Do you think learning to bake cakes is a good thing to do when your first challenge is to loose 3 stone ::)

This is by no means a bucket list. For my bucket list may I refer you to the latest An Idiot Abroad.

looks good lenny, hopefully once you've built up a good list and get plenty of viewers you'll be able to contact suppliers with a view getting some free gear ;) you could maybe even do an article each month for a local magazine or newspaper

That's what I'm going for but as soon as I review the gear it would be given away in a comp

Excellent Idea!!! ;)
Nice site,
Bit of constructive criticism:
-Maybe a tad more information, what the product is good at what it isnt etc...
-Consider explaining why 'said' features make that product good and not good
-When it comes in handy, what it works well with
Just think if someone who is only beginning into the outdoor world is reading it they may not fully understand. But none the less it's a great effort and I wish the best for you.
Thanks Oisin.
I will try and keep newbies into consideration. What would you say coming from a newbie side yourself would of been a better lay out? Something like a pro and con section or maybe more in depth? I was a bit worried about going to in depth thou.
I think you could include a pro's con's section at the end to sum it up. That way it would remind the reader what they have just read.
And where is a good place to use it: etc.. when walking the dog in the forest but , but not when going a run... something like that.
Not saying you need these things, just something you could include if you wanted.
