GP Multi-Purpose Pro P55 Beam Torch | £45
This nifty little torch is compact but totally solid thanks to a premium grade aircraft aluminium body and a hardwearing anodized coating that gives it the look and feel of a tactical flashlight. Easy one-handed operation allows you to toggle through three brightness settings and operate the strobe with one hand, on the brightest setting the P55 kicks out a whopping 400 lumens of light which can be focused and adjusted using the very swish and smoothly extending lens body.
Helinox Table One | £100
Helinox have done it again with their light and portable Table One. Take shock corded DAC aluminium poles, pair with a strong mesh top, add drink holders and you've got a seriously useful addition to your camping set-up. We use this table everywhere, whether camping with the kids or wild camping in the woods and find it really quick and easy to put up and pack away into it's durable carry bag. Once up it can handle a surprising 50kg of weight - that's a lot of pasta and drinks. Generally just a very handy and well-built bit of kit to have in your camping collection.
Robens Denali Tent Stove | £280
We couldn't resist elevating our bell tent camping experience with a new tent stove and the Denali is easy and intuitive to put together, keeps your tent warm and can even heat pans on top and water using an optional Bering water heater - glamping bliss. The chimney takes all of the potentially harmful smoke out of a stove port exit in our Robens Klondike tent but despite all this, amazingly the Denali and all of its parts fold up and fit snugly inside a tough carry bag 57.5 x 41 x 26 cm in size, so you needn't worry about taking up too much storage space out of season.
Coleman Fastpitch Event Shelter L | £150
It's handy to have extra covered space when camping and one of the most popular options on UK campsites is Coleman's Event Shelter which comes in a range of sizes and now a Fastpitch version. The 'Fast' in Fastpitch is a quicker and easier way to extend the main legs, shaving pitching time down to a very respectable five minutes. And with this much space and headroom it's time well spent, adding a great shaded area to set up a table and chairs for al fresco dining. The fabric is water resistant to 1000mm and has taped seams to fend off summer showers. We would recommend adding a few optional sun walls to make for an even more versatile outdoor space which is not just great for the campsite but also perfect for garden parties.
Lifeventure All Purpose Soap | £4
Yes, soap is undeniably dull but anyone who has dossed down in a spot lacking essential washing facilities will appreciate this tiny pot of liquid that can be used across a range of soap sud making duties. Wash your hands, hair, body, pots and pans and even your clothes with it, in fact pretty much all the boring chores are taken care of. The 100ml pot goes much further than you think, thanks to its concentrated formula, and being biodegradable it’s kinder to the environment too.
Alpkit Lampray | £39
The Lampray illuminates with 196 lumens of light on its maximum setting. With a gear hook on the back you can easily hang it in a tent for a soft diffused light or place it on the ground for an uplighter effect. Three different brightness settings allow you to dial in the mood as well as extending battery life if needed, right up to a claimed 110h hours on the lowest setting.
