I can remember the first web belt I got. It was made from very heavy canvas with brass fittings and it was very, very old looking and smelled like it had been around a very long time. I still have that belt along with some other bits of kit that I managed to save over the years. It all reminds me of my Father's war stories and all the time I spent as a kid in awe of him and his exploits during WWII

For whatever reason, my fascination for gear never died and I still enjoy fiddling around with all sorts of military kit. For the most part it's Russian stuff but in this section I'll try to review some non-Russian goods as well.

If you have reviews, articles, or pics of gear you'd like to share, you can email me.

Enjoy.
