1948 Original Equipment

1948 Original Equipment has been conceived from experience, necessity and a desire to shape the future. Many great explorers, sportsmen and pioneers have made subtle modifications to their equipment to make tomorrow a little better. A group of friends, following in these footsteps, decided to do the same and 48 OE was born. We are a specialist company that provides equipment, clothing and gear for anyone interested in expeditions, travel and the great outdoors.

Our very own 1948 Land Rover inspired us to appreciate how good things can last. Our own travels have broadened an appreciation of nature, landscape and community. This and a feeling of responsibility steers our product selection. We understand that not everyone has a green agenda, but when we can, let’s do the right thing. We have chosen to power our office and warehouse with green electricity and use where possible recycled packaging.

By buying products that will last and that can be repaired, we can all do our bit. Disposable fashion may have become a trend in some quarters – we think it is wrong and want to reverse this. We do not want to preach but just offer a way of ‘Thinking a little differently’.

Fjällräven

Fjällräven’s story began in 1960 when a young man named Åke Nordin started manufacturing innovative framed backpacks from his basement in the Swedish town of Örnsköldsvik. In the years that followed, Ake’s stubborn belief that there must always be a practical solution to staying comfortable while outdoors meant the company’s range expanded rapidly.

Building on the success of its early backpacks, Fjällräven launched the first ever double-layered tent in 1964. This was followed four-years later by Fjällräven’s history-defining Greenland Jacket and the introduction of its durable and adaptable, G-1000 fabric. Over the next few decades, these innovations were joined by products you’ll recognise from the current collection. The Kånken in 1978, the Canada Shirt in 1976 and later on, in 1999, the Vidda Trousers. Largely unchanged since they were first introduced, these and all other Fjällräven product are designed with the brand’s characteristic timeless design, making them just as popular today as when they were originally launched.

Fjällräven is arguably best known for its G-1000 fabric. Used across the brand’s extensive range of clothing and backpacks, G-1000 is a tightly woven blend of polyester and cotton. Originally featured on the Greenland Jacket in 1968, its ultra-functional qualities have won it a legion of fans worldwide. Not only incredibly hardwearing, G-1000 is breathable, wind-resistant and when impregnated with the brand’s Greenland Wax (a mix of beeswax and paraffin), can be made highly water-resistant too.

From everyday outdoor adventures to technical mountain treks, Fjällräven ’s collection now includes clothing and equipment for all types of outdoor-enthusiasts.

Fudge’s Traditional Applejack

Applejack, almost as ancient as cider itself! Throughout history, cider makers would leave a barrel of cider out for ‘Jack Frost’ to freeze and remove the ice, leaving, for some reason, strong liquor behind.

We operate courses the year round in a range of outdoor arenas from our own diverse British woodlands, to the far flung reaches of the African bush and the wilder places of Europe.

Our ethos is designed to show you how to have a minimum reliance on modern materials and equipment and instead to really work with nature and her seasonal variability for your comfort and needs out of doors.
