The Off-Grid Toolbox

Working in the woodlands and tree nurseries most days of the year we have found certain tools indispensable. We also share an interest in bushcraft and living in balance with nature. To do this there are a few fundamental tools required - many of which are so elemental they have been used in one form or another by humans for thousands of years.

Cutting tools such as axes and knives, fire flints and cordage are all included. Our philosophy is that a tool that is made to the highest quality standard will last a life time and enable it's user to work effectively and efficiently with little or no waste of energy or resources.

 

 

To this end we are very pleased to now be stocking a few choice items such as the hand made Gransfors axes. Please visit our Off Grid Toolbox on our Hand Tools page. We will be adding to this selection shortly.
