I have the RHS Muckster ankle boot great for fishing ( dont go a size up as they say though) and also the Men's Muck Originals Duck Lace-Up Leather Short Boots greatest things every for walking the dog - only things I have ever found that handle wet grass - no walking boot I have tried can cope with it.

If you do winter fishing some decent electric socks can be nice , when you put your feet into cold boots. Also muck boots have a 25% of sale on at the moment some great products on there.

Yep, 100% agree too.
Take mine everytime. No warmth, but provides a nice warm light.
A nice little gift or stocking filler.

Been using the NGT tap for a couple of years now and its never run out of charge even on a weeks camping. Something I thought was a gimmick but actually quite like it now.

I have a couple of uco lamps, they provide no warmth at all, but give a enough light to be able to see your shoes etc when getting up in the night. Plus I have seen rats spook away from coming under the brolly when they see them . And you can use citronella candles in the warmer weather to help keep the mozzies away. I wouldn't be without mine

Trakker tap is actually pretty good - USB charge lasts and age and if you're a frequent T drinker way less agg filling small kettles for constant brews (they don't need lifting / placing upright on a bucket for gravity fills etc). . . I know it sounds daft - but in reality it works really well

Never got on with the UCO lantern . . .anyone that says it provides warmth would be better off getting a Jungle blanket

Quite fancy , a Korda spring bow 5+5 which would really come in handy . It would have to be a good deal really as wouldn’t pay the RRP .

I already have 2 pairs of Costa's, nice story as to why I have 2 pairs,my 1st pair fell off my hat and cracked a lens on a tiled floor, I tried to invoke the lifetime guarantee but Costa UK rep said as the model was discontinued and no spare lenses available too bad,not satisfied with this I emailed Costa in the US outlining the situation,they apologised and sent me an e voucher for a new pair of glasses for the cost of the replacement lens £60.
So got a new pair of £200 glasses. The broken ones I got polarised lenses made for by a local firm for £35. They're actually not too bad and use them for everyday use driving etc.

It’s a small candle, no heat benefit at all, just nice soft light on a long night.

Trakker tap is going on the list
As is the ridge monkey bivvy light but found the one with integrated power bank for the same £55 as the standard one Amazon. Only 5200mah but will should do a phone charge out of it 😁
UCO lantern is a nice looking piece of kit .But can't blow it out by remote control and any heat benefit would be wasted on me as door always open.
