I was in a similar situation, in the end i just got one mainly for use in the uk but also to be used across the Pyrenees and other expeditions we do. Paired with your phone it works well, actually I am quite impressed, it excels off road and is very good on road. I do find that traffic and...

I have a few.....kind of quirky like that! The Jambox is really good with lots of decent bass and good sound but the Bose Revolve is fantastic all round, excellent sound, 360 degree sound, great bass, excellent battery life, and all the usual other features ;)

Ok lets spice this up! What is your go to overland camp chef ultimate favourite meal to cook? feel free to share the recipe and method. i use the coleman dual fuel twin stove, front runner cutlery set, various pans I've added over the years. This is an easy to make hash and really hits the...

Another vote for Engel, I have the MT45 and it’s fantastic, ultra low draw and so well made. Also parts and accessories are easily available. I’ve had mine for 15 years and it’s never let me down and used every day!

I bought two for a recent overland trip for me and my son, we use them on Oztent stretchers. They are excellent and so comfortable! Really well made too

You forgot Wales!

Currently in South France in the Serre Chevalier Valley. At a campsite for a night (decent shower!) We left the Uk 10 days ago and stopped at very quiet camp site in Viollette France, it was 38c when we arrived at 17.00 and only dropped to 28c at 06.00! Then we headed for Chamonix for a few...

There must have been an air leak on my original stove from day one, the new (dual burner) works a treat and only pump the once!

I did, believe it or not a I bought a new Dual fuel stove, I nearly bought the same stove as you, it was on offer in Costco but as you have mentioned the bottles would be the issue. I’m currently in south of France and used the Coleman almost every day using Aspen 4 fuel and it’s fantastic.

So the time has come to look into solar panels. As time goes by I find myself with more electronic gadgets and to be honest I like it, so the demand for more power is ever increasing, when I say more I mean longer lasting. In my Defender I have a yellow and red top Optimas which work really...

Thanks for the info, I have purchased a Robens coulee 11 sleeping bag which unzips into a duvet, when zipped it has a great amount of room and rectangular not tapered. The fabric is very soft and not cold to the touch and not to bulky either. I’m currently on an overland in Chamonix France and...

Same here, Engel MT45 purchased 16 years ago and has been used in the house and on overland (I’m currently overland now in Chamonix) pretty much since! Amazing and apart from my Defender it’s the best bit of overland kit
