LEVEL 1

Bronze Award

NOTE WORTHY AND WORTH A SECOND LOOK

Products awarded with a BRONZE AWARD are generally for those who are on a budget or new to bushcraft, survival or the outdoors.

Although the product has stood up to basic testing it might lack certain features or be a little unrefined. With this said its good enough for an award so check it out!

LEVEL 2

Silver Award

MID RANGE AND GREAT FOR GENERAL USE

Products awarded with a SILVER AWARD are for those who are looking for something that holds up well without breaking the bank.

These products are general use items and should hold up to fair usage under most conditions.

If creating a B.O.B (Bug out Bag) we would generally recommend using products with a Silver Award or higher.

Platinum Award

THE BEST OF THE BEST

Products awarded with a PLATINUM AWARD come highly recommended by UKSN and are used regularly by members of the team.

Platinum products are very high quality, durable, feature rich and stand out above all the rest. If only the best will do - buy a Platinum awarded product.

Frequently asked questions

What is ULAS?

ULAS stands for UKSN Level and Award System and allows us to award products a level or award depending on how it perfoms.

What are the different ULAS levels?

Level 1 Level 1 products are generally a budget buy and for those new to buschraft, survival or outdoor activities. If building a basic B.O.B (Bug Out Bag) on a low budget these items should be more than adequate. Bronze awarded products automatically come under a level 1. Level 2 Level 2 products are your everyday items that are realtively good quality, wont break the bank and would normally make up the bulk of a mid range B.O.B or EDC (Every Day Carry) Silver awarded products automatically come under a level 2. Level 3 Anything falling within a level 3 are high quality and highly recommended. They might cost a little more but its peace of mind! A B.O.B or E.D.C containing level 3 products are fairly high end and designed to last. Gold and Platinum awarded products automatically come under a level 3.
