Fly repellent device
Who: ShooAway.
Unlike many methods of controlling flies, ShooAway does not use any harmful chemicals, making it safe around food, drink, children, and pets. The ShooAway’s soft, flexible blades are rotated by an energy-efficient motor that comes to a soft stop if something blocks the blades, such as your hand. At the end of each of ShooAway’s gently rotating blades is patented holographic discs. This unique innovation is the key to keeping irritating flies away. A hot seller!
Buzz off: Don't let flies spoil dinner.
Sun shelter with solid wall
What: Coleman Event 14.
Larger than standard 3x3m gazebos and also more resistant to wind and rain, this Coleman sunshade provides a massive, sheltered area. And it folds up smaller than most gazebos, so you can pack it into a handy carry bag that’s included. It’s that easy!
Slim shady: These sun shelters are easy to set up and pack down.
Camp light
Who: Dometic
Light up every adventure with the Dometic Area Light. Use it as a torch, hang it for area lighting, or add the diffuser for a softer glow. With 400 lumens, water-resistant durability, and up to 8 hours of power on high, it’s built for the outdoors. Choose from four brightness levels and eight colours, including amber to keep bugs away. Bluetooth control makes it easy, and it recharges in about 6 hours. One light, endless options.

Nontoxic ice pack
Who: Arctic Ice.
This nontoxic freezer gel is injected into a multi-layer, barrier film pouch, giving the pack excellent strength that ensures the polymer is not affected by continuous freezing and thawing. These packs do not absorb smells or dehydrate over time. Best of all, there is no melted ice in the bottom of the ice box. The packs can take time to freeze down to -20ºC so three days flat-stacked in the freezer before use is recommended. Available in three sizes. 900gm, 2.4kg, and 3.5kg.
Ice ice, baby: There's no need for ice bags thanks to these beauties.
