Heimplanet The Cave Inflatable Tent
Getting a tent up can be difficult at the best of times, but when it’s cold and windy things start to get really tough. This is where Heimplanet’s innovation comes into play, The Cave Inflatable Tent. No poles, no problem. The inner tent only has to be attached the first time around, then you can just roll it up with the outer tent and inflatable frame once it’s time to pack up. You can have your home away from home up in less than a minute and all it takes is a few presses on the pump!

BioLite CampStove
Outta gas? No problem, not when you have the BioLite CampStove anyway. This nifty piece of kit needs nothing more than twigs and wood chips to get fired up, so you can cook up a warm meal on those cold winter nights. This eco-friendly camping stove cleverly creates smokeless, hyper-efficient flames that puts it on par with gas camping stoves. What’s more, it also generates electricity from those flames, charging up an attached battery pack that can be used to charge your phone, LED lights, or any other USB-chargeable devices.
