There are some seriously cool, practical and fun products on this page. The travel pillow (I have a bad neck and usually end up taking the pillow from my bed) and the re-chargeable lamp in particular have caught my eye.
Thanks Mel 🙂 I’ve already bought the Collaps kettle and the SHO pillow
is sat in my basket – I’m a bad influence on myself I think lol Glad you
like some of them!
My Two personal favorites from this list would be the Hubi & the lotus Grill, they have changed the way I camp
The Lotus Grill is ideal for the 2 of us, but the HUBi get’s my vote if I had to choose between them 🙂
Interesting choices – thanks for putting the list together! I used a frontier stove for six months last year and would recommend it – very effective, packs down simply and easy to fit to a bell tent. Am keen to try out the Vango Eco Rechargeable Lantern as have not found all wind-up torches to be very effective.
Great to hear you recommend the Frontier Stove. We’ve just bought something similar but haven’t used it yet. The Eco Lantern looks really good, we think the solar panel should make this perform better than your average wind up…we’ve got a wind up lantern and it’s not great but this looks much more versatile.
Thanks for your advice on twitter re coolbox – we used the coleman xtreme last week (admittedly not prepping properly) to transport food on a couple hour drive. Everything stayed completely frozen so we were very happy. Looking forward to using properly in the summer for our camping trips!
Love some of the other suggestions – we have the collaps kettle and found it to be great last year – anything that saves space is great. Lots of other things have been added to my wish list 🙂
