we went on the search anyway. I had a small bag of beef jerky that I ended up feeding the completly unaware Bruno, this turned out to just be a bonus for him- as we were walking along, Sam caught the reflection of the pack from his head torch and saved the day. <br />
<br />
The trip had finally begun.<br />

We had no plans of making a fire, but due to the ridiculous amounts of midgies swarming us it was the only thing we could do to smoke them away. We let the fire burn out and retired for the night knowing we had added about 3 miles to our intended walk. Cheers Bruno.<br />

<b><u>Day Two</u></b><br />

After a late start and a hearty breakfast we broke camp, tidied up and headed off on the long walk up the up the valley to begin our ascent on Pillar.<br />

All of the stresses from the night before disapeared as we saw the veiws ahead. On the other side of the river was one man and his Collie that we later met as we were going up the hill. It turned out his wife had left her phone up the mountain somewhere the day before, and he had the unfortunate job of trying to locate it. He was lucky enough to find the phone and we were glad to have him come along with us for a chunk of the walk which worked out well for us as he had some great local knowledge to share including a better and quicker route towards pillar off the beaten track. With two days of equipment and supplies in out packs we were starting to slow the man and his dog down, so he headed on ahead of us. If you are reading this Stuart, thanks for the help, the route worked out great! <br />

After the long walk and being treated to some of the best views the lake district has to offer, we reached the top which was covered in hill fog. Touching the trig point still gives me an amazing sense of satisfaction. <br />

On the descent down the hill we remembered an old portacabin that was in the middle of Ennerdale Forest. It was a long walk away but we weighed it up against seting up camp and getting attacked by mosquitos all night and thought it was well worth the trek.<br />

Any followers of my blog will have seen him with me on a couple of my camps, but this will be a little different from the norm. I have to really make sure I plan well for this trip as we will be far away from shops and shelter. <br />
<br />
I am going with my brother in law Sam. We are planning to hammock on this trip. We always take the same method of shelter whether it be tents, tarps n bivis, or in this case hammocks as it means we are both looking for the same kind of pitch. The very nature of the lakes makes it difficult to find flat ground especially in the forest areas so a hammock should give us an easy time finding a pitch anywhere with trees. Its always a good idea to be in a bivi bag as a last defense- it also adds another season to your sleeping bags warmth. I'll be taking my bivi for all these reasons aswell as to have for an extra sleeping method if we find better spot out in the open.<br />
<br />
Sorry for the poor quality photo, my son is always playing with the camera so I think he may have adjusted the settings. Heres what I will be taking;<br />

Backpack waterproof cover<br />
British Army olive Bivi bag<br />
Map<br />
Compass<br />
Buff scarf (multipurpose for rough weather)<br />
Cap (for fine weather)<br />
Lhoon (long titanium spoon thats great for eating out of boil in the bag meals)<br />
MSR Titan cookpot (large gas can stored inside)<br />
Firelighting gear<br />
Coleman F1 Stove (very good lightweight stove)<br />
British army bottle and mug<br />
Titanium bottle (good for decanting)<br />
First aid kit and whistle<br />
Water bladder<br />
Exped waterproof bag (for change of socks, boxers, and t shirts)<br />
Work gloves (this is a new idea I am working on at the moment. they are very lightweight, grippy and made of kevlar type material - so very protective)<br />
Tesco torch (comes very highly reccomended on bushcraft sites, so I am giving it a try)<br />
Victorinox farmer knife<br />
Mora Knife (not a necessity but I don't like to be without it- its also lightweight)<br />
Para cord and whistle wrist band.<br />
Petzl Tactikka Torch<br />
Cheap 8gb MP3 player (lightweight, and no major problem if it gets broken)<br />
Disposable foam earplugs ( another idea I am toying with- the wind and water of the lakes can keep you up at night if the weather is really harsh)<br />
Small orange Exped waterproof bag (this bag has my name and address written on the inside, I keep my keys, wallet, and phone in it while I am out camping- the orange makes it hard to lose)<br />
Toilet kit including alcohol spray, paper, and an MSR tent peg<br />
Fake crocs (cost £5 and are a lot lighter then real ones)<br />
Brasher walking pole (first time user, just want to see what the fuss is about)<br />
Seat pad (makes lunch times comfortable)<br />
Zippo hand warmer- this will act as a sort of water bottle at night as I am taking a thin sleepbag<br />
Sunscreen sachets, alcohol hand wipes <br />
Washkit bag which holds my toothbrush, paste, and deodrant aswell as most of my accessories shown in the pic.<br />
Homemade ration packs, 1 for each day. Its a lot of food, but I'm a big lad with a big appetite!<br />
<br />Things not shown; Waterproofs trousers and jacket. Small UCO candle lantern- just for comfort in the evening, and the citronella keeps the mozzies away.<br />

