Big Pack Flash 25

Advantages: Easy to handle
Disadvantages: Could have a diffrent color

...If you're going camping then you're going to need to be fed. How? First of all, you need food. Secondly, you need to prepare it. That can be done using a storm-proof stove. This review deals with two of the best storm-proof stoves out on the market today. Trangia has made storm-proof stoves for over 75 years now. Their storm-proof stoves are considered to be among the best. I have two diffrent storm-proof stoves from Trangia. The "25" and the mini trangia. These are the two most common. The 25: The 25 is perfect for when you're out with your familiy and you need to make a lot of food fast. It's pretty big and it's very difficult to get it to be quiet while packed. It contains: 1 Stove, 2 Saucepans, 1.75 and 1.5 litre, 1 Frypan (22 cm), 2 Windshields (upper and lower), 1 Burner, 1 Handle and 1 Strap. It weighs totally 1100 grams... Read review

Advantages: Small; Bright; Sturdy
Disadvantages: Slightly disappointing runtime

...Ever since the law changed to allow cyclists to use flashing LED lights (as long as they are bright enough) there has been a noted change in the safety of riders after dark, and efforts by the companies making these items to outdo each other by producing the brightest and most notable sets of lights. Blackburn have recently upped the ante with a number of lights, and while at the front they have gone large and effective with the Quadrant, on the rear the Mars 3.0 (named after the red planet) proves just as effective at making sure other road users will see you. There are seven LEDs packed into this small case, and powered by only two AAA batteries they manage to produce a remarkably intense light - following my girlfriend at night, with this mounted, I can't look directly into the light it is that bright. The bracket for this unit... Read review

Advantages: Size, durability and rucksack style straps
Disadvantages: Comfort if carrying for extended periods of time (> 1hr)

...to be carried for long periods of time I'd advise against this as you're likely to have a sore back at the end of it. I typically use mine for carrying approx 25kgs of weight a distance of 2-3 miles at a time, its ok for this but you can feel the strain on your back because of the lack of extra support. Possibly if you were extremely careful with the way you pack it and try to keep the weight down it may be ok for longer distances, my advice though would be to get a rucksack if thats the functionality you want. The bag is not waterproof, its water resistant, so in a shower your stuff tends to remain dry, dry bags are recommended though. - Summary:: I'd recommend this bag if you need something with this sort of capacity for travelling by bus / boat / plane etc., its great for this, easy to carry around for short distances and importantly its tough...
