THE FRONT BOOT

We ’ ve all been there : for as hard as we try , the campfire struggles to get going . Made from organic coconut fibre , this product could be the answer .

Known as the Jealous Devil Boom Fire Starters ( RRP : $ 17.95 ), they are odourless , smokeless and water-resistant . Apparently , one Jealous Devil can burn for more than 20 minutes . Available from Bunnings and various camping outlets , Jealous Devil Boom Fire Starters sound sounds like a potentially worthwhile addition to the van ’ s boot .

Mozzies . Nothing will ruin your trip faster than those little blighters . However , the Thermacell EX90 seems like it might be worth a try . Now , there ’ s a lot of products claiming to beat back mosquitoes , and we can ’ t vouch for this one ourselves , but for the asking price of $ 99.95 it could be money well spent .

The Thermacell EX90 is a rechargeable mozzie repeller that uses heat to diffuse a small amount of insecticide into the air , creating a 28m2 ‘ zone ’ of protection . The battery is said to

last for nine hours before needing to be recharged . The product itself is available from various camping stores , such as BCF and Anaconda .