As you can see from the pic above, I am pushing the boudaries of my
Karrimore Sabre 45 a bit, but once the food goes down, it will all carry
a lot better. Before I go I will cover my bivi bag with a rubble sack
to keep the rain out.<br />

The black leather boots shown above on the right are my Altberg Mountain boots. They have been very tough to wear in and I have had some epic blisters from using them, but I am not about to give up on them yet as they really come into there own once you get off the paths. From recent walks I realised that I need some more comfortable summer boots that are a bit lighter and a lot more breathable. I like the look of these Merrell Chameleon Mid Evo boots, and they come highly reccomended by my brother in law. I'll be taking both sets of boots with me and deciding on which to use when I see the weather, obviously I know this can change in an instant!thesecretcamperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14990615947311822180noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7491543111108650474.post-91522201052800781202012-06-21T13:51:00.000-07:002012-06-21T13:51:32.790-07:00Ezy Dog Backpack ReviewThis is a follow up from my owners earlier post on the broken cheapo backpack. The seller was kind enough to offer him an instant refund, so the cheapskate decided to do what he should have done in the first place- bought me a quality pack. This is my review of the Ezy Dog backpack.<br />
<br />
When the pack arrived I was instantly impressed with the quality. Its materials are what you would expect to see on a high quality human backpack. Ripstop nylon, waterproof zips, and lightweight mesh padding. All the hardware such as buckles, and trident clips are also top notch. <br />

Upon trying it on all my concerns of backpacks from the last purchase disapeared. This pack is comfortable. It sits above the legs instead of the middle of the back which allows me to move freely. There are no straps that dangle around my, well... danglies. ...the straps on my last pack got a fresh spray of irn bru every time I cocked my leg. <br />

So what do you put in a dog backpack? <br />
<br />
Well here is what I decided to load for two days wild camping in the lake district; <br />
<br />
Water bowl, Rubble sack (multi purpose, rubbish bag), waterproof and insulated coat for the cold night (I'll be under my owners tarpaulin), 3mtr length of para cord (leash for night time), tick tool, flannel (to dry off with at the end of the day), loads of bags (for some reason my owner likes to carry my $h*t??!!), a couple of rawhide chew bars, a tin of sardines for each day, and a good sized tub of dog buiscuits to nibble on throughout the day.<br />
<br />

<br />
So far I am happy with my Ezy Dog backpack. It has good load carrying capability, is comfortable and stable on the back, and built in a manner that suggests it will last a lot of abuse. the main thing I like about it is that it gives me indipendence- so my owner doesnt get all my gear dirty. <br />
<br />
The real test of this pack will come when I go for my upcoming trip to the lake district shortly, I'll update this post when I get back. <br />
<br />
....now, I'm off to go and lick my berries and wake up the neighbours. You b*tches keep the bed warm for me. <br />

He is coming wild camping with me to the lake district in a few weeks so I needed to check he was comfortable with it for a good distance. Grafham water is about a 10 mile radius going through forests, grassland, and standing crop fields. The aim of his backpack was to enable him to carry his own food, a bit of water, and a little bedding. Long story short about the dog backpack... it failed miserably. 1 strap broke, and the pack has a 3 inch tear at the seams- what did I expect for £12 off ebay? Avoid ...but it was a great excuse for a days walking so I can't complain.<br />

Brunos 6th sense kicked in as we approached the resevoir and he started to stir knowing we were soon to be walking. His head popped out of the window and I had to be mindful not to brake too hard! <br />

From the approach the water looked really choppy. There was an incredibly strong wind and a forecast of showers so I packed a rain jacket expecting the worse. It turned out to be a beautiful day with stunning views. The wind was blowing hard, but the sun kept in as t shirt weather the whole way round.<br />

