I have had my Petzl Tikkina2 for more than 3 years and still use it regularly. I went looking for a more powerful headlamp, and decided on the 200 Lumen Black Diamond Icon headlamp. [...]

 I have a collection of Nite Ize S-biner carabiner-style fasteners attached to all my packs. They come in a variety of sizes and finishes, and are available at Cape Union Mart, Sportsmans Warehouse and most other sports shops. [...]  A headlamp is indispensable for any camping trip! Having both your hands free to pitch a tent, braai, cook makes all these tasks less of an effort. It is also a great idea to pop one into your pack for an emergency situation. [...]  I keep a good supply of these on hand for penning down my tent’s guy ropes. Straight pegs are far more likely to get pulled out in strong wind, whilst the design of these pegs makes them far more secure. [...]  I bought the Topeak Aero Wedge Pack Saddle Bag for my cannondale SL2 29er mountain bike. I have just had to purchase a second one, as after just more than a year of light use the first one’s zips and seams all but disintegrated. I could not find an alternative saddle bag however, so will see if this one fares any better. [...]  After allowing my pair of New Balance 860′s to deteriorate to a shameful state of collapse, I finally dragged myself off to buy a new pair of road shoes at The Sweat Shop. I have been running in New Balance road shoes since I started running again a few years ago, and as I have had no problems with them, I have chosen to stick with what I know for now. [...]  In a never-ending bid to fully equip myself for the outdoors, I am constantly on the lookout for new gear to make the process easier. The Camp Cover Tent Peg Bag is a triangular, zip-up canvas carrier bag for all your tent pegs. [...]  A race belt is possibly one of the handiest little bits of gear that you can have for triathlon! No more hassling with safety pins! There is nothing stopping you from using it for running and cycling as well. [...]  I find CO2 cartridges indispensable on both my MTB and my road bike. I have only once attempted to inflate my MTB tire during a race using a mini-pump, and it was a miserable experience. [...]  I previously purchased a non-Cadac cooker top, and it is simply not of the same quality as the branded Cadac fitting. [...] |
