£30.00 Buy Now	Blizzard survival bag Blizzard survival bag. Very effective silver foil sleeping bag for emergency / intentional use. Double layers of fabric create a warm zone of still air, giving warmth equivalent to a 1 - 2 season sleeping bag. Neither very light nor very compact (it won't fit in a helmet or down a boot!)it is massively more effective than the traditional orange survival bag, let alone lighter versions. Excellent kit. Combine one or two of these with a group shelter, a small cooking pot, and a hexi stove, to... More Info
£17.00 Buy Now	Blizzard survival blanket small Blizzard survival bag small. The same material as the larger blanket, and the bag, but less of it. Less coverage, and lack of the sticky edging to create a snug fit around the body, make this a less comfortable proposition than the other two products in this line. It is, however, lighter and significantly cheaper; and still much warmer than a single layer of plastic sheeting. Incidentally, a good way to stop your belayer getting hypothermic in the course of a protracted bolt climb... More Info

£16.50 Buy Now	Edelrid Ropetooth knife Edelrid Ropetooth folding lock knife. Solid handle, sharp serrated blade well suited for rope cutting, large hole in main body ideal for clipping in to an oval karabiner. The Ropetooth has two other very valuable features: i. a small textured knob on the handle facilitates one handed opening (potentially very useful if the user can only free one hand - did you see '127 Hours'?) ii. the blade locks when opened, significantly reducing the chance of injury should the blade close unintentionally. A... More Info
£3.50 Buy Now	Hexamine stove Hexamine stove. Basically, the military solid fuel cooker as used with ration packs for donkeys' years. Utterly robust, comes in its own burner / pot stand. Burns in most conditions which are not outright windy, and using solid fuel means that you can easily see how much burn capacity you have left. Will not flare (although it burns with a big flame)or otherwise misbehave if you put it in a tackle bag and treat it roughly. But - not for use in enclosed spaces! This means not in a tent, or some... More Info

Very useful to keep personal effects safe and dry in bigger group bags where space is at a premium,... More Info
£17.00 Buy Now	Petzl Fixe pulley Petzl Fixe pulley. Simple, sturdy, fix cheeked pulley for hauling, simple tyroleans, and self rescue. Carry one of these and two oval krabs with your basic SRT rig, and it is possible to create an effective pulley jammer system (as long as you know how to make it in the first place). Simple bearing, so not as low friction as bigger models. However, it is small enough to carry unnoticed, until it is needed. Also works in conjunction with a Mini - or Pro traxion to make a very effective 2:1... More Info
£59.00 Buy Now	Petzl Micro Traxion Petzl Micro Traxion. Very small and light multi-purpose pulley-jammer. Weighing 85g and with side dimensions less than a bank card, the Micro Traxion functions as a pulley, a pulley jammer combination, and an improvised hand ascender. The pulley is a sealed bearing, which makes it resistant to mud, grit, and ice; and makes it much more efficient than its size would imply. It rates as more efficient than the larger Mini Traxion, and a little less efficient than the Pro Traxion - a much bigger,... More Info
£81.00 Buy Now	Petzl Pro Traxion Petzl Pro traxion pulley jammer. A larger, heavier, but more easily operated integrated pulley jammer than the Mini traxion. More effective low friction bearings, and the sides swing apart more easily when required. Designed for more serious rescue hauling, it is frequently used by rescue teams and professional cavers. Not generally an item of personal kit, but taking a pair away on a trip abroad, putting them in a bag with spare ropes and a couple of bolt kits - and having a plan!- is a step... More Info
