This site was created in 2015 and exists for a number of reasons, but primarily as a free resource of information for anyone with some interest in military uniforms and load carrying equipment. Be they collector, sports player, gamer, serving military, police, or anything else.
Personally, I initially took an interest in this area when I got my first BB gun around 2003, I then took up airsoft in 2006 before beginning my career in the RAF in 2007. I had been intrigued by the idea of uploading clips from computer games to YouTube even before I joined up, then I realised there was a lack of good informational videos about airsoft and kit so I had a go at uploading some of those. Originally I started a Facebook page just as a way to spread the word about the YouTube videos, but after a while I realised I was better at photographing and writing about kit over trying to talk about it to a camera. Given that social media is poor at both formatting articles and being an archive for information, the next logical step was to make a website; so here it is.
As you will note there is no pay wall, there are no ads or pop-ups of any kind. This is a totally free resource of all the information I have been able to gather about interesting military/tactical kit, along with some miscellaneous posting of related hobbies that are often enjoyed by collectors.
