Swiss Mountain Bushcraft
I think anywhere you go its important to calmly sit by a camp fire and look into the flames as they change in subtle ways. From place to place and country to country with different woods from all over the world.

A very short trip report from Northern India. High mountains, a mountain tribe with such generosity, traditional skills and distant thunder storms at night lighting up the valleys.

MSR Lightning Trail Snowshoes Review
Hiking through crisp glistening powder, forging your own path through the unbroken blanket of white ahead. A never ending delight when walking in full on winter conditions. For me it’s a happy mix of nerves and sheer delight with the former produced by the knowledge of never exactly knowing what is lying beneath your feat!

Mora Garberg Review
The Mora Garberg takes a new path for Mora with the Garberg seeming to be the truest realisation of this new direction which started with the Mora Robust Pro and continued on to products such as the Mora Bushcraft Black. These are both two very capable knives but both lacked full tangs and this is where the Garberg comes in which offers great durability and a very solid package overall.

Summer in Skuleskogen
“Docksta!”
The word kept on running through my mind as the coach driver announced it at 2am on a dark February morning earlier this year. However, this was July and it was like I was visiting a different country all together.

Winter in Skuleskogen National Park
Arriving in Stockholm the first task was to find and locate the map I needed to purchase for Skuleskogen National Park.
The shop Kartbutiken (www.kartbutiken.se) proved a very useful store and indeed stocked maps of pretty much everywhere it seemed.

Karrimor SF Commander 45 Review
The first thing I noticed when I first saw the pack were the two pockets on the front, they dominate the design not only in looks but in practicality too. I have come to really appreciate these two pockets which although a simple addition to the Commander 45 really make it useful out in the field.

Tops Tibo Neck Knife Review
The kit I use is always changing but one aspect has stayed the same for many years, the bushcraft knife on my belt. It was a solitary knife, scandi ground, 4 inches in length and with this I did all my bushcraft tasks. It worked well, so well in fact the method of using one knife of this particular style did not change. The knives may have altered but they were all of a similar design, that of the classic bushcraft knife.

ESEE RC4 Review
I think writing about knives over and over again would turn any normal person to boredom but I genuinely find knife design to be a fascinating subject, which involves many subtleties and considerations to get a knife just right. Any manufacturer can produce a sharp object, it’s in making this into a fully-fledged tool where the magic has to happen.
