Survival & Equipment

These chaps are so economical that it is worth keeping a couple in the car and around the home. They are so easy to use and can literally be life savers. Originally developed for military use they now form part of many emergency packs around the world.

A gem from Swiss+Tech® is their ultra bright keyring flashlight. This is a perfect gift item and fun to boot.

We love items that are seen as the best in their field. The Feuerhand Hurricane Lantern is one such piece of original equipment. This item has been made handmade in Germany since 1902 and it has not changed much. Evolution has delivered a best in class product and although to many people oil lamps are from a bygone age to those that know this is a reliable lamp that will perform time and time again.

As the Boy Scouts say “Be Prepared”. This deluxe Aluminium Snow Shovel is the perfect item to stash away in the car and hopefully never need. It is a three piece item, light weight and takes up little space in your vehicle. We never know when we are likely to get snow but this tool may just prove a life saver for you or perhaps another stranded motorist.

The Paracord Compass combines two great survival tools.

This Military Marching Compass is liquid filled to protect against excessive swing or wobble which improves readability and reduces wear.

We stopped to catch our breath at Snowbird in the Rockies and our guide pulled out his Cat Crap. We fell about laughing but soon learnt that this is a great product used by boarders, skiers and mountaineers all over the USA. This handy little kit has all you need for maintaining all types of valuable optics. Included is the popular Cat Crap lens cleaner and anti-fog treatment, a microfiber cloth and a versatile optic screw driver.
