| Snugpak Rocketpak (08.05.2008) |
|
The rucksack is designed to be worn over military belt pouches, which means it rides high on the back. The belt is in actually fact a waist belt rather than a hip belt and fits around the waist.| Karrimor Dry bag (06.05.2008) |
|
Thankfully we didn’t need to test this theory! The dry bag sat nicely in the bottom of the rucksacks and, as there are no valves or anything complicated to remember...| Leatherman Vista Hunting Multi-tool (28.04.2008) |
|
John Fenna reviews the Leatherman Vista Multi-tool: Made to the same high standards that have made Leatherman Tools world famous, the Vista is very well engineered, the shears being ultra sharp and having an extra wide opening to the smoothly closing jaws for tackling thicker wood.| Fjallraven: Vintage 20 (19.04.2008) |
 The main body of the Vintage 20, the lid and side pockets are made from Fjallraven’s famous impregnated 65/35% polycotton G1000

| Magfire: Fire Starter Tinder (17.04.2008) |
 I do not know if others have tried this product, but when your kit is
too wet for friction firelighting, there is no silver birch around and
your cotton wool is wet, this is a sure fire way to get a fire going

| Fjällraven Greenland Trousers (01.04.2008) |
 Ray Mears has a Midas touch - of that, there’s no doubt. The Fjällraven Forester trousers, advertised by Woodlore et al, have shot off the shelves

| Fallkniven F1 knife (05.04.2007) |
 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...

| Bushman UK Knives (23.03.2007) |
 I rate these knifes very highly. Both in design and construction

| Maxpedition Jumbo Versipack Review (03.07.2007) |
 I 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.

| Karrimor Sabre 45 Rucksack (12.12.2007) |
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! |
| Fire Steel (23.03.2007) |
 The 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) |
 The 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.
