The Gerber Steady may not have as many tools, and it might be a bit chunkier than other multi-tools on the market, but it does have a neat trick up its sleeve…

As normal-ish bloke I'm all for keeping things to a minimum, so when I buy something it generally has to have a dual purpose.  When the time came to buy a new pair of boots I knew that they needed to be hardy enough for a gentle meander in the country, comfy for driving in and after a bit of spit ‘n’ polish, posh enough to wear with…..

OSO's Tablet Dash Mount is something that I don't use very often, purely because I don't use my iPad whilst driving.  I decided to change that the other day and use the Navigon app on my iPad instead.  

It doesn’t take long to set up, just clean the surface and place the mount in the desired position.  If you have one of those breathable surfaces…..

Do you know those times when you really need to leave the house, but when you peer through the window and the rain is horizontal?  Yeah, that’s when I grab my Páramo Halcon jacket.

There’s no getting away from the fact that at…..

Snow is something that we’ve been seriously lacking around my neck of the woods this winter, but that hasn’t stopped me from slipping my feet into my pair of Snowline 8.5’s when the rain has been constant companion. The Snowline 8.5 combines Grub’s Insu-Foam technology with advanced 8.5 thermal engineering, which makes …..

I came across the Boot Pull at a CLA Game Fair a few years ago, and it has been on the Discovery’s tow ball, and now Deux Smurf's pretty much ever since. It's simply a device that fixes onto your tow ball and doubles as a mobile boot jack and ball hitch cover……

With the right tools, starting a BBQ is a doddle, and when I’m at home, part of my BBQ kit is a battered and worn chimney starter which always works a treat. When I’m out and about with my small Weber Smokey Joe or Aquaforno, it’s a different matter, the chimney rolls around the back of the Discovery covering everything with muck…….

Using your precious iPhone underwater isn’t really recommended as electrics and water don’t generally mix.  However, with an iPhone case from LifeProof, now you can!

What I like about the LIFEPROOF FRĒ case is that it's slim, especially when compared against the Otterbox Defender as the FRĒ is only 1.3mm thicker that the phone itself.  This means that it doesn’t look out of place, whether you’re in the wilderness, in the…..

There was a time, when spending a few days away from home, that I'd chuck all of my toiletries into a plastic carrier bag and think nothing of it. This however embarrassed Muddy Madam, and for a birthday present I was bought a ‘proper’ wash bag. Although an expensive 'fashion' brand, it didn’t take long for it begin falling apart.

Then, along came ‘Peter……

It is a bright, compact, and highly portable light that has plenty of uses from camping and travel, to working around the house or garage.

When we went on an off-the-grid trip the Luci was a brilliant addition, and proved…

At the time of writing this, the K3-II is currently the flagship of the Ricoh/Pentax DSLR range, it has a few extra features over the K3 (clicky link http://www.crossaxle.com/product-review-pentax-k3/) that I reviewed last month.

Both have 24.4 megapixels and an ISO that goes up to 51.200 for taking photos under extremely poor lighting conditions, both are ….

Being a big fan of Millican products to start with, I came over all excited when I first found out they made an iPad cover.  Well, when I say ‘cover’, I actually mean pouch.

Like all of Nicky and Jorric’s products, ‘Joe the iPad Cover’ is well made and oozes quality. Once you’ve slotted your iPad into Joe, you secure it by folding over its flap which is fastened into place using ….

I’ve owned Millican's Jim the Holdall for a long time now, in fact he’s been used almost every other day for the last 5 years.  He gets stuffed with damp and smelly gym kit, he’s been thrown in the back of my 4x4 for camping trips, and he still looks smart enough in an L405 Range Rover for posh weekends away.  For press events in foreign climes, Jim also fits most airline restrictions for hand luggage and has …..

Developed a couple of years ago to be the flagship of Pentax, the K-3 featured a host of advanced functions and user-friendly features to help its owner take better quality photos and be easier to use under demanding shooting conditions in the field.

Now, I could go all technical and talk at length about its….

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I do like Merrell shoes, I can’t remember a time when there hasn’t been a pair in my wardrobe.

Early last year, 2015, they sent me a pair of Moab Rover’s from their new arrivals section to abuse... sorry, review.  Merrell call their Moab Rover a hiking shoe, but you won’t find any ankle support, in fact they sit quite low, so….

I have to admit that I’ve been a fan of the Bluebeards Revenges’ shaving paraphernalia for quite a while as they’re the only…

I reckon I’ve had my Aquaforno for around 4 years now, and what makes it stand out from all of my other stoves and BBQ’s is that its everything in one package. It’s a fire pit, BBQ, kettle, patio heater, pizza oven, roasting oven, clothes dryer and probably more!…

They’re a traditionally-styled men’s Derby brogue boot in a really nice soft burnished leather with waxed fabric at the heel.  Inside you’ll find….

Barbour Men's Ashby Wax Jacket, a timeless classic combining rugged durability with refined style. We explore its weather-resistant waxed cotton, practical features, and versatile design, perfect for outdoor adventures or everyday wear.

For those of us who don’t need a full expedition roof rack on our 4x4's, yet still need to carry a variety of gubbins on the roof, the obvious solution is a set of roof bars, and in my experience, nothing is quite as sturdy as Thule. (Pronounced Toolay btw).

Decades ago I bought a pair of lockable Thule roof bars for my old ’74 Range Rover, they were brilliant and I still …….
