    Choosing a cheap light tent

    It is a fine balance between space, weight and price and the Luxe Hexpeak range does give people different ideas on how to use it as life changes, people/girlfriends join you or you go with a group maybe?

    Sil-MiniPeak (2013) (Small review/pics)

    Right this is the story. First came the PU Coated Mini Peak, which was popular. Then came the PU Mini Peak and the Sil Mini Peak, both of which were popular. Then Michael decided last year to stop the Sil version and update the PU Coated version. Now he tells me, he is working on a new...

    Just in case this might be of interest for people with any of the above, they are now available as a stand alone item off the shelf in the UK.

    Walking Poles

    Don't forget if you are wanting to use poles for shelter support you may need to link the pair together to create a strong stable tall pole. Most poles sets come in 2 standard sets - 18mm, 16mm, 14mm (the standard wide pole and Pacers) and 16mm, 14mm 12mm (the slim line type Leki etc) Now you...

    Light weight wood stove for bbq/campfire/stewing etc

    An interesting challenge and target you have set yourself there. Of course I'm going to promote the Honey/Hive and the features it offers. The grill which comes with it will certainly hold 3 pans and the shape does help to keep the main heat in the centre and the lower heat at the four corners...

    - Wanted Golite Den, Trailstar and Duomid

    Sorry can't see a 'Wanted' prefix. I'm after all of the above in any condition providing they pitch, so I can use them as reference pieces for certain items we are stocking next year. I have some beer vouchers waiting :)

    This ultralite chair looks familiar

    I was at the UK trade fair this week and mentioned these copies to Helinox who informed me that there are 34 individual patents in the original chair and apparently as a result there's a lot of 'cease and desist' paperwork going around the world currently. It's up to you who you buy it from or why.
