The boooshcraft thread
I've been looking into bushcraft and bushcrafting skills and tools lately.
Got my first axe today, a Gränfors 420 small wildernes axe. Hopefully my Kabar Becker BK2 knife will be on its way soon, if customs allow it.  Any buschrafters on the board? I'm a newb, but i'm signing up for a long weekend in the woods. Care to share tips on which tools to get/ not to get?

I did my research. Granfors axes are high quality stuff, and razor sharp!
A buddy of mine does survival trips in sweden. He's organising one for november, no tents allowed!! That is too cold for me!❄️

I used to do it in the late 80's. This is a good old book, Nessmuk wrote articles in the early 1900's, people were already trying to flee technology and the hectic life!
The Project Gutenberg eBook of Woodcraft, by Nessmuk. This is another good one if you don't already have it... http://www.amazon.com/Browns-Field-Guide-Wilderness-Survival/dp/0425105725

For brick and mortar breed filth and crime,
With a pulse of evil that throbs and beats; And men are withered before their prime By the curse paved in with the lanes and streets. And lungs are poisoned and shoulders bowed, In the smothering reek of mill and mine; And death stalks in on the struggling crowd— But he shuns the shadow of oak and pine. NESSMUK.

If you are only going for long weekends, I would minize the tools...unless you are building a house or soing out for weeks at a time.
Tools are cool, but not necessary (other than a knife)...and heavy if hiking. You do need something to transport water or to make it drinkable (unless you are camping near good water). Something to start a fire with (flint and steel, waterproof matches)...and food (unless you want to gather your own).

I think as long as it has the word "Bush" in the thread, it stays in PARF.

I don't think he likes us here...and we have been such gentlemen.
No, I would not wear the fake bearskin rug in the woods...even with body armor underneath. Reminds me of the zombie movie where Bill Murray put on some makeup and pretended he was a zombie as a joke. Got the double tap.

ok guys, thanks for the links and the tips.
I think I will re-make this thread in regular OT because I know a lot of people from there won't come over to the dark side...

The booshcraft thread
I've been looking into bushcraft and bushcrafting skills and tools lately.

I'm a newb, but i'm signing up for a long weekend in the woods. Care to share tips on which tools to get/ not to get? I'd love to see pics of your outdoor knives, tools, equipment. (this is the freaking fourth time I made this thread.... forum filters always place it in PARF so I had to write 'booshcraft' instead of 'bushcraft'....

The Kabar's nice, keep it on your side. The hatchet you purchased is cool, hang it on the wall for decoration and get you one of these...
Estwing Camper's Axe with Sheath Don't use your Kabar for splitting wood or rough use. Get one of these. They are cheap and they are one of the hardest knives to kill that you will find. Classic Bowie Knife Rough Use 13.5" Overall Length Black Thick 8" 440 Stainless Steel Blade With Nylon Sheath A magnesium transmission end cap with broken dog ears (Think 914) can be had cheap and will give you a lifetime supply of filings for fire starting. (No need to purchase any fancy fire starting kits). You can purchase a huge ferro rod here that will last you for the rest of your life for a lot cheaper than one of those dinky kits. Ferro Rods and Fire Starters - Ferro Rods, Survival and Camping Other than that, have fun and be safe!

Solo Four Day Hunting & Bushcraft - YouTube
Mcqbushcraft has an awesome YouTube series on all things bushcrafty. The BK2 is a mighty knife but I get more use out of the 9. I'm eyeing the same Granfors.
