Keep the midge menace at bay with the Thermacell MR300
As any wild camper knows - particularly those who spend anytime attempting to enjoy the remote beauty of the Scottish Highlands - midges can ruin an otherwise idyllic experience. Head nets and spray-on repellent are an absolute essential, but wearing a mesh bag over your head spoils the views and, let's be honest, is far from stylish, while sprays can often contain unpleasant chemicals that are bad for both you and your kit.
The lightweight Thermacell MR300 offers an alternative solution. Slip in the repellent tablet, fire up the mini butane burner, and enjoy a 20m area of midge free happiness. At least, that's the promise. Does it work in a real-world experience? Well, if a warm, still ev...

    I used to not be a fan of Decathlon, but once you step into their stores and see how many activities they cater for, and realise that you can kit a family of four for any activity and or holiday event, there's no going back. We literally have close to a hundred items, including clothing, backpacks, snorkel gear (that mostly only gets used in the summers), air beds, cook sets, and even weird games like Peteca (found it in a store in Spain), and an odd 'disc petanque/boules' thing (found in a store in Croatia).

  • @tmerrick24
    @tmerrick24 2 месяца назад

    I have INOV8 shoes and i think they are awful. The fit is too narrow, they aren't remotely close to being water proof, in fact they're not even close to being water resistant. They also smell horrible, and are the only pair of shoes i have ever owned that smell. I'll never buy their shoes again. The grip is good though.

    • @trailmagazine
      @trailmagazine 2 месяца назад

      I agree with the slightly narrow fit, but that's exactly what these new ROCLITES address - they're a wider, more anatomical fit. I found them much more comfortable. I've just come back from the Lakes where it was very, VERY wet underfoot, and I tested the shoes with no problems at all. The only time my feet got wet was when I sank in above the ankle, and the boots wouldn't have had that problem - the Gore-Tex lining seems entirely reliable. As for the smell, well, I've not had an issue with previous models, and it's too early to tell with these, but I'll let you know! Ben

I love climbing mountains, done all the tallest ones in the UK but I don’t like these sort of knife edges. Neither of them have any experience with scrambles or climbing so lord knows how they’ll get on with it.

I'd rather carry on to enjoy the Lakes than risk falling just for the sake of saying "I've done that." Fabulous view from the top of Blencathra

    Thanks for the nice review! Two questions: Why would you not use the Mid GTX for off-path/heather bashing? Do you think the Mid GTX would be OK for 15-20 km per day? I've most recently used Inoc8 335s for the type of trip in mind, but now I'm looking for something a bit sturdier, that will work woth microspikes/light crampons. Cheers!

    • @trailmagazine
      @trailmagazine 3 месяца назад

      The Mescalito Mids are essentially approach shoes with a higher ankle cuff. They're very light and comfortable, but also very flexible and not as tough or supportive as proper 3-season hiking boots. For off-path hiking on uneven and unpredictable terrain I'd want something a little burlier - particularly as they are flat soled (there's no cutaway at the heel) so don't offer quite the same level of grip.

    • @trailmagazine
      @trailmagazine 4 месяца назад

      At present the difference between magnetic north and grid north in the UK is minimal, and actually zero in many places. The bearing you take from the map will be close enough without having to worry too much about magnetic variation. Plus, for people just starting out in navigation it's another factor that can complicate the learning.

    I live and walk in the far north of Scotland, and bought one of these recently, after seeing a mention in Scottish Mountaineer, the MCoS magazine. I'm in my late sixties, and walk alone, often in remote places with no phone signal. Whilst I'm not doing anything technically difficult these days, I finally decided to get something like a Zoleo, as injuries/ill health are more likely, given my age. If the device enables me to have a few more years in the hills, then it's worth it. I was fortunate with pricing: the device cost me £149 in December, and I received a code when I created an account on the site which waived the one-off registration fee.
