Snugpak Jungle bag
Written by Mark Aspell   
junglebag2.jpg I’m really pleased to say this compression sack is large enough to get the bag in easily and will compress to about half its length, making the overall size of the fully packed bag about the size of a grapefruit.

A new Generation of Headlamp (18.07.2008)
zebralight2thumb.jpgSuch is the lure of these shiny objects on the male psyche that a number of dedicated collectors’ forums exist, inhabited by the silhouetted forms of men squinting at light meters, bathed in the brilliant glow of their own personal supernovas, mumbling incoherently about Lux, Lumens and thermal runaway.
Caldera Cone - Initial Review (09.06.2008)

caldera_cone_-_initial_-_boiling.jpgI've been playing around with various Pepsi can stoves for a while now and was intrigued when I saw how many reviews this little stove was getting, light and efficient what more could you want???

Tilley T3 Hat (04.06.2008)
tilley3.jpgHow many hats are guaranteed for life with a no quibble agreement?  The T3 is!  How many manufacturers insure the hat against loss or damage?  The T3 has a 2-year, all perils 50% deductible policy attached!
Gerber Multitool (02.06.2008)
gerbertool4.jpgThe jungle is a harsh environment for such an item because the tool was wet or the majority of the time. However, it stood up very well with little sign of rusting or corrosion even after coming back and allowing it to stand for a while.
Byrd Wrench (29.05.2008)
byrdwrench7.jpgUnique in its field, the Wrench is not based on the standard pliers set-up like every other model on the market but on a sliding adjustable pliers design
Snugpak Rocketpak (08.05.2008)

rocketpackthumbnail.jpgThe 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.

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...

thumb_bushman_pair_1.jpgI rate these knifes very highly. Both in design and construction
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!

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.
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.
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,
