>>7749581) I carry a Fallkniven TK4, I carry an ESEE 3 if I'm going fishing
2) Agreed, although in my case it's relative as I find it a problem carrying loads (I'm disabled and have to walk with a cane)
3) I'm a britbong, so things are different here. If you light a fire I can pretty much guarantee the wood will contain enough moisture to create a fair bit of smoke. That attracts people though smell and sign which is never a good thing. Gas or alcohol all the way for cooking.
4) People take this to extremes but there is warrant for it. It wasn't more than a couple of years back that a patch of incredibly rare Snowdon lillies had been squashed flat by some dumb fuck ultralighter camping in Cwm Idwal. Granted that is more awareness than leave no trace, but it was plain to see form the photos taken by the park staff that they had stomped the area hard and didn't give a fuck
5) True but the vast majority of people here in the UK are under prepared, and have fuck all knowledge as to what they are doing. Trails are the safest place for them, they fuck up and get into trouble even on the most well marked, maintained and active places
6) see 4, fucktards in SSSIs doing shit like this piss me off no end. In general though I don't have a problem with it unless it's stripping the area bare just to build them
7) I am all about comfort, but within reason, i'm not going to lug a deck chair, but you'll never find me without a sitpad (everything is pretty much damp to some degree in North Wales)
8) It's fine but I'd rather not rely on if to eat. opportunistic hunting/fishing to supplement what you already have on you is the way I go
9) I run a 'tactical bag' just because it works for me
10) Overrated as fuck
11) If I catch you biking on a walking trail expect to catch my cane though your front spokes
12) Agreed
13) Also agreed people just tend to pack too much shit
14) It has a time and place but bushcraft is a highly romanticised mid life crisis activity for UK males
