Name aside this is a pretty tasty field snack! As I mentioned in our review of the delicious Savulohirouhe Tomaattikastikkeessa I personally seldom carry canned goods into the field as I find the packaging a burden. However I am always open to try something new for lunch at home so lets get stuck into a can of Kalakalle Kalakukko.

Using canned food whilst hiking is something I have never been a fan of. The leftover container accompanies you for the rest the trip and long after you have enjoyed the contents you are stuck with the often smelly container.

I ordered my first pair of Altberg Defender MOD Browns in late 2015 intending to replace my Scarpa SL’s. The Scarpa SL Activs experienced a lot of varying action and I brought two pairs of those Scarpas in total. It was through extended use that I came to really enjoy leather boots without a membrane. I found them to be more comfortable and indeed waterproof than previous Gore-Tex offerings. On the other hand the price of £240 (at time of print) was less desirable. I was going through a pair of these every year and after a while decided it was not worth it.

I really enjoy wearing the Páramo Enduro Jacket and have used it in a wide range of environments and climatic conditions. It’s such a breathable and well ventilated piece but also protective enough so you can keep it on almost all of the time. It breaths as well as a soft shell but with the added bonus of the jacket being waterproof.

Sleeping out in the woods under a tarp with just a hammock suspended between two trees must be one of the simplest and most immersive outdoor experiences I can think of. It’s pure relaxation to have nature all around you and not be enclosed in a tent or bivi. This is a full review and field test on the Thermarest Slacker Hammock.

Finding a good rucksack should not be a task of random experimentation. In today’s market place dominated by low quality, high volume and a customer demanding a fair price: its increasingly difficult to find a product that matches your requirements. This is a full review and field test of the Karrimor SF Sabre 60-100.
The KarrimorSF Sabre 60 – 100 is a fully adjustable, high volume pack that is very durable. It offers the user a great load carry option when venturing into parts unknown with a heavy load out.
