    If you thought two episodes of nonsense inventions and head-scratcher gadgets were quite enough, Ben and Lauren respectfully challenge that with another twenty! Some are practical, some are peculiar, most are weird, and all are wonderful!

    In their third episode of the sort, things get weirder without much warning.

  • Ep 121 - Off-Grid Communication

    'Don't call me unless it's an emergency' should be taken just as seriously as 'don't talk to me until I've had my morning coffee.'
    In this episode, Ben and Lauren discuss the kind of communication that requires a gadget caught between the all-out, 'get me out', sending-out-an-SOS Personal Locator Beacon, and the in-range, just-down-the-road, yarn-with-Mum mobile phone.
    From connecting to satellites and choosing the right device, to navigating, recharging, and maintenance - we're sending our own important message to every outdoor adventurer ahead of their next off-grid escape.

    Take whatever you've been told about beach camping with a grain of... sand.

    In this episode, Ben and Lauren invite Dave and Bec from our Snowys store in Brendale, Queensland, to unpack the beach camping considerations for those sunlit trips off the bitumen. From the mesh groundsheets, best sand pegs, and suggested tent designs, to mitigating the mozzies, midges, and high tides - it gets a little ~snowy~ on this beach!
