Links Only

[Squidders]

I have often been looking for a link on here, or a place to find something that I want to buy or would like to check the prices out of and some times It can all get a little bogged down with controversy and opinion.

I think, if we could all stick a few links up for people or places that sell gear or services, it would be a good idea. As long as the only posts are links and not chat about the links it'll work. Dead links will just have to be ignored and any feedback put somewhere else but it would be nice when talking about something in another area of the forum to be able to point at one place for the link to the service or equipment provider.

Anyway, I hope some of mine are useful to someone and please please don't post anything about the links other than just a link and small line of text about what it is.

Cheers

Joe

I thought I would make it a sticky thread :wink: Good idea Joe :biggthump (Tone)

Small surplus outfit, sell some torches, basic survival equipment and some clothes, they have another name for another company that sells watches too.

http://www.army-surplus.co.uk/
They sell all sorts of army surplus, quite expensive but they have a large product line.

http://www.imsplus.com/
A US based company they will ship to the UK, they have quite a bit of stuff but some they won't ship to the UK (like fuse wire)

http://www.northernoutfitters.com
They sell stuff for extreme cold conditions... not to pricey too considering.

http://www.edirectory.co.uk/penrith_survival/pages/default.asp?recordid=BCFF&cid=55
Can't remember really... I think they sell hammocks and things.

http://www.raymears.com/

http://www.surplusandoutdoors.com
Good source of MREs and a other assorted surplus

http://www.the-outdoor.co.uk/
They sell just surplus and don't have a huge range of product but their stuff is good and all genuine really.

http://www.web-tex.co.uk/
They don't sell on their site but they do give you a good list of their products so you can ask for them elsewhere.

http://geneingramknives.blademakers.c om/
Same again.

http://www.outside.co.uk/
Great place for boots, tents, cooking equipment and most other things... no military or surplus stuff and can be a little expensive for some things.

http://www.terra-nova.co.uk/terra/productcategory.asp?catid=1
They sell cheap stuff that they call "second" it means there is a SLIGHT imperfection but a number of people who got stuff said they couldn't find anything wrong.

http://www.valiantco.com/
They sell some nice golok and parangs

http://www.woodlandorganics.com
Lots of nice to have bits, seem to be highly recommended

http://www.sofmilitary.co.uk
more of the same but with a military tilt.

http://www.armyrations.co.uk/
Good place for MREs and nothing else, they sell on ebay

http://www.bearclawbushcraft.co.uk
Good stuff and Gary seems like a top bloke... courses look good and v.good value. :biggthump

[fraz79]

My favourite online shops for buying gear, all of which, NOT coincidentally, have free delivery (in the UK)...


www.rvops.co.uk
Decent 'military style' gear shop (does fairly decent paracord at £3/15m)

www.bushgear.co.uk
Smallish selection, but can get a Mora for £7.95 including delivery

www.alpkit.com
Decent site that makes their own camping/outdoor gear. Smallish selection, but VERY cheap, & good quality stuff too. I can vouch for it!

[spamel]

Try Sierra Trading post for some bargains. They are US based but ship internationally, they have a funny postage pricing but this is how they make their money I suppose. I ordered two pairs of Sorel Caribous for US$165 delivered, I can't find a single pair that cheap in Germany!!

They do Lowe Alpine gear and North Face, in fact go and take a look. They are usually at huge discount prices and the only downside is they send lots of emails telling you what they have just reduced in price! :rolleyes:

There's also balistics nylon, pertex, various breathable fabrics, canvas, zips, tent pole kits etc. etc. Loads of stuff really, worth a look if it's a slow day at work.

A 500 page (PDF) Document, released by the (USA) National Park Service, The Journals of Richard 'Dick' Proenneke between 1974-1980 just a portion of his life living in the wild of Alaska, contains prior history, illustrations & photos. Those of you who have seen the superb 'Alone in the Wilderness' video and have read his books, you will know exactly what this is.

For those of you who dont know him, Dick Proenneke is a man at age 50 decided to give up modern life and go out to build his own log-cabin home at Twin-Lakes Alaska and live a life in the wild for 35 years. He documented his life with journals, photos and video.

50mb PDF - http://www.cr.nps.gov/history/online_books/lacl/proenneke.pdf - Right-Click and 'Save Target As'

The above document is the same book sold by Amazon.co.uk for £21.32 ('More Readings from One Man's Wilderness: The Journals of Richard L. Proenneke, 1974-1980') however it seems that it has been released into the public domain by the National Park Service and appears your fine to download an electronic PDF version. Star find if you ask me :D

all have tough times but the guys are doin there best
i never had any problems with em, ok some items
took a little time to get to me but i got the stuff and all was good!
Stop wasting time on slndering em for christ sake the world
is ugly and tough enough!

[Toddy]

I can't let that last link stand without some repudiation.

Anyone wishing to buy from Surplus & Adventure please read the other threads on their sales record.
Personally I have always, finally, got what I ordered; many others weren't so fortunate.

Also, this is the internet...........we're not the only forum out there who have long running saga threads about this company.........even the pigeon fanciers have complaint threads about them :rolleyes:

Definitely, "Caveat Emptor!", and best advice is to go into the shop if you really want to buy from them. The appeal of their bargains wears thin otherwise.
