Articles.

Here you will find a selection of articles and random bits that didn’t seem to fit neatly elsewhere.

You will also find a few snippets in the Gallery too.

They are perhaps just the beach combings of my peculiar mind.

The content here will grow and change as the mood takes me. You will find reviews of odd bits of equipment, random ideas or thoughts and the occasional rant. Some of them I hope you will find inspiring, others more thought provoking.

Either way, I hope you enjoy what you find and I hope they encourage you to go out and see what life, with a bit of wilderness in it, will bring you.

Ravenlore is a site promoting Bushcraft and Wilderness skills as a way of working, living and enjoying the wilderness with minimal impact on it’s resources. Bushcraft should be practised in a responsible manner with consideration for the environment and other people who seek to enjoy the outdoors.

Bushcraft skills complement many outdoor living pursuits such as walking, mountaineering, canoeing, hunting, fishing and in my case at least landscape photography. In fact I find the equipment suited to bushcraft often far exceeds the specification and usefulness of other high tech outdoor equipment.
