MFH: Field Gear and Camp Equipment

German brand MFH makes gear for field trips, hunting, fishing and camping: boonie hats, rain gear, backpacks, folding cots, tents and entrenching tools. Many items follow military patterns, such as the US Cot or the GB SF Bush Hat worn by British special forces.

A Boonie Hat for the Terrain

The cut of a boonie hat decides where it is most useful. The GB SF Bush Hat with a short stitched brim does not limit your view and does not snag on branches in the undergrowth. The US GI Boonie Hat and US GI Bush Hat with a wide brim shade the face and neck in open sun. The Combat Tropical with side flaps covers the ears and neck when the sun is low.

A Backpack for the Length of the Trip

The US Assault I Basic 30 L has three front zip pockets, so your first aid kit, food and documents do not mix: it is a day pack. The Assault II 40 L with two main compartments and MOLLE webbing almost all over carries a day and night of gear, the 65 L pack is for several days, and the Travel 48 L bag-backpack is handy for relocations. Always size a tactical backpack for the longest trip you plan, not for an ordinary day.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is better in the rain: a poncho or a rain suit?

A poncho is better for short moves, a rain suit for long hours of work in the rain. A poncho goes on quickly over clothes and a backpack, and a ripstop poncho can also be pitched as a tarp. A jacket and pants suit protects the legs better and does not balloon in the wind, which is why among rain jackets it is the usual pick for fishing and hunting.

What do I need for a night in the field?

The US Cot folding bed lifts you off cold, damp ground and holds up to 120 kg. It pairs well with a Flecktarn mummy sleeping bag, a Thermal foam sit pad and a 20 L dry bag for dry clothes. For the camp, MFH also offers other camping gear: two- and three-person tunnel tents, an aluminum table and a Land Rover chair in British Army style.
