Campfire blankets everyone wants

Every camper knows that a good blanket is something we all need and is required. Kammok offers an essential Kammok Blanket that easily transitions from backyard firepit to backcountry elements. The Bobcat 7ºC down backpacking quilt provides warmth on the go. 

The latest Kammok blanket shapeshifts from a hands-free poncho to a backpacking sleeping bag or a hammock underquilt as a simple campfire warmer. 

Snuggle under one of these blankets, and you won’t want to move. Easy to pack, easy to clean. Seven colours to choose from, and it’s simply one of those investment pieces that will last a lifetime and one that will be grabbed from the pile of blankets faster than you can say sing-along. 

The Kammok blanket is a perfect gift for the camper in your family who might not consider it a necessity, but we promise they will love you for it.

UBCO Bikes changing the future of travel

“E-Bike Sales To Grow From 3.7 Million To 17 Million Per Year By 2030, Forecast Industry Experts” – Forbes

The era of e-bikes has arrived, and it seems that everyone is jumping on the bandwagon, which is good for not only the environment but also the pocketbook. Early adopters are being used in case studies throughout the entire sector because who better to share the benefits than those who have stepped up to the battery pack and plugged in.

At OGAC, we did the same and decided to listen to our customers. We wanted to know their experience from the way they researched to the point of purchase and after-sales experience with the bike and our team. A whopping 40% of our inquiries turn into sales, which tells us we are on to something.

So, fellow Off-Gridders, consider this a good Part One to a possible trilogy of case studies. Consider it a campfire conversation where you can lay back, look at the stars and hear stories and legends that stay with us.

Story One:

WHY: I farm sheep and lambs on 800 acres. I saw the bike at a local dealer in 2017 and thought it would be an excellent idea for the farm—an easy way to check lambing ewes without disturbing them. The bike has proven to be exceptional at this. I can move freely throughout the paddocks whilst leaving the stock calm and relaxed.

BENEFITS: Some of my country is hilly, and the UBCO is so easy to ride it makes the journey’s enjoyable. The bike is lightweight and super easy to transport – I remove the battery and single-handedly can lift the frame onto the back of the ute for transporting. I ride the UBCO every day to either check stock or move from one job to another. It saves me time and makes life on the farm that much easier.

COST: This should be part of the benefits. Not only is it simple but it costs a fraction to run compared to conventional petrol bikes and is suitable for the environment.

RECOMMENDATION: I highly recommend the UBCO to any farmer looking for something to use on the farm.

Take a Trip into the Wild

Do you have a favourite feeling or sensation that lets you know that you have exerted energy and are exhausted –but that good kind of exhaustion? I once heard a young woman talking about her feeling when she takes her ski boots and helmet off. Her feet pulsate in a way that tells her they have worked hard, and her forehead itches a little from being tucked away all day.
