I follow a flexible but healthy diet (if you ignore the chocolate and takeaways), but often turn to the scales numerous times a day. I weigh the honey I put on my yogurt at breakfast, weigh my veg to make sure I get the proper portion size for my 5-a-day, and we cook most evening meals from scratch, which involves weighing out lots of ingredients.
If travelling light is a key element to your outdoor adventure, then consider the Deep Jungle Zip XL as a replacement for the humble tent. This hammock from Hennessy Hammock is for serious trekking - we are talking deep amazon jungle escapades, not a weekend in your local woodland, although it would work for that too.
Since the Instagram revolution everyone likes to show off their skills. If you can’t walk on your hands, nail the Scorpion Pose or smash out Voodoo Child on the ukulele should you even have an account? However, you quit your dance classes and music lessons as soon as your mates started hanging out at the park after school and now you can barely get off the sofa without groaning and wouldn’t know where to put your fingers on a Uke.
If you are going to straddle a rocket and hurtle along the tarmac, it’s probably a sensible idea to wear some protection, and yes, I mean more than a helmet and imitation leather jacket. Forcefield Body Armour are specialists in impact protection and high-performance clothing systems, so it’s a good place to start.

The Fingbox plugs into your Wi-Fi router and lets you see who’s coming and going in your home, as well as set parental controls, detect intruders and attacks. It’s basically like a compact internet bouncer…ID please, mate.
One of the traditional benefits of having a tent over a hammock is that you can cram more people into a tent, that was until hammocks cottoned on and upped their game. The DoubleNest from Eagles Nest Outfitters (ENO) has enough room for two people to lay down flat, or, if you’re feeling less social, one person to sprawl out.
When I was young, my older sister got sea monkeys for Christmas. I remember being so jealous and arguing the fact that, although I was just 5 years old, I had both the skills and dedication to shoulder the responsibility of a little shrimpy family of my own. I quickly disproved my point by accidently knocking over my sister’s tank within hours of her setting it up. Twenty-six years later, I feel I am just about ready to take on the challenge again, except, this time, there is no possibility of spillage thanks the EcoSphere.
We are slowly moving into a Black Mirror episode where we can control our entire surroundings with either an app or our voices. I say, lets just embrace it! All those episodes have happy endings…right?
