Let customers speak for us
from 111 reviewsThe gloves are excellent for when we are camping. Leanne was so professional and actually queried my purchase because I had accidentally purchased the wrong gloves. Delivery was very quick. Would definitely recommend this company for anyone who wants camping needs. These gloves are the best on the market. We’ve had different kinds over time and these are “the best”
Cant believe how well these bags perform. We kept our drinks in this bag all day and the drinks that were left were still icey cold the next morning. you go to get one.
Awesome product fits perfect, great communication from seller. Highly recommended item

Would do business with you again.
Great quality fire pit and accessories
Staff where helpful and friendly highly recommend
Very happy with our purchase, delivered on time easy to use, good quality. did roast lamb in the camp oven last night using the heat bead chimmeny which we also purchased.
I purchased the medium Quokka fire pit combo after a fair bit of research online. I must say I was very impressed with the quality of the product. First test was a lamb roast using Dragon Breath Gidgee Coals. Man these Quokkas punch out some heat. The grill and rotisserie attachment are easy to use and with a little bit of height adjustment we had the lamb cooked perfectly in 2 1/2 hours. Tasted so good. I then cooked a pork chop for my son and he loved it and commented how tender it was. 8hrs later I went to pack up and was surprised to find some hot gidgee coals still in the Quokka. I cant wait to use it more at home and when we go camping. Highly recommend
I am about to order my 5th pair of these oh so comfortable shoes. With old and Bunioned feet it’s hard to find shoes to fit and stay comfortable. So easy to wash and dry quickly.
Many Thanks.
I love campfire cooking and working with both cast and spun steel. This book is an excellent primer for those just starting out and reference for those with a nit of experience. It is well presented. Beautiful pictures. Wonderfully simple and delicious recipes to follow. I found myself enjoying the read. It was a real gem of a find. I was so impressed I have just ordered the camp kitchen and the damper books. Looking forward to getting them.
I bought this for my partner for his birthday, and I think it's one of the best ideas I've had! My dog lost a toy under the lounge so I stretched to get it and ended up hurting something in my shoulder. Normally it'd be sore for 3 or 4 days, but I got this straight onto it and it was significantly better in about 10 minutes. It's easy to use on yourself too because it's small and light compared to some of the bigger ones out there.
Highly recommend, you will not regret it!
Lovely quality product, arrived on time & well packaged, thank you!
Thank you for a much needed product to accompany my fire pit. Thanks to Cam at Wild Touring for
his video on both the fire pit and the rotisserie bracket. Quality product.
Saw this on a Facebook page and decided to take the gamble. We are in lockdown but christened in the backyard for dinner and then fire pit! So so happy with this purchase and looking forward to taking Quokka on the road. Setup so easy, cleaning so easy and best of all it packs away into an easy carry bag. Thoroughly recommend
