Wild Country Oxygen Pack of 5

Advantages: Usually available at most fishing tackle shops.
Disadvantages: Not very easy to store.

...need to go out fishing on the harbour seeing as I had only brought down some tackle and not all the things that I would need to fish the harbour. I then asked the man at the tackle shop if they sold bait. He said that they did and he advised me that sandeels were a good bait for float fishing off the harbour. He showed me a pack of frozen sandeels that contained around 6-8 sandeels. It was a plastic blast frozen pack and he said that one pack would be enough for one 4 hour session. I decided that I would take one pack of sandeels and I payed him. I payed around £1.75 for one pack of frozen sandeels that contained around 7-9 full sandeels. I believe that you can purchase packs of sandeels in most tackle shops around Britain and I expect other countrys would sell them too. I believe that the frozen packs of sandeels that you can buy...

Advantages: Warm, Extreme
Disadvantages: Size

...The Vango Predator 450 is a flagship synthetic bag packed with features to make this one of the best bags proving plenty of bang, for your buck.

Although this bag has the disadvantage with most synthetic bags, the size, it does hold most of the properties which... Read review

Disadvantages: It's not true 4-season, small cooking area, lack of headroom

...I bought a Tadpole 23 three years ago and use it for wild-country back-packing, rock-climbing and winter mountaineering. It is an ultra-lightweight tent that weighs less than 2kg, designed for two people, in three-season conditions (However, I have used it for winter mountaineering in the UK, which it is fine for if you have a good sleeping bag and air mattress). It does all the standard tent stuff - like keeping the wind and rain off you and your kit whilst allowing you to cook and sleep, but is much more sophisicated than a standard tent. When you first see it up, it looks a bit flimsy, but it is actually very resistant to the wind and The North Face have made every effort to reduce its weight as much as possible without compromising on the strength. It is easy to put up on your own (even in the dark when you're tired) due to the 3... Read review
