Eurohike Adventure Cookset with Burner

Advantages: Small, Compact, Lightweight, Affordable.
Disadvantages: Get's a bit hot when cooking.

...I go camping a lot! It would be fair to say that I enjoy it, very much! So it won't suprise you to learn that I love checking out camping shops for little gadgets or something new to experiment with. When it comes to going away, you want to reduce the bulk of whatever you're taking. Even more so when camping, because if you're camping properly you want to go back to basics as much as you can! This cookset made by Eurohike is brilliant! It's desgin means that you can easily nest each pot and pan inside one another to create a small bundle. Very space saving, very practical. A travel/carry bag is provided with the set. Made of Aluminium, this cookset is very light. An obvious downside to being made of metal however, is the heat conducting qualities. So when cooking with the set you need to be constantly aware of how hot it may be...

Rugged Rucksack

Advantages: good-looking, durable
Disadvantages: none

...When I went to elementary school, I carried my school slate and slate pencil in a satchel (this was in the middle of the last century!). For secondary school I got a leather briefcase, but because it isn?t good for the spine of a still growing child to carry a heavy weight in one hand, a shoemaker sewed leather straps on it so that I could carry it on my back. My classmates had these briefcase-satchels as well. I don?t remember when the straps were taken off. Then an unhealthy period began, I did carry my briefcases in one hand. I think that we, like nearly every other family, had a rucksack somewhere but it was used for hiking only and wasn?t considered a fashion item. (Rucksack is a German word, literally it means ?back sack?, it entered the English language at the end of the 19th century, a bit later than the word wanderlust...

Rucksack with Reins

Advantages: has long life span from 6 months to approx 4 years
Disadvantages: not machine washable

...We couldn't believe our eyes when we saw this rucksack. We'd been toying with the decision, reins or non-reins for our son. We found the rucksack at the Mountain Life Outdoor Adventure Shop located in Rheged Discovery Centre, Penrith whilst having a weekend break. ~~~LittleLife~~~ I must admit, I'd never heard of LittleLife before. After a bit of research, I have discovered that they design products especially for active families who enjoy outdoor activities and travelling. They introduced their first series of products only two years ago in 2003, initially focusing on child carriers and accessories, they now produce ultra-light travel cots (very trendy) as well as first aid kits. The designers boast enjoying spending a lot of time with their own children outdoors as well as being experienced designers for equipment...

Measuring Miles Made Easy!

Advantages: Easy To Use, Lightweight
Disadvantages: Not Waterproof

...Most weekends I can usually be found trudging across some remote part of the Countryside. I have done this week in, week out for many years but it only recently struck me how many miles I must cover on an average walk. It is of course reasonably easily to estimate the distance covered with the aid of a good map but these days there are a whole range of little gadgets available, which measure the distance that you walked. These gadgets are colloquially referred to as Pedometers. I have recently purchased a Eurohike Walking Pedometer which have I used for the past couple of months. I purchased this from a local Outdoors Shop for £9.99. Prior to my purchase I had virtually no knowledge of Pedometers, other than being aware that they existed. There were actually two different choices available in the Shop that I went to. My decision...

Carry on Camping

Advantages: Easy to pitch, inexpensive
Disadvantages: Only suitable for light rain and short breaks maybe

...Ooer missus!! No, this is not going to be any of that! This is going to be about my camping activities and my little tent in particular! A few years ago now I purchased a Eurohike 220 Dome tent for £39.99 from Milletts outdoor/camping store for the purpose of my music festival-going activities. At the time I thought I was being clever by buying a red one – “unusual” I thought “everyone else’s will be blue or green” I thought. On getting to the campsite at Reading Festival I realised it may just not be so easy to find my little red tent among the mere 10,000 or so other red tents among the 50 000+ campers – dammit! I was so jealous of the leopard print tent I spotted (pardon the pun!) Back to the tent itself – a two berth (at a squeeze) of simple construction and a breeze to put up so...

The tent for the small

Advantages: The price
Disadvantages: The size

...I first purchased the Eurohike 220 about 2 years ago when I was going on a Duke Of Edinburugh expedition, the tent was light weight and it was very easy to carry on the expedition. Another reason I bought the tent was because it was so easy to erect. The poles easily located in the channels and it just popped up. The simple job of hammering in the pegs followed and then you could use it to your hearts content. This is the type of tent you need after you have been on a 15 mile hike, something that is easy to put up with no fiddeling. The only problem with the tent is that it is too small it is about 5"8 long and now iam 6". This tent was a great tent and it served me well for the 2 years that it was in my possesion. The only problem now is finding a tent that will match it in price and in all of the other essential criteria that...

Not just for mending tents

Advantages: good for memding small holes and tears
Disadvantages: none

...Oh no I caught my Mac in a sac waterproof coat in the door of the car. I look at it; it has a small tear in it now. Bother, bother, bother. The tear is only small about a couple of cm /1 inch it is near the hem of the coat. Shall I throw the coat away? The rip will only get bigger. No I shall repair it and use this waterproof coat to Glastonbury festival; I would not want to take a new one there. I know that I can buy some patches for mending nylon fabrics that tents are made from .So I went into Blacks outdoor equipment shop and bought myself a Eurohike nylon repair kit. This kit cost me £2.99. The nylon repair kit is in a small clear plastic wallet with a card top which gives instructions for use on it . . I found this pack hanging up on a display rack a hole is punched out of the card top for easy display hanging. I...

Count my steps.

Advantages: Calculates calories burned off and miles walked, radio.
Disadvantages: Sometimes seems pointless to use.

...Whilst I have heard about pedometers, I have often wondered the point in them really, until I was given one for Christmas. I have not really had a burning desire to count the number of steps that I have walked prior to then, but if given a freebie, well you have to measure them out of curiosity don`t you? What is a pedometer? * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Pedometers in general perform similar functions and the Eurohike, multi Function pedometer is the one under review. A pedometer is a small plastic, battery operated digital piece of equipment with one display that you can change, depending on what you wish to measure. It is only a few inches, about 4 by 4 and light. It has a clip on it that the instructions advise you to clip on to your belt. I find a waistband works quite well. Basically pedometers count the number...
