Who is The Kit Bloke?

Hi, I’m john – The Kit Bloke.

I’m the maker, curator, and hands-on tinkerer behind The Kit Bloke also lifelong outdoors enthusiast with a simple goal: make survival and first aid kits that actually make sense. Ever since I first built my own field kit for weekend hikes, I’ve believed that the difference between being worried and being ready comes down to preparation and purpose. I’ve spent years learning what works and what’s just marketing fluff. I started The Kit Bloke to create practical gear that’s reliable, compact, and genuinely useful in the real world.

Every survival and medical kit I produce is handmade in the UK, rooted in real-world experience. I choose every component with intention: nothing is there just for show. Every tool must pull its weight, but I’ll also lean on design and aesthetics where possible. Whether you’re a weekend wanderer, a seasoned outdoors-man, or someone who just wants peace of mind, my aim is to equip you for life’s unpredictable moments without burdening you with unnecessary gear.

At The Kit Bloke you’ll find:

• Practical, multifunctional kits built for real use
• Quality and care in every detail — from materials to packing techniques
• Fast UK dispatch (I know you want gear when you need it)
• A guarantee of satisfaction — because your trust is everything

When you choose a kit from me, you’re not buying off the shelf. You’re getting years of learning, field testing, attention to detail — and the confidence that comes from being genuinely prepared.

Welcome to The Kit Bloke — and here’s to adventures handled well.