It was a cracking day for the time of year, with just a bit of wind when out in the open.<br />
<br />
My son is now 17 months old and he already seems to have an appreciation for the outdoors that I hope will get stronger as the years pass. Needless to say, I will give him as many opportunities as I can.<br />

The plan was to spend the night in the hills of the peak district or perhaps Wales, but with zero visibility and lots of rain, the hills lost their appeal. So going from a recommendation of a friend, myself and Sam headed off half an hour down the road to enjoy a night of walking, exploring, bushcraft and camping.<br />

As always when I walk with Matt I am completly reliant on his navigation which is always on the money! This is just as well as today we were doing a 13mile round walk. We started the walk at 10am and finished at 6pm. For the full write up, map, directions etc. please check out Matts site <a href="http://www.peakseekers.co.uk/">http://www.peakseekers.co.uk/</a> and be sure to say hello from me. I cannot take any credit for the pics as they are from Matts ubercamera, I hope you enjoy them as much as me.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">CAUTION: We have since found out that we should not have climbed the Tower at Alport Castles due to lose rocks coming away. You've been warned! </span><br />

</tbody></table>With the arrival of the first frost on its way, its time to go collecting your sloes. There are plenty of instructions on the internet with measurements etc. What I am going to show you here is how to make sloe gin the easy way. Shown above is a picture of the Blackthorn bush where you will collect your sloes. <br />
<br />
1) Collect your sloe berries just after the first frost of the year. Be careful as it is very spikey Give them a good wash, and let them air dry.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Sloes, sugar, gin. You will also need a fork, funnel, and large empty bottle.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>2) Empty your bottle of gin into a large empty bottle and store it out of the way so you don't knock it over..<br />
<br />
3) Prick each sloe with a fork. The best way to do this is to roll the sloe on the points of the fork so it gets pricked 4 or 5 times. An even easier way is to just place them in the freezer and let the cold split the skin. You choose. <br />

</tbody></table>4) Place the pricked sloes in the bottle until the bottle is about a quarter full of berries.<br />
<br />
5) Fill the bottle with sugar until it reaches around half way up the bottle. Use a funnel, or just a rolled up piece of card works fine.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Adding sugar using a funnel (piece of card)</td></tr>
</tbody></table>6) Pour the gin back into the original bottle. Obviously because of the sloes and the sugar, you will have a little gin left over. Don't go drinking this just yet as you will need to shake the bottle a bit which will let the contents settle. Once this has happened, top up the gin.<br />
<br />

</tbody></table> 7) With any spare gin, make a little bottle for a friend as it will be ready just in time for Christmas.<br />
<br />
The photo below shows what your sloe gin will look like after just one week. The sugar is dilluted and the colour has come out of the berries. <br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Sloe gin after 1 week of brewing</td></tr>
</tbody></table>All you need to do now is resist the temptation to drink your sloe gin, keep it in a cool dark place, and give it a little shake every day or so. As you do this you will gradually notice the gin go from a light pink to a deep black/purple. <br />
<br />
Most sloe gin is ready just in time for Christmas, but if you can, leave it until the following year, as this is when it is at its best. All the more reason to make a few bottles!!! When you are ready to drink, just filter the gin using a sieve or a flannel, discard the sloes, and return to the bottle.<br />
<br />
Enjoy.<br />

I grabbed my rucksack and trew in whatever I thought I needed. With water bottles filled, and food packed I was raring to go. And then the dog lead was handed to me...that meant my wife wanted me to take the dog too. This generally means a broken nights sleep while the dog growls at noises and shadows in the night.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

The darkness came in quickly, so we got pitched up, and got cooking. A good meal was just what we needed after the long walk we had. We moved away from the camp and cooked and ate on the bench you can see from the pics. The meal was washed down with a few Koppaberg ciders while looking across fields as the sun went down. It was then time to start the fire and get comfortable.<br />

Keeping true with the 'pitch late, leave early' philosophy, we packed up our gear, bagged up the rubbish, scattered the ashes, and headed off;- leaving no trace. <br />

A great camp spot that took a while to find, but was well worth it. As we walked out of the camp we spotted a man and his kids fast asleep on a groundsheet. They must have slept under the stars with hardly any gear other then sleeping bags. -a lesson in priorities to us all. <br />

