Stuart Mitchell Secare

My Secare Survival Knife has just arrived from the talented custom knife maker Stuart Mitchell.

It's a stunning knife and an amazing piece of craftsmanship.

The blade is made from SF100 Steel (Surgical Steel). The handle is made from G10 and the sheath Kydex.

I am really pleased with it and can't wait to try it.

All of Stuarts knives are handmade to order.

He consulted several survival experts for the Secare design, including I believe Bear Grylls.

Absolutely stunning!

Snowdon Horseshoe & Crib Goch

The 800 meter sheer drop either side of Crib Goch. You have to traverse across the top of this ridge when you do the Snowdon Horseshoe.

The Snowdon Horseshoe one of my favourite little adventures and an outstanding ridge walk, that involved walking, scrambling and an amazing sense of exposure.

The total ascent is 1152 meters, reaching a maximum height of 1,085 meters on the top of Snowdon.

Do not attempt in bad weather or strong winds!

As you can see from the picture above, it involves Srambling across the "knife-edged" arête or ridge for several hundred meters, know as Crib Goch. This will involve using your hands and feet. This gives you the most amazing sense of exposure as there is an 800 meter drop either side on you as you move across the top with is only a couple of feet wide! It's exhilaration though and the views as you can see below are outstanding!

I've wild camped several times on the lake at the base of Snowdon. Every time I have done so, I have had the lake to myself. You camp with Snowdon as a back drop! Such a dramatic place to wild camp!

It really is quite an adventure and one of my favourites!

This really is a very portable BBQ that can be taken anywhere.

My flat pack BBQ is very light and takes up very little space. It really does work very well.

Some of portable camping stoves. I've got some cheaper ones for beach use, because the beach can be hard on these little stoves. All of these stoves work well, take up little space and don't weigh very much.

My portable gas camping light. This is very light and very bright. And of course doesn't require batteries and so can make a good back up light.
