The Biolite CampStove +2 gives you a smokeless efficient camp stove combined with an integrated electrical fan that allows you to adjust the rate of burn. A central metal rod near the top also converts heat energy into electricity allowing the stove to easily power an included LED light, recharge an integrated 3200mhA power pack AND use a USB cable to recharge electrical items like headlamps and phones while out on the trail.

Zenbivy Lite 10 Review

ZENBIVY Light Bed 10° Review

admin

The Zenbivy Light is a modular system that combines a mattress with a quilt. By using a unique extra sheet layer you also get a warm baffled shoulder area and hood and integrated pillow that gives you the flexibility to use this like a quilt or use the clips to turn the system into a super warm sleeping bag with an integral mattress. Zenbivy is unique in the sleep systems that I’ve tested because it provides the most comfort for those of us that sleep on our sides or suffer from the cold and discomfort. With the extra space to turn without getting twisted up in a sleeping bag you’ll get the closest to an outdoor bed for less than 4lbs packed down. Continue reading ZENBIVY Light Bed 10° Review
