Review: VicOffroad Folding Fire Pit + Grill

Some of the best camping memories are created around a campfire. Toasting marshmallows, cooking a meal, and sharing a story or two. However, an increasing number of campsites are now restricting campfires to fire pits – whether be existing ones on site or portable ones you can take along yourself.     Keen to get ourselves a folding fire pit we shopped around for a little while. A lot of the fire pits we found were bulky, heavy, or expensive. When we partnered with VicOffroad to review a few of their products this fire pit & grill was the first...

Being someone who loves to cook at home I was keen to find a way to make our usual favourites like fresh scones, cakes, baked desserts, and perhaps even a roast. On past trips when we’ve had a bit more storage available we’ve taken the Weber Baby Q barbecue. Unfortunately its bulky, heavy, and just not...

Review: Mini Box Photo Book

As someone who enjoys photography and travel I like having mementos to look back on once I’m home – a way to share the memories with friends and family. Photo books are a great way to do that. I’d planned to put together a photo book of our Cape York trip last year but somehow hadn’t found the time. A Groupon deal was the motivation I needed. I’d never heard of the Mini Box website before so didn’t really know what to expect with quality or speed of delivery, but I was pleasantly surprised with the whole experience. I’m not going to say...
