What did we think?Inside the box you’ll find the speaker, a tiny little micro USB charging cable, instruction booklet and a stand. Pairing the Braven 105 speaker with my phone was super easy. I turned on Bluetooth, it popped up in my device list on my phone and paired, taking no more than a few seconds to complete. The speaker is idiot-proof and very intuitive to use with big rubbersied buttons on the side. There’s an elastic loop attached to the speaker which makes it easy to attach to things should you feel the need to. I prefer to use it with the supplied stand though (see the pic below) and whilst it’s all very well made and feels like a quality little bit of tech, I do find the stand a bit fiddly, so have taken to leaving it attached to the stand. The stand that comes with the Braven 105 speaker Audio in and micro USB sockets on the back of the speaker On the back of the speaker there’s a flap which protects the micro USB and audio jack inputs. As with the bigger Braven 405 which we absolutely love, the sound quality is good, though with it’s diminished size and at this price point, the sound isn’t outstanding, but the sound is clear and impressive for its size. This is a great little speaker with decent given it’s so small. I love the fact that’s its both rechargeable and waterproof, making it really handy for camping, and I love the stand that comes with it despite it being a little fiddly to get on and of it. If you’re looking for a good quality Bluetooth speaker for outdoor sports, camping and/or travel, then the Braven 105 is great buy! Thank you to Braven for supplying the featured product for us to review.

The Easy Camp Air Comfy range has been designed with budget conscious families in mind, providing a great range of reliable and easy to use inflatable tents at more affordable prices – and there are some new additions to the Easy Camp Air Comfy range for 2018. Air Comfy tents are made from quality fire-retardant PU-coated polyester with a hydrostatic head of 3,000mm. Pitching is fast via three separate air tubes that can be easily inflated by attaching the supplied pump, and twin guylines keep the tent secure. Comfort is guaranteed with generous living areas offering ample headroom for relaxing and eating behind the large, curtained windows. Practical features include sewn-in groundsheets, flexible rear ventilation with guy-out protective panel, large doors to flysheets and inners plus insect-proof mesh as appropriate. Blizzard 300 and 500The Easy Camp Blizzard tent sleeps three and five people respectively and feature a sloping profile that provides ample headroom and space in the living area while reducing material over the bedroom where not so critical to minimise weight and packed size. This makes them ideal for couples and small families looking for touring and weekend tents, or for use where storage and transportation space is critical. The sloping back also improves the aerodynamic profile and performance in windy conditions. RRP: Blizzard 300 £379.99, Blizzard 500 £459.99 Hurricane 300 and 500These sleep three and five people respectively in a smart two room design with good headroom and living space, making them ideal for couples and young families seeking a reliable, flexible tent for weekends away and longer holidays at unrivalled value for money.

Large curtained windows, mesh vents and a sewn-in groundsheet all work together to create a bright, airy interior with minimal condensation.

Coming in at an overall length of 13.5" and weighing only 1.3 lbs, it's the perfect size to throw in your pack or tie to the outside. If you don't read any more of this review, know that this hatchet is a quality handmade tool that functions exceptionally well! Gränsfors Bruks is a small Swedish company that employs 32 people and has been around for more than 100 years. Each axe is handmade and has the craftsman's initials stamped into the blade. I own two of these hatchets. One is strapped to my wife's bug out bag and I take the other one with me when I'm camping or doing something that may require an axe. I believe very strongly in the idea of a survival axe and this hatchet fits that role perfectly. Quality is the first thing that you think of when you see a Gränsfors Bruk axe for the first time. The blades are razor sharp and show the obvious signs of being hand forged. For some, this may appear as ugly, but to me, it's a thing of beauty. When you pick it up, the handle is smooth and comfortable and the axe feels well balanced. Chopping and splitting wood can seem like a chore most of the time. When I'm processing wood for a fire with this hatchet it's more fun than anything else. Any hatchet can chop wood. A good hatchet makes it fun! Each hatchet comes with a leather sheath to protect your pack from sharp edges and a small booklet that covers maintenance and proper cutting techniques. Gränsfors Bruk recommends using their sharpening stone when doing maintenance on the blade. As with anything, every one is not perfect. There have been reposts of some finishing problems with the handles and a couple people have said they've received axes with nicked blades. I haven't personally seen that in any of the Gränsfors Bruk axes I've ever handled, but it's something to make a note of if you're going to buy one. The good thing is that would be covered by the 20-year manufacturer's warranty, but it's not something you should have to deal with from a product this expensive.
