For working or surviving the outdoors in wet weather you may need more than an umbrella! A good quality waterproof jacket, waterproof trousers, or waterproof poncho is essential.
For sleeping outdoors in warm dry weather you may need simply a groundsheet (bivi sheet) and waterproof sleeping bag. If you prefer some protection try using a basha (bivi sheet) or waterproof poncho to build a shelter.
For cooking outdoors your choice of camping stove will partly depend on cost, fuel availability, weight and what you intend to cook. Our small portable cooker with fuel blocks the Hexi Stove is light and ideal for re-heating foods, soups, or hot drinks. The swedish army trangia is heavier but is a complete cooking set which runs on cheap methylated spirits. Or choose the compact single camp cooker with screw-on gas cartridge for simplicity and instant heat.
NEW camping cookers for next season now available.
Our mosquito head net and mosquito bed net combined with our DEET insect repellent can provide some added protection against insect bites. Insect repellent containing DEET is recommended as the most effective form of bite-preventive treatment.

Air soft guns are totally harmless providing safety rules are observed. Airsoft shooting is probably one of the safest and most popular sports enjoyed in the world today. Observe the law and observe your and other peoples safety at all times.
An instruction manual is included with each airsoft gun.
They fire 6mm plastic BB gun bullets and are intended for target shooting and 'plinking'.
BB Guns are low in power which is measured in joules. One joule being the maximum of any model with some as low as 0.02 joules. As a comparison, 0.5 joules equals the bounce back force of a tennis ball dropped onto a hard surface from just 1 metre high.
An instruction manual is included with each airsoft gun, explaining the function of the model and the safety rules to respect. Most airsoft guns are powered by air and plunger systems but there are also gas, electric and CO2 powered models.
You must be over 18 to buy our bb guns and we do not ship them outside of the UK.
There is a wide choice of sleeping bags available so you need to choose your sleeping bag according to your intended use. If you are likely to be encountering freezing and unpredicatable weather then you must go for a high quality, well insulated sleeping bag. If you are just out for a nights' camping in the summer then a lighter weight, cheap sleeping bag may suffice. Sleeping bags do not give warmth but they retain the warmth of your body heat.
Sleeping bags are most commonly available in 3 basic shapes: mummy, tapered or rectangular. Mummy shaped sleeping bags are efficient at providing the best warmth per weight ratio but are close fitting. Rectangular bags are most commonly used for general camping. Tapered bags provide more room than the mummy type and still compact down for easy portability.
Sleeping bags may be down filled or synthetic. Goose down is light and very warm but generally more expensive and difficult to dry if it gets weight. Synthetic sleeping bags are widely available, for all seasons and easy to dry if necessary.
