After camping at Latitude festival where the ground was quite hard all of our tent pegs for our Bell Tent were bent, and in the stormy weather our Tarp only just withstood the beating it took from the weather as the pegs kept pulling up. So on our return the first thing we did was look in to replacing the tent pegs. After many positive mentions of Delta Ground Pegs we ordered some to test out with our Bell Tent and canvas Tarp
The Comfort Bed Double combines extra comfort with reliability. Featuring the exclusive Airtight® system that includes a patented Double Lock™ valve. Additional benefit is the durable PVC which is highly puncture resistant. Larger dimensions and an inner coil structure give this airbed a greater level of comfort and support. It also incorporates a dual air chamber that allows each sleeper to select their own level of firmness, ensuring a relaxing night’s sleep. Two independent air chambers result in less motion being felt by either sleeper.
The ultimate stove for cooking on the go thanks to its foldable design with locking handle for easy transport and storage. This clever stove features an extra-large cooking area for two wide-based pans and the PerfectFlow® system provides consistent cooking performance in cold weather, when gas is low and in high altitudes.
Touareg Tents offer all the joys of camping under canvas without all the hassle associated with other canvas tents. They pack down small and take 1 person less than 1/4 of an hour to put up or take down.
