From cheap polyester to okay to canvas (both of which claim to be waterproof one isn't, the other seems to be WP?). - tested over a year exposed to sun and wind and wet weather.

PF does a decent and relevant job of testing tarps, with interesting results

Personally, I rarely by the cheap HF type poly tarps - IME they fall apart within months. I don't camp under tarps, and these are general purpose tarps, not specifically meant for camping/etc. (although a few claim to be).

I do have one small canvas tarp that I've had for decades. It is NOT waterproof (water soaks into and thru it, and I have not treated it - yet. I have no experience with the "billboard" tarps.

I'm tryna find out how you find a good location to go bushcrafting without owning land. It seems that state parks wont let you start fires where every you please.

Hi good people of the group, I'm currently using a 27 litre military style daypack and whilst I love its durability and features, it's too small volume and too uncomfy a carry for my purposes when I start adding tools, sleep gear and clothing. I'm thinking a 35 litre to max 45 litre pack would be suitable, a comfortable carry of 10-12 kilos and preferably with a bushcraft/military aestethic/durability (so I'm disregarding the likes of Osprey and Gregory). My priority is the carry system. I've looked at the Savotta Kantamus, the Fjallraven Singi and the Wisport Silverfox 2, but are there other contenders? Thanks a bunch for your thoughts

Sorry, i'm a bit confused. I found some entries in Turkish but i couldnt write under that and bit curious because money was as dolar and length by inches. I will translate. Thanks

Merhaba, Bushcraft konusuna en azından temel seviyede girmek istiyorum. Temelden kastım, daha iyi ateş yakmak, temel düğümler, konaklama alanı seçme konusunda daha iyi bilgi, kamp sırasında faydalı olacak şeyler gibi. Türkiye bu konuya uygun mu bilmiyorum. Bu etkinliği yapacak etkinlik tavsiye edeceğiniz kanal var mı?

Bıçak konusu ilginç geldi. Sebebi şu, gerçek hayatta gördüğüm bıçaklar, hiç odun işler gibi gelmiyor. Elimde 15 yıl önce alıp hiç odun işlemek için kullanmadığım, savage marka, 2 3 mm et kalınlığı olan full tang, renginden ve şimdiye kadar paslanmaz azından paslanmaz çelik olduğunu düşündüğüm bir bıçak var. Baton için kullanılır diye düşünüyorum.

Hi, I want to learn bushcraft basics. I mean, being better about fire for cooking, basic and most useful 4 5 knots, being better on selecting camping site and accomadation like things.

I am not sure that Türkiye is suitable for this activity. Can you advice any place, training, channel/account to follow?

Im interested on knives because none of the knives that i see can carve wood or do something on it feasibly. I have a knife that a bought 15 years ago. It was very cheap. It has 2 or 3 mm blade width. I think stainless steel some kind. Full tang. It can be used for baton i guess.
