“The rich man buys once, the poor man buys twice.” In other words, the rich man can afford to buy quality gear that performs its intended function and lasts a long time; the poor many buys cheap gear that either breaks or does not work and needs to be replaced after a short period. I see/hear this saying touted around the camping scene quite regularly. Quite frankly, it annoys me. If we all waited … more »
Our Lifetime 4’ bi-fold, height-adjustable table is a handy piece of camping kit. It can be used as a standing height bench, standard height table, a low table for the kids or as a side table while sitting down. Sturdy camping tables that allow food preparation and washing up at a suitable height for standing up are hard to come by. Most of the benches marketed as camp kitchens are only 80 cm … more »
Our DMH Outdoors stainless steel mugs appear to have excellent insulation properties, as discovered on a recent camping trip. We only took the bare essentials on the camping trip. This included a gas cooker that mounted directly to the top of the gas bottle, as well as a moka pot to brew our morning coffee. While we had brought the moka coffee pot, I had not thought to pack the kettle for boiling … more »

Do you really need to go out and buy that expensive sleeping bag to get a good night’s sleep, or can you make do with household items you … more »
We have just come home from a magnificent weekend camping at the Noosa River Caravan Park. This is a top spot to camp for a few days or a week. We were lucky enough to get one of the waterfront camp sites. It was pretty special waking up only about 10 metres from the water and hearing it lapping the shore in the morning. I thought it was a little ironic the people with $200,000+ caravans … more »
I tend to view OZtrail camping gear as mid-range. It is reasonably priced for okay quality: sometimes quality can be excellent, such as my experience with the OZtrail UltraRig poly tarps; other times quality can be bad, such as my experience with the OZtrail Junior Deluxe folding chair. We bought the Oztrail Junior Deluxe folding chair maybe two years ago (I can’t put an exact date on it). The chair has been taken to a couple of parties … more »
