Following the recent overhaul of my Ghillie Materials Guide, I’ve now completely rewritten its companion article, Ghillie Guide – Choosing a Base. A lot has changed since the original guide was published in 2019, both in the equipment available and in how I approach building camouflage. The updated article looks at why ordinary military BDUs…

Ghillie Guide – Materials to Use: Updated for 2026
A lot has changed in ghillie construction since I first published my materials guide back in 2019. Over the years, new materials have appeared, techniques have improved, and my own experience has changed how I approach building camouflage.

Building your first Airsoft loadout
The beginner’s guide to choosing kit. Where do you start and what do you buy? Thankfully, not as much as you might think. It looks daunting at times, seeing players online dripping in thousands of pounds/dollars/local currency of gear running around their local site, but it’s largely just cosplay. Certainly when you start Airsoft, you…

What’s wrong with an AEG?
Why do we prefer a GBBR or an HPA rifle these days? Or even a pistol? The humble electric or AEG gets a lot of stick but I still think it’s by far the best platform. In response to a conversation at Chemical Airsoft in Manchester last week, let’s talk guns… Ahh, electric powered adult…

Positive and Negative space in Camouflage
An important concept for anyone who has an interest in camouflage, it is often overlooked but can make all the difference to your suit (or whatever you want to camouflage). Explaining it though, when you ask any Airsoft sniper, is a little tricky. If I asked a hundred Airsoft snipers, I’d get a hundred different…
