Really useful kit to practice. I bought an extra for the grandkids to teach them some hands on skills away from the screens so many spend their spare time on

Bought a hat of each colour!!! :)
The hats fit great and arrived quickly!!! I usually have a hard time finding headwear that fits my coconut, but these were perfect and I will definitely enjoy wearing them often throughout the year. I also love that the design has very woodland-looking neutral tones of a nice double double coffee colour for the mesh part, and a nice olive green or brown for the panels. The logo is high quality raised stitching which looks really nice, and there is no gawdy mishmash of wording, logos and bright colours. This is a hat that will blend in quietly in the bush or on the campsite. Thanks DJ!!!! :

DJ has ALWAYS given quality products the hat I bought has held up though hell and back stained with dirt, mud, ash, and oil and still hold like new. I just purchased the Bucksaw and I will change this if it doesn't hold to my high standards but I'm sure it will be as good as I'm know it will be. Cannot Recommend them Enoug

I just received the Saw n Axe Sling. Great craftsmanship and design. Far superior to other slings that I researched online. Now I'm waiting for my Bucksaw to be completed and I'll be ready to rock! I just now ordered another sling that I plan on gifting to a buddy for his camp axe

I got one of these saws years ago after seeing it at the outdoor show.
Best saw I have ever used, The silkys are great, but the blades are expensive and I find they go fast.
These use regular blades, and honestly because they are wood and very solidly made i find they have less vibration and a better feel than all of the other collapsible bucksaw style saws. I have literally tried every saw that is popular now, and this is the one i chose to keep.
Great work
