Projects, Equipment and Skills.

There is a huge industry out there providing equipment for use in the outdoors. Some of it is useful and some of it is frankly rubbish.

I have to admit I tend to be a bit of a magpie when it comes to kit.

I have bought far more stuff than I ever use and I’m still looking for that magic extra bit of equipment that will make the rest of my luggage feel lighter somehow.

One of the things Bushcraft can teach you is “Carry less by knowing more”.

A bit of leatherworking as the sun goes down.

This page is here to give an index to some of the small projects and handicrafts and bits of kit that make life more comfortable for me in the wilderness. It’s not going to be very organised because I’m not that organised myself, but from time to time I will add an extra page and put a new thumbnail up here.       I hope you enjoy seeing these ideas as much as I have enjoyed making or trying them out.