We drove the Freelander up a bumpy dirt track and after a brief walk, we found our site. It was very quiet, and well away from any paths or passers by. This was to be a lazy sit back, eat lots, and drink plenty type of evening- mission accomplished!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

From the moment you drive in to the lake district you are treated to some on the best views in England. The mountains are breathtaking, and you can't help but think of the conditions that created such a beautiful landscape, and its no wonder that 15 million tourists visit the lakes every year. <br />
<br />
<strong><u>Day 1</u></strong><br />
<br />
As any savvy walkers would do, we checked the weather on the day and as you would expect from the lakes; rain, wind, and more rain was forecast. The plan was to park the car at Ennerdale, and go walking around the lake and neighbouring forests for the day while keeping an eye out for a good wild camping spot. As soon as we started walking the rain came in, bringing back bad memories of our last trip. The hoods went up and the rucksack covers went on and off we went. <br />

</tbody></table>We stuck to paths the whole time on this walk as we hiked through the forests taking in the sights and sounds. By the end of our 3 hour walk we had two camp spots in mind. Both had good access to water, scenic and secluded. The one we chose offered us the best protection from the elements as it looked as though we were going to be in for a tough night from mother nature. We found a small fire pit tucked behind our camp that someone else had discreetly left. It was a far from what you see left by chavs in the local parks scattered with beer cans. Whoever left it tidied up the ash before his departure leaving only a circle of rocks. I would never normally leave any signs of a fire anywhere but with this one it seemed like the sort of place that would be revisited time and again, so we too left it as we found it.<br />

<strong><u>Day 2</u></strong><br />
<br />
After a good breakfast, we quickly packed up and tidied our camp ready to start our walk at 9:00. We walked back down through the forest a different way to what we came to explore more of the area. As we crossed the concrete bridge we we could see Crag Fell and the neighbouring mountains we were going to be hiking up. With a rough route in mind we carved our own way up the mountains. We didn't use a single path apart from animal tracks which slowed us down considerably, but this allowed us to use walls and features to keep our bearings, instead of referring to the map all the time. We were hit by the rain quite hard at the start, but this soon faded and we found the wind had a strong drying affect. After four hours of walking we stopped for lunch at the top of the second peak revelling in the fact that we were literally in the clouds. With all surrounding views blocked out by the cloud we were glad that we had the walls to keep our bearings and keep us on track for Crag Fell. After lunch it is always hard to pick yourself up and get going again but we knew we had to plough on as we didn't want to be camping out in the mountains with the current weather conditions. <br />
<br />
With the peak in sight the sun started to break through the clouds. This was very good timing for us as it gave us good photo opportunities at the top of Crag Fell. With the cairn (..or pile of rocks as I call it) in sight we picked up our rocks and triumphantly dropped them on the top. We sat at the top and took a few photos with a real sense of satisfaction after looking over the mileage we had covered.<br />
<br />
Now 16:00 the descent as always was hard on the knees, but it marked the end of a tough yet rewarding walk that I will be glad to repeat.<br />
<br />
From there we drove to a forest close to Braithwaite for an found a fantastic spot with a view of the surrounding mountains that beats most commercial campsites I've ever seen. We set up camp, got cooking, and bedded down for the night with the sound of the rain bouncing off the tarps.<br />
<br />
A truly great experience for the cost of just a bit of petrol.<br />

No one wants to be unprepared, especially in the Lake District. The last time me and Sam (my brother in law) tried a wild camp in the lakes we were practically washed off the mountain. The place flash flooded turning the 'path' we walked up into a waterfall, and turning the campsite we walked past into a no-mans land (bar one stranded tent...doh!). No waterproofs, and carrying lots of heavy unnecessaries we gave up our 3 day hike after the first night. Embarrassing to say the least, but it was like a baptism of fire for us. As we carried all of our soaking wet gear down the mountain we were already talking about our return, and discussing what we would do differently next time. That time has come, only this time, we are much more prepared.<br />

