Equipment

Have you ever embarked on a delightful fishing expedition or a wild camping adventure, only for your perishables to spoil unexpectedly? Many outdoor enthusiasts have found themselves in this frustrating predicament before. The solution? A chilli-bin, a cooler or an ice box for our international friends. It can keep your catch of the day, patés, cheeses, and beverages cold for longer than you'd believe. 

As the world increasingly harnesses the boundless energy of our local star, understanding the intricacies of solar panels has never been more relevant. The magic of turning sunlight into electricity might seem like a little of a marvel, but the science is fascinating when broken down.

I like organisation. So when Jetboil came out with a 'nesting' system that also promised highly efficient boiling times. I was immediately interested. Sure, my PocketRocket is like a little blowtorch of a cooker, and I have a nice system that all fits together - but - you know - new shiny things! To have everything working together, optimised for boil times, and with an optional coffee-making system! Genius!

Have you ever been wrestling with a tent and its rogue guy lines during your first camping adventure? If so, fear not; you are not alone. What are these crisscrossing cords for, and how do we use them correctly?

Have you ever challenged the elements and decided to spend a night in a tent? Maybe you've noticed there are different kinds of tents out there, and it's not always easy to know which one is the best for you. A tent's waterproof rating - often measured in millimetres (mm) - indicates its ability to withstand water pressure. The higher the number, the better the tent can keep you dry in the rain.
