    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…

    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…

    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…

    A look at the DPM Ops Vest – the latest addition to my load bearing cupboard. Cheap, basic, often overlooked. It’s one that most players will see on eBay and bypass because it’s not the latest, but it’s definitely one of the greatest. So I picked one up on eBay for £15 to do a…

    Good gear makes a good player. Good gear is not expensive gear. Good gear is the right gear. We are blessed in Airsoft to have vast amounts of kit available from nearly every military on the planet, plus a lot of Airsoft companies producing cheaper versions, plus their own designs, and you can even play…

    Stirling’s annual England vs Scotland match is quite unlike anything else on the calendar. As far as I’m aware, it’s the only Airsoft International matchup anywhere in the world. The highest level of the game, it’s competitive, serious and extremely challenging, with 75 players selected for each team going at it relentlessly over two days…

    There are a lot of game-changing guns and parts hitting the market at the moment. From new MOSFETs, to hop units, new ghillie suits and low-cost thermal optics. Smaller rigs, lighter rigs. If you want the edge in Airsoft, perhaps you have a tournament coming up or you want your Instagram profile to absolutely blow…

    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…
