Camping
Everyday Carry Brass Compass Keyring
These Everyday Carry Brass Compass Keyrings are made in Minnesota and come with an unlimited, lifetime warranty. Which is not something you hear all that often in today’s world of flimsy plastic nonsense. Each of the compasses are waterproof, weatherproof and made from solid brass.
Unbelievable Pocket Chain Saw
This is the “Unbelievable Pocket Chain Saw”, it’s a fantastic little piece of gear to toss into the rucksack before a weekend out in the mountains.
Nano 7 Hammock by Grand Trunk
The Nano 7 Hammock by Grand Trunk is a fantastic, 7 ounce piece of kit that rolls up into a little bag that’ll fit in the palm of your hand.
Tentsile Stingray Tent
This is quite easily the coolest tent that I’ve ever come across. It’s called the ‘Tentsile Stingray’ and it’s a tent that can be set up on the ground normally, or suspended in the air with the aid of 3 high-capacity tree-straps.
Crovel Extreme II Survival Shovel
The Crovel Extreme II is the follow-up to the now world famous Crovel Extreme I, a tactical survival shovel that packs over a dozen tools into a single, mid-sized utility shovel.
Double Bit Cruiser Axe by Base Camp X
This is the Double Bit Cruiser Axe by Base Camp X, it’s exactly the sort of thing I’d like to have hanging over the fireplace in my log cabin in Montana. Once I get around to owning a log cabin in Montana.
US Army Field Manuals (Set of 3)
US Army Field Manuals are well-known and highly respected by campers, soldiers, survivalists, hikers and “preppers” – there are over 600 different books in total so the team at Best Made collected the top 3 and created a set that can be bought via their website for $22 USD. That seems like a pretty good deal considering the fact that if you ever find yourself actually needing them, money will likely only be useful to you as kindling.
Commando Knife by Perkin Knives
Perkin Knives is a UK based company that specialises in producing Damascus steel knives, hatchets and axes.
EDC Kit by Kaufmann Mercantile

Bawidamann Blade POGN L Cord Wrap
The paracord wrapped handle on the Bawidamann Blade POGN is designed to be a usable element in survival situation, it’s a nice touch that makes the knife quite a bit more valuable than just a sharpened piece of steel.
