Snugpak has you bushcraft ready
A range of products for the UK countryside
Snugpak is the UK's leading sleeping bag and insulated clothing manufacturer, and they also produce a comprehensive collection of bushcraft-ready products, offering protection, comfort and even a touch of luxury to fit all terrains and weather conditions that the British countryside can throw at you.
TheIonosphere (SRP £214.00)is a two-pole, one-door compact tent, expertly designed for overnight adventures. Packing down to a weight of just 1200g, the Ionosphere has a two-pole, easy to pitch design, with the tent forming a hooped shelter that keeps condensation build-up to a minimum. The inner tent is made of a No-See-Um Mesh Mosquito Net which will not only keep out bugs, but can also be used without the fly as a stand-alone mosquito shelter/barrier in the summer months and in warmer climates. The Ionosphere's 5000mm hydrostatic head polyurethane coated fly sheet with taped seams will shelter you from all but the most inclement weather, and its impressive floor space means ample room for a single person with some equipment.
For an even more compact sleeping set-up, theStratosphere bivvi shelter (SRP £204.00)is Snugpak's super-light one-person shelter with a single skin design.The Stratosphere is an easily pitched, classic bivvi shelter with a self-supporting canopy around the head and shoulders, allowing increased breathability and movement while giving protection from the elements. As with the Ionosphere, the entry features a No-See-Um Mesh Mosquito Net, which can be rolled away when not in use, and access is easy via the 3/4 length side zip. There is also a mesh covered vent behind the head area for improved air circulation.
The Stratosphere's lightweight, single skin design is waterproof and breathable, with an impressive 5000mm hydrostatic head. Its waterproof PU coated flysheet, taped seams, and 8000mm (HH) waterproof PU coated bathtub-style groundsheet provide superb protection from the elements. Weighing only 1.1kg (2.2lbs) in its included compression sack, the Stratosphere is perfect for when a lightweight and small pack size is essential.
TheJungle Blanket (SRP £40.00 to £47.00)is a warm, lightweight, less bulky alternative to your quilt at home and based on sleeping bag technology, ideal for extra warmth while camping, emergencies or even to wrap around you on a chilly night while you enjoy the campfire or take in the view of the sunset. Snugpak has engineered the Jungle Blanket using Travelsoft Insulation, designed for exceptional performance using ultra lightweight, high loft fibres that insulate superbly even after being compressed into a small, compact size for lightweight travelling. The Jungle Blanket is antibacterial, anti-microbial, windproof and water resistant,and will become your best friend when the temperature drops. The Blanket packs down into its included compression stuff sack,is available in Standard and Extra Long sizes, and comes in Black or Olive colours.
There's nothing worse than finding equipment wet, or even damaged, when out on the hills
, and Snugpak'sDri-Sak™(SRP £14.00 to £27.00)comes in a range of sizes to keep your kit safe and dry. Dri-Saks™are 100%waterproof heavy-duty dry bags made from robust, lightweight nylon fabric, with a reinforced hem and buckle for a roll-down waterproof enclosure to ensure that contents are protected from the elements.TheDri-Sak™is available in Black, Olive (pictured) and Coyote Tan colours and in five useful sizes, from 4L (idealfor individual items, venture smocks, and lightweight sleeping bags) right up to 35L (for segregating expedition rucksacks under 40L and creating an enclosed waterproof pack).
While the Dri-Sak™ keeps kit dry, Snugpak'sHead to Toe Towel (SRP £26.00)is the perfect washing and drying accessory for a compact and complete bushcraft set-up. This soft travel towel is made with SILVADUR™ Intelligent Technologies, reducing odours and minimising the build-up of bacteria, and the super-absorbent, quick-drying microfibre material means a reduced pack weight. The towel packs down small, but has an impressive size of 120 x 125cm, while weighing only 360g. It can be folded or rolled down to minimal packing size, and used in a variety of conditions before being left to air dry naturally or wrung out to remove excess moisture.
