Field Tested

If you are anything like me, when you can’t go camping or be at a festival you are thinking about your next purchase and planning what to take with you. I am forever planning camping trips, searching new and exciting places to visit, and picturing in my mind my next trip and how it could be that perfect pitch.

I spend every other minute of every day, thinking about the equipment that I have. How can I repair it, upgrade it, customize it, or replace it. I am constantly filling my time with dreams of how to make my next camping trip more luxurious, and looking for recommendations from my friends and visiting websites to find the best prices.

It can be slightly bewildering deciding on a new tent, or when considering which site to visit, so we’re here to help. This Section of Perfect Pitch Magazine is here to help you make your decisions about what to purchase or where to visit. Over the coming months we will be testing various different products at the campsites that we visit. We will be reviewing not just the sites, but also the equipment that we use on our trips. I’ll be sourcing new and exciting products for you to try and testing them thoroughly!!! Rest assured we’re going to find you some great places to visit and some amazing stuff to buy.

Decathlon-02-sPrior to going on my bushcraft weekend in the Chiltern Hills, I was given an extensive list of equipment that would be required. This essentially amounted to a complete set of hiking gear, which with not having done any hiking before, I did not have.

Bacon Sandwich: Camping Stove Test

gasvhexi-00-smallMany festivals including Reading and Download are not allowing gas stoves after problems at previous years festivals. In light of this we wanted to test the main alternative option, a Hexi Stove, against a traditional gas stove used by many festival goers to cook the staple diet of a festival goer. We took a basic Hexi Stove from Gelert and a Campingaz Bistro Grill Plate  and cooked 8 slices of bacon timing them to see how long it takes.
