TATONKA: TARP 4 TC

 Although often described as a 4m x 3mtarp by users, this very popular tarp actually measures in at approx 4m x2.85m, just a slight bit smaller, but still very useful and practical forbushcraft uses.

Having grown up in the age of fabric softeners and feather duvets Stuart has at last experienced how soft and sensitive Wool can be, in this review he really does seem to be converted to this old fashioned material with a modern twist, thanks to Rammite.

Fallkniven F1 knife (05.04.2007)
thumb_f11.JPG The F1 is a basic fixed blade knife with a 'drop-point' 3.5inch blade (made of VG 10 stainless steel) and a man-made (Thermorun) handle. Originally designed for use by Aircrew of the Swedish Defence Forces as a survival knife, as any survivor will tell you a 'survival-knife' is the one you have with you at the time, so the F1 is designed to be small & light enough to be carried at all times but robust enough to withstand the abuse it would encounter in a survival situation within the Arctic Circle...
Karrimor Sabre 45 Rucksack (12.12.2007)

thumb_saber45front.jpg

Sabre 45 is probably the rucksack that others are marked against in the bushcraft market. I was very interested to see what all the hype was about and if the real thing lived up to it all!

Bushman UK Knives (23.03.2007)
thumb_bushman_pair_1.jpgI rate these knifes very highly. Both in design and construction
Maxpedition Jumbo Versipack Review (03.07.2007)
thumb_Overview Bag.JPGI was intrigued by Spamel’s thread on the Snugpak Response Pak – or their other types of ‘grab-n-go’ bags - and what people carried in them. I’m a bit of a bag junkie, partly because of my work (military) and partly because of a quest to be able to carry the right equipment for the right job in practically any situation.  I guess the ‘Holy Grail’ is effectively a bag that you instinctively grab, without thinking about it, before you go off for an adventure.
Fire Steel (23.03.2007)
thumb_steelmain.jpgThe sparks that come off the steel, burn longer and hotter than anything I have used before. Sometimes they can sizzle away at 3000 degrees centigrade for a second or more,
BCB Crusader Mess TIn with Lid (05.07.2007)
thumb_crusadermesstin1.jpgThe mess tin is a solid stainless steel and relatively lightweight cooking vessel. It comes with a well fitting lid, which is a bonus compared with the old aluminium version which came without a lid. It saves precious fuel and makes your water (or whatever you are preparing in it) come to a boil significantly faster.
