Bushcraft articles and equipment review

I am certainly not a bushcraft expert but I love the idea of living simply in harmony with nature using practical skills and natural resources in the manner so idyllically portrayed by Ray Mears.  Fortunately my main hobbies of sailing and canoeing/kayaking lend themselves well to trying out some of these skills (if only in a minor way).

Unfortunately, despite my desire for natural simplicity, I also find all the lovely shiny bushcraft/survival gear which is so readily available irresistible so to salve my conscience a little I will try to at least post some small reviews of some of my equipment which may be of use to others.

The following is an initial list of equipment I intend to review and each item will be added to the menu link when the review has been written (it may take some time for me to complete them so it may be a while before the links  become active).
