A selection of the tried and trusted... updated in 2013 from the 2010 version.
Snugpak Stratosphere
A new meaning to bivvying.
PB 207 blue flame lighter
Saves rubbing two bits of wood together
Frosts Clipper
Excellent knife for under £10 - I still use mine.
Woolpower balaclava
Essential winter hammock wear - do not enter banks wearing this.
Karrimor Sabre 75
So versatile – add side pockets and you’ve got 100 litres!
Leatherman Charge TTI
Always in my possible pouch.
Vivo Off-Roads
Excellent boot boot for trackers! No padding or lumps and bumps. As close to barefoot as you’ll get. Brilliant protection from thorns and 100% waterproof.
Alpkit Gamma headtorch.
Red Green and white LEDs in one torch. HOW MUCH!! £12.50! I’ll have two!
Tracpac billy set
What more do you want for £14-00? I use the smallest one. The others can be made into hobo stoves.
Bruseletto Leuku
Simple, cheap and effective large knife.
Woolpower base layer
200g is enough to ward of the British winter
Exped Down Mat
It’s more important to get insulation under you than on top. Exped is the way to go.
Alpkit down bags
Great price - great bag
Wool and possum fur hat
Great for sitting around the winter fire.
Fjallaven
This is as close to a wide-brim hat as I get!
Hogs of Fife headwear
The Scots know something about weather – so why not?
Buff
Multi-functional head or neckwear. I think I'll get this colour!
Camelbak Cloudwalker
Technical lightweight daysack. I always come back to this as a light daysack.
EKA Nordic W11
Great all round sub-£100 bushy style knife
DD hammock and Tatonka tarp
The only way to sleep out in summer (or winter).
Silky saw
Possibly better than the Bahco
Snowsled
Not the cheapest ventile about – but if its good enough for Ran Fiennes, it’s good enough for me.
Ganfors Bruks
Still the best axe around.
Yellow flip-flops
Every 'shrafter should have some!
Bushbuddy stove & Crusader cup
Natural fuel and a stainless receptacle
Mini Trangia
Lightweight and reliable meths cookset . Take the burner out and add it to the tracpac billy and bushbuddy. Voila!
Primus Litech Frying pan
Probably the most versatile piece cookware you’ll ever have.
Nato water bottle
Mine says 1976. I was issued it when I joined the British Army - and it's still going. Great for use as a hot water bottle in winter!
Deer Hunter Gamestalker 2 Smock.
If your going to go cammo – go Deerhunter or Mad Dog. I love this smock for its in-built mossy net and large horizontal front pocket.
