Whether it’s on a beach, in the back garden or out in the woods there aren’t many people who can turn down a lounge in a hammock. The ENO Sub 6 Hammock is designed to be a lightweight and east to use hammock for while out and about in the woods either as a sleep system, or for just relaxing. I’ve had mine for over five years now so long enough to know it’s capable of surviving a good amount of use.

The mountain call: Project quite likely
There’s a unique thrill that accompanies planning a hiking trip, especially when it involves conquering bucket list mountains and exploring awe-inspiring routes. As you dive into the world of trip preparation, the anticipation builds, particularly when you find yourself glued to webcams, almost daily tracking the snow as it recedes from the mountains.

When getting ready to hike with small children, the first thing you’ll need to look for is a child carrier, and loving the outdoors as I do, this was actually the first baby related item I bought prior to the arrival of our first child (something my wife always likes to remind me of!).

Review – Lowepro Flipside Sport
If you want to do any photography outside a studio, you’ll need a bag, and if you’re heading out for long periods of time or hiking with your camera it’s an important bit of kit.