Due to the nature of UK bushcraft there is not much of a need for lightweight gear. Many of my cooking pots and grills for camping in the woods are made of stainless steel, as I am rarely walking more then 3 miles to get to my chosen site weight is not an issue. <br />
<br />
Trekking up steep hills is no fun, but the views make it all worth while. In order to get these views I knew I needed to shed as much weight from my pack as possible. Aluminium is not ideal for use over a fire so I opted for titanium. My favourite shop for this stuff is a family run business called <a href="http://www.backpackinglight.co.uk/">http://www.backpackinglight.co.uk/</a> . They were very helpful over the phone and keep good stock levels so I wasn't left waiting. <br />
<br />
Pictured below is my lightweight cookware. MSR Titan Kettle, Coleman F1 Lite stove (smaller then the MSR pocket rocket, and super powerful), Leatherman Wave (multitool that will double up as my pot grabber), Lhoon- or long spoon if you prefer (useful for boil in the bag meals), MSR Blizzard Peg (for use as a trowel as suggested in my iPOOD post).<br />

If anyone has any relevant, useful, or interesting sites they would like me to mention, please leave a comment in this post. Many of the sites/blogs I will list are ones that I follow, if you stop by and like there page, please say hello from me!<br />
<br />
<strong>In no particular order:</strong><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.peakseekers.co.uk/"><span style="color: blue;">www.peakseekers.co.uk</span></a><br />
Peakseekers is a must for anyone that is into walking, hiking, and backpacking. It is mainly based around the UK, but Matt has been to Everest base camp and made a few appearances in Trail Magazine. He is a great photographer and one of the nicest blokes you'll ever meet. ....I know you will like this one.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.gorges-smythe.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;">www.gorges-smythe.blogspot.com</span></a><br />
Mr Smythe describes himself as a purveyor of nostalgia, humour and social commentary- and I am quite happy to agree. Gorges writing style is very engaging and because of this he has a loyal group of followers of which I am one.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.hikingforum.co.uk/"><span style="color: blue;">www.hikingforum.co.uk</span></a><br />
This is a new forum which I can see being popular in the near future. It has a good layout without too many categories. All it needs now is more people. The site owner as well as the other members are very welcoming, and knowledgeable so please stop by. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://ashonthefire.typepad.com/"><span style="color: blue;">http://ashonthefire.typepad.com/</span></a><br />
A new outdoor cookery blog that is already gaining popularity from the bushcraft crowd, and rightly so. The photography is so good you can almost smell the smoke of the fire. Like many a good outdoor blog it makes you want to get out there and do it for yourself and in the case of this blog I feel like getting a fire going and relaxing with a glass of merlot.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.backpackinglight.co.uk/"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.backpackinglight.co.uk/</span></a><br />
One of my favourite online shops. A small family run business that is friendly and customer driven. It gets a special mention here due to some recent purchases I made from it. I recently upgraded many of my camping metalware for some lightweight titanium stuff so I can travel further without my pack weighing me down. Delivery was next day, and I recieved two attempts to call me (I missed both unfortunatly) to check my order had arrived safely. Good quality products, and user friendly site which I will no doubt be using again.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.bushcraftuk.com/"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.bushcraftuk.com/</span></a><br />
One of the best bushcraft forums you will find. Lots of very active members keep the chat going. A real community spirit coupled with a friendly vibe make this a great place to visit if you have any bushcraft, camping, or foraging related questions.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.ravenlore.co.uk/index.html"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.ravenlore.co.uk/index.html</span></a><br />
This website in my opinion is as good as it gets. The man is a legend that needs no introduction to anyone in the bushcraft community.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://kepisbushcraft.webs.com/"><span style="color: blue;">http://kepisbushcraft.webs.com/</span></a><br />
An outstanding blog with an emphasis on family getting out and doing stuff together. It was one of the inspirations for me starting my blog as I look forward to the day I can take my son out with me to teach him the things that matter in life.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://huntergathercook.typepad.com/"><span style="color: blue;">http://huntergathercook.typepad.com/</span></a><br />
It seems this guy spent some time living in a tree house and wrote a book about it- whats not to like? This is a great site for anybody that wants to get into foraging or self sufficiency. Packed with useful informations and great photography.<br />

<br />
1 cup flour<br />
Half hand full of flaked almonds<br />
A bit less then half hand full of dried cranberries<br />
Milk (mix until doughnut consistency)<br />
Demerera sugar sprinkled on both sides to caramelize.<br />
<br />
Olive oil in pan.<br />
<br />
I like using the trangia as it is good practice for the field.<br />
