Reviews for Rough Water Handling :
Sea Kayaker Magazine
Rough Water Handling is a great way to show calmer water paddlers what adventures await them and how they can prepare for handling those waters... click here for more
Ocean Paddler Magazine

Yet after watching this DVD, I think I understand a little more about how they do it... click here for more
Reviews for Self Rescue For Climbers:
Snowdonia Active Website
"You rarely consider as a climber being involved in a serious or potentially serious incident until it happens - a bit late then to start wishing you had watched the new 'Self Rescue For Climbers' DVD, while wondering if you should use a prusik or auto-block knot to help lower your injured partner to safety..." click here for more
Climber Magazine 5 Star Review

Sander's and Long's ropeside manner is exemplary... no pretentious soliloquising or patronising dumbing down. Self Rescue takes full advantage of the utility of the DVD format over print media when explaining rope tricks such as bypassing a knot on an abseil or forming a klemheist prusik..." click here for more

Its prime function [is] as an educational tool, looking at safe practise in sea kayaking and it certainly succeeded in this remit. Sea kayakers of all abilities would find this DVD stimulating and informative and something which they would want to refer back to on a regular basis..." click here for more
