This light was bought primarily for fishing and emergency lighting during power outages, when I need fast lighting at various outputs. Compared to other lights, the Outask was smaller, more compact, had larger battery capacity and a high light output. The best feature for me is the adjustable head to direct the light where it is needed.
When storms caused power outages, the Outask gave an abundance of light in a set up time of just seconds. The output was sufficient to have a room well-lit for safety and to let people know the home was occupied. I could cook, do repairs, read, apply first aid, and organise other lights, power sources etc.
The rotating and swivelling head lets me direct the light where I want it, particularly for my fishing when I don’t want the light shining in the water. The ability to raise the light on the telescopic pole makes it more efficient than a light on the ground (that is why home lighting is on the ceilings and street lighting is on poles), so by using the telescopic and directional features, I can run the light on a lower setting but get the same effect. This extends the battery run time.
High light output generates high heat that can lead to product failure. The Outask deals with this using an aluminium alloy head with holes bored through it. I understand that heat generated by the light is absorbed into the metal. In the horizontal position, as the heat rises, it draws air from underneath the head through the holes, to dissipate the heat more efficiently, like the radiator in my car. Reducing the heat should extend the life of the Outask over those lights that do not have this feature.
The aluminium-alloy telescoping pole is smooth and strong. The light output is excellent in either, the bright white or warm white modes, with three levels of adjustment. For photographers it could make for fast, easy to set up, capable lighting.
Optional extras expand the usefulness of the Outask. The case is of such a high quality, it could pass for military grade. It has a carry handle for the light in torch (flashlight) mode and offers valuable protection for my investment. By using the strap at the rear of the case I can attach the Outask to the molle points on my backpack for easy access. This is ideal when arriving in the dark with the need for fast lighting to set up camp. I don’t even have to take it off my backpack, just extend the pole and turn on the light.
Optional lampshades convert the Outask to a nice table lamp with soft lighting and the red lampshade is great for safety for car breakdowns, (when using the S.O.S. function), a warning light to mark a campsite or hazard or night lighting that does not affect my night vision. Red and yellow lighting is less attractive to insects. The Outask has a USB port for emergency charging of my phone or devices.
Whether camping, fishing, working, during emergencies, photography, barbecues or just out on the patio, the Outask is versatile enough to cover many scenarios. As a premium product made from quality materials, it attracts a higher price, but I expect it to outlast cheaper copies and not let me down when I need it the most.
The MARS Air Sofa 02 is one of those pieces of gear you don’t realise you need until you use it. It’s insanely convenient and quick to set up, easy to pack down and surprisingly comfortable for an inflatable sofa. The build feels sturdy, the material holds up well outdoors and it fits perfectly into a camping or weekend adventure setup.
The GREEN STOVE Focus has quickly become one of our favourite camp essentials. It’s compact, efficient and so easy to use, especially on long days outdoors when you just want something that works without fuss. The build quality feels solid, the flame control is smooth and consistent, and it boils water surprisingly fast for its size.
What we love most is how reliable it is in windy conditions, uneven surfaces, early mornings, late nights… it doesn’t miss a beat. It packs down neatly, fits perfectly with the rest of my gear and makes camp cooking simple and stress-free.
We took this on our 3 week tour of Tasmania and it didn't lose a drop. The durability is great, the tap is perfect as you can twist it to adjust if needed. Highly recommend over other jerries on the market.
