Raider Magazine Vol 8 Issue 5 Vorige editie

Greetings from a manic editorial office! It’s my own fault, I mean, taking a holiday?! It does mean that I’m furiously trying to finish this issue before deadline. On the upside there is no lack of content, this month we take a look at the new Dual Jackal bag from Highlander – it missed our Every Day Carry shoot-out but it has a neat trick that makes it well worth checking out.
Also from Highlander is the Blade Fast Boil, as the name suggests a quick-fire camp stove just ideal for long treks or simply making sure you get your caffeine fix while you’re out in the country.
We review the Commando Soft-shell jacket – designed by a former Royal Marine Commando and it shows, this new shell jacket is big on features that work and very low on weight. It could be the perfect stowaway jacket this season.
We review Robin Neillands’ book, “Battle for the Rhine – 1944” and give it a big thumbs up for taking a dispassionate look at the evidence surrounding the know well-known stories of the battle for Arnhem and the Battle of the Bulge. Some of the truths uncovered may well surprise you. We also look again at one of the best books to come out of the Vietnam war, Dispatches by Michael Herr.

Survival takes a break this month – we simply have so many things to review amongst them a slew of lightweight boots from Hi-Tec, this may be the time to treat your feet.
Until the next issue, have fun and stay safe!
