It's called research. Helps you get what you want without fannying about.

Because some £5 kit its useless rubbish while some can be a hidden Gem, it's especially valuble to ask around when talking about more expensive items like coats which reviews from others can be very useful.

Plus we like to talk about Kit it's a large part of the site.

i knew this would get it going.i like kit and i asking about a jacket etc maybe ok but dont you think that somtimes kit becomes more important than the reason for the kit.i include myself in that.the first place i go is the kit section but maybe we are going in the wrong direction.

I take reviews seriously too.

In RL, though, its just whatever I can lay my hands upon.

I don't think kit ever becomes more important than bushcrafting, it is the love of bushcrafting that leads you to buy kit, not vice versa.
