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…

Short term camping vs Long term camping
Shit hitting the fan? Survival essentials? Or just better camping kit choices? A look at evolving the overnight bag a little to meet new challenges. I do like camping.

Milsim Meal Time
Food is important. On a milsim though, kitchen space and time are both limited. MRE’s are an option, but are expensive and not to everyone’s liking. However, a trip to the local supermarket can get the job done for much less, and give you more choice and avoid playing ration pack lottery with the meal…
