Every year without fail, when we go camping, we seem to forget that we won’t have a fridge or freezer. How we haven’t learnt this yet, I’m not sure, but it always results in about six of us turning up with enough meat to feed an army and an attempt to cook and eat it all on the same night. Well, not this year! We managed to get our hands on the Powerbox Plus, a 28L active cooler that operates off of a 12V car plug-in or a 230V electrical outlet (both cables included).

New on the scene is the Transporter 65 Duffle Bag from Osprey. Their bags have been designed to be tough and “adventure proof”; this expedition-style duffel bag is made from highly durable materials, is water-resistant and has a varied carrying system. Large enough to accommodate technical equipment, it is made from a super tough, TPU laminated 800D Nylon+ 0.2mm, which has excellent durability whilst keep the weight to a minimum.

The Stratos 50 is a hiking backpack that is packed with useful features and generous ventilation to make your outdoors adventure is as comfortable as possible. These features include Osprey's AntiGravity technology and a fully adjustable AirSpeed ventilated back system, which is a single-piece constructed back panel and hip belt with highly breathable suspended mesh.

The Fairview has been created specifically with women in mind. It is Osprey’s lightest travel backpack to date, featuring a women-specific fit created with an ergonomically shaped hip belt, harness, yoke and zip-away spacer mesh ventilated back panel. The bag is available in three sizes - 40, 55 and 70 - and in two colours – ‘Misty Grey’ and an attractive ‘Rainforest Green’.

The 412GW Dash Cam from Nextbase features QUAD HD 1440p recording, which delivers images at 30 frames per second with a high frame rate option of 60fps recording at full 1080p HD. It uses six-element sharp lenses, made up of six layers of glass to provide excellent picture clarity, and it has a 140° viewing angle. It attaches via the new Click & Go magnetic mount, making it easy to install; the mount uses magnets and powered touch points, allowing the camera itself to be free from wires and therefore be easy to remove when you leave the car.

The Linksys MAX-STREAM AC600 Wi-Fi Micro USB Adapter upgrades Windows-based PCs to Next-Gen AC Wi-Fi and makes it MU-MIMO (Multi-user, multiple-input, multiple-output) ready, allowing the Wi-Fi router to communicate with multiple devices simultaneously at a faster and more efficient way. In our household alone, we have seven devices connected at any one time, which often results in slow loading and buffering.

One of the sad facts of growing older, on top of your skin sagging, joints creaking and taking 3 days to get over a night out, your hair becomes thinner revealing more face and head than your ever knew you had. Your forehead becomes a fivehead, sixhead, sevenhead, then eventually you look like an egg. The LaserBand 82 Bundle is a light treatment system that aims to tackle hair loss and thinning hair.

Having the right sleeping bag when camping is important. Lack of sleep can easily ruin any trip; trying to get to sleep when you are too cold isn’t a lot of fun, and waking up sweating you butt off is equally unpleasant.

We have had a pretty rubbish summer so far: a few hot days here and there mixed with rain, cold temperatures and even snow - typical England. Because of this, we have rather shamefully neglected our back garden, but I was still surprised by how over-grown it had become when I finally dared to venture out there. Due to living in rented accommodation, we are limited to what we can do with the space, so it remains a rather boring gravelly rectangle with very little sunshine, where even lavender will die.

The Vicod 5G 2nd Generation, Atmos’ most compact and discreet vaporisers available, is powered by a 2200mAh lithium-polymer battery and uses advanced temperature controls. These range from 300F to 435F and feature an embedded ceramic heating chamber that is used to vaporise dry herbs and produce a pure vapor. The device is equipped with a temperature memory function so will automatically begin heating up the temperature you had it set to the last time you used it.
