These are just links for equipment. It's where I go when I need some hard to find stuff. these are all brit/commonwealth companies. I actually prefer brit/commonwealth kit over most of ours. Less novelty effects in my opinion. the commonwealth people, from my experiences, are more basic, and down to earth, and ive tried to mold alot of my ways from them when training with em.

Update: The list is really coming along at this point. Hopefully it can be a comprehensive resource and people can post their favorite reades and provide reviews (pro or con) of different books. I'll keep the list as up to date as possible.

At this point in time we don't have many books on hunting. Of course you'd need a rifle out in the wild to make use of that, but I think it would be worth having a basic hunting book in this collection.
