Out with the old, in with the new?
Old kit vs new kit. And I’m not talking about second hand purchases. Is modern equipment as good as the old surplus gear? In recent articles I’ve been working on a new section called Survivalist, where I’m looking to put together a 72hr kit for all conditions, from Milsims to wild camping. As a long…

The Transition
Out with the old, in with the new? I’m an absolute gear whore. My house is absolutely loaded with kit and there are always trips and opportunities to go visit surplus stores and collect more. If you follow my socials, or indeed the blog, you’ll know I have a preference for the 1980’s/90’s/Early 2000’s British…

Airsoft Black Hawk Down(pt 1)
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…
