Review – Karrimor SF Sabre 60-100
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…

Survivalist – Choosing a Pack
After a few months of shopping, I finally picked up a pack for all my travel and adventures and it really did take a lot of looking before I decided on one that suited my needs. I’ll do a seperate review of the one I’ve been using, but I wanted to talk about how I…

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…

Airsoft Walks – an introduction
DO NOT GO FOR WALKS IN FULL TACTICAL KIT. This isn’t that sort of walk. Screen time is becoming the norm for many people. Whether at work, or sitting at home scrolling endlessly through Instagram reels. In Airsoft, we have an energetic game day at the weekend and then return home to sit and argue…

Review – Helikon Pakcell Set
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…
