I’ve had 2 packet of Hotties for quite a while. Unfortunately they were put to one side and forgotten about, as I don’t have a wood burning stove (yet), and both my Ozpig and Aquaforno stoves are buried deep in the outhouse, far out of reach, even for ………..

This thing is blooming marvellous. It's teeny at only 8.3x4.7x1.8cm, has a nice brushed rubber feel and can play up to 7 hours, so should cope with a day's fishing. It comes with everything most people need to make it work: KS Vibes Earphones, USB charge cable and a lanyard. ………

big fork isn't a fork in the eating sense, it's actually a cooking utensil. It's an 11 inch long giant fork for cooking and serving. You can use it as a food turner when cooking by using its ‘prongs’ to grab and flip steaks or

If you haven't come across power banks before, they are for charging your smartphone when you don’t have access to a plug. The Kit: is portable, lightweight and small enough to fit in your pocket, or bag, perfect for a quick battery boost when you need it most……….

….but I can seek out products that are durable and robust, and the Hive 2+ Wireless Speaker is one of them. It has a sturdy, rugged design that can happily survive a tumble or two……..

Hydro Flask has brought out a new improved cap made with stainless steel pivots and an easy-to-carry strap, and as soon as I saw it thought 'Now this it what my bottle needs'……

Yes, yes, I know, it's far too early in the year to mention the word C*******s, but trying to find that special present for the motoring guy or gal who has everything can be a bit of a pain, so we might as well begin our search early. Checking out the ever-expanding line-up of Motoring Classics items might just solve the problem for you as there’s something for everybody…

Now that summer has ended (don't laugh, we did have a summer.....well the rain was warmer), and we enter the time of falling leaves and gusty winds, let’s talk about jumpers, more specifically, Channel Jumper’s 1/4 Zipped Guernsey Jumper……

Today I dropped my phone down a flight of stairs, again.  Not on purpose you understand, my hands were full and I was performing an amazing juggling act with my school bag, flask, keys, my coat tucked under my arm and of course my phone.  Then it all went pear shape and I watched in slow motion as …..

We’ve had this Premium version at Muddy Towers now for nearly 5 years, though you wouldn’t think it, going off it’s condition. With a cooking area of 37cm it’s large enough to feed a small family (or me), yet suitable to be packed into the smallest of cars.  Here at Muddy Towers we find it perfect for days out, and at home with family and friends…..

A couple of years back I reviewed the Luci Original blow up solar light, and loved it, and now they’ve gone all funky and made a multi-colour version.

I mean why would we want to settle for one boring colour when you can have eight super cool ones?….

Just thought we'd give you a quick glimpse of Hi-Tec's new Sandals. There'll be doing a proper in depth review once we've had chance to put them through their paces…..

Originating in the 1890’s, PRIMUS is well known for its award-winning, fuel-efficient stoves and have recently released a new one - the Essential.

Primus say that their new Essential Stove sets are simple and easy to use, and at an affordable price they’re perfect for beginners.  Well, let’s see……

They say that young people these days don’t buy watches, instead they use their mobile phones to tell the time.  They’re a strange bunch, next you’ll be telling me that they don’t carry pocket knives around either…

As of this moment, it’s been 12 days since I handed my watch in for a service, it’s the same watch I’ve worn everyday for the last 17 years, and I miss it, I really can’t…..

After spending a few months with the new Gerber Centre-Drive (or Center-Drive because Americans can’t spell) where will it live - drawer or toolbox?

Every week, near enough, we’re sent products to review, some are put straight to use whilst others we just stare at and ponder their relevance. Initially, when I opened the box from Wham I have to admit the latter did cross my mind, but we are always up for checking out British made products.

Only a few moments after casting her eyes on them, Muddy Madam had some ideas and put them straight to use…..

I'm not usually one to wear scarves, unless it's freezing cold, so when I was offered a couple of these cotton continuous loop (hence the name Infinity), to review I thought I can only give them a go…

Millican’s Joe The iPad cover is a great piece of kit, but after an initial spurt of use for my first review, around 6 months, it was put to one side and almost forgotten about.  After this confession, some of you may be thinking that Joe isn’t worthy and a bit rubbish, but you would be wrong, oh so very wrong. 

The sole reason for its rejection was because the eternally clumsy Muddy Madam…..

Here at The Mud Life our philosophy is simple, the less we pack when we go on a jaunt the better, which is why I’m lovin’ this new product that was sent to us to review.  EAZYBBQ is basically 100% ecological oak charcoal in a box.  Granted, on reflection that doesn’t sound very exciting, but it is!

For starters it’s in a box, so that makes it easier for packing……

In the main compartment I put a couple of shirts, a pair of trousers, sturdy boots and underwear, they all seemed to be lost inside…
