The American brand "5.11 Tactical" was founded in the US state of California. Upon climber Royal Robbins reaching the top of a climb in Yosemite California, he noticed that the trousers that he was wearing were not suited for climbing. Robbins decided that he needed to design something more durable and with better functionality. Began manufacturing pants by the name of "5.11" in 1968.
The name "5.11" comes from the highest rock climbing difficulty level that was listed in the Yosemite Decimal System at Yosemite National Park, which was developed by Robbins in the 1950s.
In 2003, the brand acquired its current form. Now it focuses not only on climbers and outdoor, but also supplies its products to the FBI, the military, police, firefighters, rescuers, the Coast Guard, the Mountain Service and other services around the world.
The FBI has been working with the "5.11" brand since 1992, when it began using its pants to train its agents.
More infoIf the weather is good, all you need to sleep under the sky is a blanket. In the worst case, you can use a bivouac bag. The advantage of sleeping under the sky is the minimum load, because you carry only the essentials. Of course, we offer both, picnic blankets and bivouac bags. An interesting way to sleep in nature is to sleep in a hammock.
Building a shelter is not a science, but some skill is needed. Even today, in the age of tents, there are people who enjoy this way of sleeping outside. At Armed you will find tents and sails, even original army tents with poles. A rubber band will definitely be suitable for building a shelter.
Most people going to nature, however, choose a tent. Its position requires (mostly) almost no skill and the poles are color-coded, so the tent is set up within several minutes. Going under a tent, you definitely want to cook something good. Take a look at our cookers.
If you are organizing a children's camp, we can recommend a military tent, that is suitable for accommodating a large number of people.
