Jetboil Flash Review

So I have had the Jetboil Flash for a few weeks now and although I’ve not had it out as much as I’d like, a proper review seems overdue. I’ll not rehash the basics which you can read in the pre-review here, I’ll just talk about my actual experiences. It’s fair to say that as […]
New Gear First Thoughts – Jetboil & Exped Synmat

I’ve talked for a while about investing in a new Jetboil and sleeping mat. I did buy a second-hand Jetboil a few years ago but it had developed a tendency to make strange noises when lit and being already nervous of gas stoves, I’d long stopped using it. I have also been through many sleep […]

I’ve used and fondled a couple of […]
Lightwave G1 Ion tent review
I’ve been using the G1 ion for about 5 years now, thought you might be interested in a review. I’ve used it in Canada, NZ, Scotland and of course at home in the rain/bog. Although described on their website: http://www.lightwave.uk.com/en/tent_g1ion.php as a two person tent, I’d say it really needs to be two close friends. I’ve […]
Primus Gravity II Stove Review

Santa and his Elves were kind enough to stuff £25 of Cotswolds vouchers in my stocking this Yuletide so I popped straight down to their Boucher Road store and bought a £55 stove – maths was never my strong point. I have a collection of stoves that are all awesome but none of which exactly […]
