Bear Grylls Fire Starter
I guess I’m drawing to the end of this little series that has run for a couple of weeks in which I’ve looked at the survival kits and knives promoted by Gerber and Bear Grylls. On balance I’ve found most offer good-enough quality at a reasonable price. Perhaps the best comes last because I think [...]
