    Default Links Only

    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_...id=BCFF&cid=55
    Can't remember really... I think they sell hammocks and things.

    http://www.raymears.com/
    Speaks for its self.

    http://www.surplusandadventure.com
    Again, army surplus, some of their stuff can be a little cheap feeling but I have used them and the service is good.

    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.com/
    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/pr...ry.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

    Postcode Plants Database

    http://www.nhm.ac.uk/science/projects/fff/
    You enter part of a postcode and up pops a list of wild plants recorded in that area.

    http://www.nhm.ac.uk/science/projects/fff/Search.htm
    Where you can search the fauna database for individual animal species.

    Hope it might prove useful to some
