    One pack for all situations. The SF in the name tells you exactly what this pack is designed for, and after six months of getting lugged around, it doesn’t disappoint. I needed a new pack for all my travels, milsims, wild camping and hiking. In the previous article I talked about what I was looking…

    Now the first thing I grab any time I’m heading outdoors, the A192 is an exceptionally good piece of kit. I’ll do a quick look at the product first, and then explain where it fits into my kit and why. For a few years now, I’ve had one of these at the top of my…

    Are you special? Do you want to be? Should you be? This week, a friend sent me a Reddit post about load bearing in Airsoft. It was an interesting read, lots of different opinions. Then I saw a comment about a plate carrier. They’re just not an option for me in any situation. His response…

    Whether it’s travelling, hiking, camping, bushcraft or Milsim, being and staying organised is absolutely essential. Not only do you need to make sure you have everything you need, you need to be able to find it in your kit when you want it. I do a lot of the above, and recently invested in a…

    What are you actually doing in a game? I mean, there are times when I look at people and think “What the actual fuck are you doing?”, but I mean in general. It’s June 2024, and at the moment I’m watching England absolutely flop in the group stages of Euro 2024, although the nation remains…

    Gucci Airsoft kit is everywhere these days. The term broadly applies to expensive kit, rather than being designed by some Italian fashion house that gave the world items that look like they were made from old curtains. Appropriate for some players though… How much of a difference does Gucci kit make to your game though,…

    Carrying kit is vital. And every event has a different requirement in terms of what you need to take. In previous articles, I’ve talked about how I get away with an easy life at most airsoft weekenders because it’s usually camping from the car park, and you can carry as much as you need to…

    Looking at putting together a Gothic Serpent kit for a Black Hawk Down event later this year. It is, by a mile, my favourite film and in all the years playing I’ve managed to do a BHD-sim only once, with Stirling Airsoft at Catterick. On that occasion, the team and I stretched only to a…

    Sniping successfully is a test of your overall skills vs that of your opponent, but there are ways and means of getting ahead of the game and giving yourself advantages. And I don’t mean breaking rules, like hot guns/cheating chrono, spawn camping, or being unethical by trying to run a ghillie with a minigun or…
