Peat identification / fire risk
Longtime lurker - first time poster.
There are many posts here about fires, safety, and leave-no-trace decisions, etc. My question assumes we are making a fire on the ground (assumes that we have permission to create a fire and leave-no-trace isn't an issue) - we still have concerns about the risk of fire igniting peat in the ground, tree roots, etc, and want to light fires responsibly.
My question is: how do you identify land with peaty soil, making it a no-go for fire lighting? I've found the UK Soil Observatory website (www.ukso.org/) which has some awesome maps showing areas of peaty ground, but I have no idea if this data is granular enough to be reliable for decide where to light a fire. As an example, it shows a lot of the south-east of the UK being non-peat soil. So how would you identify peaty soil, or other risks (buried tree roots) to avoid it?
Thanks in advance!

Fire!
As I’m new to bushcraft I have a question. I’m aware of the leave no trace rules. My assumption so far is that I can build shelters on most land from dead things as long as I take them down etc.
I had also assumed fires in the wild are not allowed but I have seen YouTube bushcraft people lighting fires in the woods across the UK. Is that ok? What are the rules on that? (Other than being safe etc)

I will be camping most of the spring for the new youtube channel. Planning to do it in the north, any recommendations will be paid a reward later 😛

Wanting to start bushcraft in North Yorkshire but need tips!
Hi all, first time poster so forgive me if I leave a bunch of mistakes everywhere!
I've been wanting to get into bushcraft for years but never had the opportunity to. I've since moved to North Yorkshire and have the opportunity to start getting into the hobby. Do you guys have any tips/tricks/recommendations for a complete newbie?
Thanks in advance!

Is this really useless ?
So I saw a comment the other day from a fellow Redditor who seemed a tad upset that a lot of Bushcraft posts / skills were just being done in front of the fire at home….this is my fireside feathers that in fact the other half actually quite likes….I say practice is practice but what do you think ?

Recommendations for an Arctic mothership
Looking for options for an overcoat to use in Northern Finland in Winter. I like the anorak style, and also longer jackets in the parka style. Ideally in Ventile fabric, with a fur hood included or option to add one on myself. Not interested in gore tex. Appreciate your thoughts!

Woodland Wildcamp Spot Yorkshire or The Peak District.
I know people are usually opposed to giving out their spots. However does anyone know of any nice woodland spots in Yorkshire or The Peak District that might be suitable for an overnight Wildcamp?

Greetings from the USA! I just picked up my first Martindale machete...
... and I was hoping someone might be able to offer a little insight. It's a paratrooper machete. I just thought the design was really interesting to be honest, and I thought it had a lot of potential. For such a small machete, it has a lot of heft. When and where were these first issued? What kind of sheath do they come with? Is the top edge meant to be sharpened, or maintained as a false edge? I found it really unique. What was the initial intent with the point and the back edge? Thanks in advance!
