I reckon I’ve had my Aquaforno for around 3 years now, and what makes it stand out from all of my other stoves and BBQ’s is that its everything in one package. It’s a fire pit, BBQ, kettle, patio heater, pizza oven, roasting oven, clothes dryer and probably more! Its modular construction means that its three cooking sections can be ...

Unless I’m wearing a suit, or at the gym, you’ll generally find me wearing a pair of boots.  I find them far more practical for general meanderings than trainers. I’ve had this pair of Belsay boots from Barbour since the middle of 2013, and I’ve worn the weekly ever since.  They’re a traditionally-styled men’s Derby brogue boot in a really ...

I use both my Therm-a-Rest NeoAir and DreamTime-XL mattress’s as often as I can, and they’re both high quality and reliable pieces of kit. The difference between the above and the EvoLite mattress is its weight. At just 480g, the EvoLite is ultralight and compact enough to be perfect for those who are looking to keep their 3 season camping ...

For those of us who don’t need a full expedition roof rack on our vehicles, the obvious solution is a set of roof bars, and in my experience nothing is quite as sturdy as Thule.

As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, of the 100’s of products I’ve tested of the years, there’s only a handful I still use today.  Not only is the Ghillie kettle one of those products, but it’s one that I’ll go out of my way to use! The chimney or volcano kettle, call it what you will, dates back to the late 1800’s ...

Mrs Turner has a reputation for being fussy when it comes to food, so when I dig out the BBQ she often sulks and says, ‘We can’t cook pizzas on a BBQ!’  With pizza being a staple diet in the Turner household, I had to find a solution. So, after a quick Google search I found The KettlePizza, and now ...

After four years of hard labour you would expect some products to die and go to the great landfill site in the sky, but not my Contigo ‘West Loop’ travel mug, no chance, it’s made of hardier stuff than that! The ‘West Loop’ is BPA free and has a revolutionary patented Autoseal push ‘n’ sip lid system, which makes them ...
