We’ve gone camping since my son was one year. My daughter started at nine months. I won’t lie, camping with toddlers, especially kids under 2 years, is work…but then again, I guess everything with kids, regardless of age, is just work. The good thing, however, is that camping with younger toddlers is doable. And in…
I’ve just returned from Europe’s biggest extreme sports and music festival, NASS (04), which takes place just a couple of hours down the road from me at the Bath and West showground. I’m now just about saturated with all the skating, in-lining, BMXing, free running, freestyle frisbeeing and lots more that a person can watch…

While you should have a few tools available at home, you should also consider buying a smaller repair kit to keep in your vehicle. This is particularly important if you’re planning to go on long trips or off-road. You’ll also want…

These distinctions impact how they fall under legal frameworks, influencing requirements like age restrictions and helmet use. So what is an…

Smart decision-making and planning ahead can mitigate most camping dangers and threats. I’ve solo camped for almost two decades, and the solitude makes for an interesting dynamic. Camping alone clears my head and provides…
When you picture a serious skier in your mind, their look probably includes warm clothes, goggles, and a helmet. Then, of course, they have ski poles held in their hands. Ski poles are crucial when turning as they let you quickly spread off your weight. This way, you don’t put your weight entirely on the…
Electric bikes are a great way to get around town, but they can sometimes be temperamental and unreliable. If you’re having trouble with your electric bike cutting out or not starting up in the morning, it could be time for a quick check. There are many causes of an e-bike cutting out. It could be…
When I started camping, one of the things that put a damper on my efforts was the sleep arrangements. I could sleep like rubbish. My back would hurt and remain stiff, putting me in a sour mood for the rest of the day. I imagine I wasn’t the only one. Most new campers will usually…
Shotguns are ubiquitous in the hunting world. They’ve been around since the 1800s, but their popularity and use have only risen in the last few decades. In the U.S, there are more than 20 million shotguns registered and roughly 7.8 million people hold a current hunting license. Perhaps the best part of shotgunning is that…
