🌲 New Video!

I bought more bushcraft gear from Temu to see if it’s actually worth the money… or just cheap junk!

Come and see what I picked up and let me know which item you’d be most tempted to try.

I’m taking a first look at the Wildway Bushcraft Field Repair Kit and seeing what it has to offer. Could this little kit save your trip when gear fails?

Would you carry one in your bushcraft kit? 🌲🔥

🛠️ New Video!

I turned a few everyday tools into one DIY multitool… but would you actually carry it?

I’d love to hear what you’d add or change!

🔪 New Video – NexTool Knight K40

This is the NexTool Knight K40 — a folding knife with an integrated bit driver built into the handle.

In the video, I take a closer look at the knife, go through the main specifications and show how the blade-and-driver combination works.

It’s certainly an interesting idea, but is it genuinely useful or just a bit of a gimmick?

🎥 Watch here:

Would you carry something like this, or would you rather keep your knife and screwdriver separate?

Please remember to check your local knife laws and carry tools responsibly.

🔧 New Video!

In this one I take a look at the NexTool Flagship Captain multitool, go over the specs and share my first impressions to see whether it’s actually worth buying.

If you’re into multitools, EDC gear or outdoor kit, this might be one to check out.

Would you carry this, or would you stick with another multitool?

🔥 Can you really get a glowing coal from amadou using a ferro rod?

In this video I prepare some natural amadou using the Beaver Bushcraft Fire Dog Striker before using a Forest Fundamentals ferro rod to create a glowing coal.

It’s a fascinating traditional bushcraft skill that’s still just as useful today.

🔪 A subscriber asked a great question…

If you had to choose between the Wildway Instructor Knife and the Field & Steel Echo, which one would you buy?

I compare them side by side, looking at the size, ergonomics and bushcraft performance to help you decide.

🌿 Can you really make cordage from willow bark?

After soaking the bark for several days, it was finally time to twist it into natural cordage. A brilliant traditional bushcraft skill that’s well worth learning!

Bow Drill… Attempt #2! 🔥

Still no ember… but I’m getting closer and learning something every time. Bushcraft isn’t always about getting it right first time—sometimes it’s about sticking with it until you do.

Watch the latest attempt here:

Would you keep going, or would you have given up by now? 🌲💪

After watching Alone for years, I started wondering:

What knives do the winners actually carry?

Most people expect huge survival knives, axes, and machetes. But after looking at every winner from Seasons 1–12, the results were surprisingly different.

Some winners used large fixed blades.

Some relied on traditional bushcraft knives.

Several won using multitools.

One even trusted a simple Mora.

The biggest lesson?

Skill matters more than gear.

I’ve put together a full breakdown of every winning knife and cutting tool used by Alone champions from Seasons 1–12, along with some interesting patterns I noticed along the way.

Read the full article here:

Question for you:

If you were going on Alone tomorrow and could only take ONE cutting tool, what would it be and why?

A quick fire-up with my Forest Fundamentals stove this week.

I recently used the Beaver Bushcraft Solar Pendant and some amadou tinder to create an ember and get this stove burning. It’s a simple, compact setup that has become a regular part of my bushcraft kit.

If you’d like to check out the Forest Fundamentals range, you can find it here:

🔥 Compact

🌲 Bushcraft friendly

☕ Perfect for a brew in the woods

Hip Replacement Recovery – Days 8 to 17 🦿

It’s now been 17 days since my hip replacement surgery, so I thought I’d share a quick update on how things are going.

Some days have been better than others, but I’m definitely moving in the right direction. In this video I talk about the progress I’ve made, the challenges I’ve faced, and what recovery has really been like so far.

If you’re waiting for a hip replacement, recovering from one yourself, or just curious about the journey, I hope this helps.
