Take time to get the perfect fit

Product/Skill: Hill Walking boots Interest: Walking
When your looking to buy a new pair of boots, put aside plenty of time to spend in store getting measured up and trying some on.
Remember, you might be walking for 8 or more hours in them in a day, so its worth spending time in them in store to make sure they are going to be right for you.

If your having problems finding the right pair, its well worth booking an appointment with your nearest store so you get a more personal fitting session.

Hot water bottle

Product/Skill: Camp Craft/Bushcraft Interest: Camping
On cold nights a platypus or camelbak full of hot water makes a great water-bottle to put in your sleeping bag.
Wrap it in a fleece or trek-towel so you dont burn yourself and then crawl into your sleepng bag with it for instant warmth.

When yor not going to use it for a while, put your Platypus or Camelbak in the freezer to stop mould from growing in the bladder and tubes.
Just remember to defrost it before you need to use it again.
