In the lead up to Christmas we’ve been working with the team at Huckberry to see if we can find a way to give away some of their great gear to our readers, so here’s the deal:
Take a look at the stuff we’ve featured here and decide which you’d find the most useful, then click the link and spend 14 seconds signing up with Huckberry (it’s a members-only store). Once you’ve done that you’ll need to click either the Facebook Like button above this post or the Facebook Share button below it (hopefully you actually do like us and it isn’t just an internet thing).
Once you’ve done those 2 things you’re in the running for 1 of 3 prizes, we’ll be randomly selecting the winners and announcing them by name on Facebook in 7 days. If you’re 1 of the 3 winners you’ll be entitled to pick anything you see listed here and if you’ve already bought one, Huckberry will let you choose an alternative from the list.

It’s second function is as a self-defence weapon, although it may look relatively unassuming it’s actually capable of causing quite a bit of damage in the right hands, making is a useful item to have on you in parts of the world where knife carrying is illegal or ill-advised.
The GORUCK GR1 Rucksack is an all-American made bag that’s probably the single toughest thing you can strap to your back this side of a Navy Seal, each of these bags is staggeringly well made and they’ve always been hugely popular when we’ve featured them on Silodrome in the past.
