With forecasts bleak and staycations expected to peak this year, we canvassed votes for the hottest stoves out there.
The Brexit process has had few upsides, no matter your political leanings – unless, that is, you happen to be into camping. Our ever-widening rift with the Continent has boosted the domestic holiday, with UK bookings rising by a fifth to 46% since the referendum. As a result, the number of camping trips taken by British adults has grown to nearly 18 million per year. And there’s good reason for this (beyond the weak pound).
Aside from the considerable calorie burn that an outdoor yomp delivers, camping will help you sleep more soundly. A study at the University of Colorado Boulder found that the circadian rhythms of test subjects were reset after spending time away from artificial light. Scientists at the University of Michigan also discovered that communing with nature for just a few minutes can reduce depressive symptoms, which are far more prevalent among city-dwellers.
Head out fully prepared: you need to invest in the kit to match your al-fresco culinary ambitions. We enlisted adventurer Thom Hunt, founder of wild experience provider 7th Rise*, to test the finest camping stoves against the British elements. Regardless of what the weather throws at you this spring, you’ll be happy campers indeed.
