Sleeping bags

Sleeping mats

New water cells X and ST
Great for hikers and car campers who need to carry water storage over dry periods
Ultrasil nano shopping bag
This bag is tiny and is a long term bag that replace all the shopping bags that live in everyone’s car boot or pack – it is smaller than an egg when packed
Helinox
Apart from the well known hiking poles they also produce a range of very light camp chairs. This is an item I have seen many hikers carry as their ‘luxury item’ on overnight and multi week trips
A well known range of packs that is gaining traction on the Australian Market
Sierra Designs
Sleeping bags as well as tents
Ruffwear
A range of equipment for dogs both on and off the trail
