I basically gave up carrying a flashlight due to a lack of pocket space. I recently found this thing on Amazon and since then have been carrying it. It's freaking amazing (relative to its size). Side note - picked up the Matriarch Wave just in case the UK decides to go full tilt crazy and ban all fun things in life. Of course, can only carry it on private property, but that's just something I ...
Cyber Monday 2017 Knife & Outdoor Gear Deals
Back again with a Cyber Monday post, and just as I'd hoped, Amazon's deals are a lot better for knife aficionados - and hell even for outdoor gear junkies & survivalists - than Black Friday's sales were. Concentrating on Amazon & Blade HQ this time, because honestly they had the best deals we've seen today. Going to give you the links for all the Amazon & Blade HQ sales first, in ...
Black Friday 2017 Knife & Outdoor Gear Discounts
Welcome to our annual Black Friday Knife & Gear Deal Round up! This year (unlike last year) we have some pretty worthwhile Amazon deals you might want to jump on, though unlike last year, these are very, very few and far between, meaning we simply don't have much to show you, but those items we will show you are a lot more steeply discounted and more interesting pieces of kit (in our opinion) ...

It would be easy to over simplify the Shuffle II by saying that it's just a bigger Shuffle, but practically speaking, it's one hell of an ...
What’s In Your Bug Out Bag?
We've thought about doing a bug out bag guide so many times before it'd be impossible to count, but somehow in 4 years, still haven't actually published one. The why comes down to the fact that, unlike comprehensive lists - like of all the survival gear you might or might not want to have, or of all the first aid supplies you might entertain stashing in your at-home stockpile, bug out bags are ...
How to Treat a Burn: From Soothing to Healing
Being burned is a modern world reality. Not all of us have had a dislocated shoulder or severe lacerations, but I can almost guarantee that everyone reading this has been burned at least once. I find it interesting that there's typically so much advice/discussion within the scope of first aid revolving around cuts and fractures, but burns that can be even more painful and debilitating are ...
