Welcome to the TECHNICAL RESCUE site, home of three PRINT titles, one Digital-only title, six Digital-only BUYERSGUIDES and, eventually, an extrication manual.  All of our titles concentrate on equipment and techniques (rather than news and policy which is well catered for in other industry magazines) with Gear Reviews, Market Guides and techniques articles. Details of each issue are on the SHOP page but to make things easier for the free pdf versions you can can just click on most front covers to get them rather than have to use the shopping cart. 

​

Brexit, Covid, climate catastrophes, energy/cost-of-living increases, an interest rates surge and the shameful invasion of Ukraine have all adversely affected most aspects of life across the world, some very much worse than others. We have been fortunate in being largely unaffected having been able to shed unnecessary costs like the office ! but there are production delays and there have been big increases in costs. Otherwise, it's business as usual for us - we were never on time even before all this madness!  Because we now have 10 publications to produce  we are dropping our print magazines down to 3 times per year each. Regulars will know that we rarely get out more than 3 per year anyway so you won't notice much of a change!  

The PDF version of all our magazines is now FREE-to-ALL.

Mailing costs and reliability continue to be ridiculous and you can circumvent these by purchasing our magazines from a STOCKIST  currently in UK, USA, Canada, NZ, Belgium, Germany, Australia, Hong Kong,  We had to increase PRINT subscription costs in 2022 for the first time in a decade and now need to increase print subscription costs for 2024 following a whopping 200% increase in costs so print subscriptions will remain at US$25 but will now be for 3 issues instead of 4 and $40/6 issues (plus $5 & $10 post outside of the UK/Eire and USA/Canada0. Digital issues are free to all and any readers that make a purchase or simply request via email will get the digital version sent automatically each issue until you ask us to desist or your email changes! All readers will receive the active link to the annual BUYERS GUIDES which will be updated every week on the same link.
