We've bought our Takahe 10 nine years ago from Equip Outdoors and it's been fantastic. It's been used most years with some serious weather thrown at it and no issues. In the high winds it flexes better than most tents around and we've had impressed campers commenting on how well it handles nasty winds. The fly seams are starting to show a few leaks now so we will reseal it and carry on. Putting it up isn't too complicated . The front "lobby" room is awesome when it gets rainy and let's plenty of ventilation through for drying towels etc. No parts have broken and we'd definitely look at getting another Takahe when we need a 2nd tent

Good kit, everything needed is included

So glad we found this. Had an old fashioned one years ago Alluminium but now have a bright shiny stainless steel one, Coffee fix daily in our caravan. Thanks

Nearly 60 years ago I bought my first Trangia stove in Stockholm after working with the Finnish border patrol out of Rovaniemi. They used them exclusively in winter and summer. Now the original has traveled the world with me and never once failed as long as an alcohol fuel could be obtained. (Trangia will run on Polish pure spirit!)There is one piece of maintenance, a good clean once a year and my stove is ready to go fishing or tramping again. It will work at minus 20 Deg C provided it is warmed with a little priming fuel is poured around the rim to aid in starting; Matches work best for winter use otherwise a fire striker will ignite it. I now use mine with a cross frame to support a small pot which the stove and all the gubbins fit into nicely. There is only one drawback; compared with gas or gasoline it is slow, 4 to 8 minutes to boil 500 ml of water and a windshield is a must. On the plus side fuel is $7/8 a liter which lasts on average for some 3 weeks of tramping with 4 brews and 2 meals per day. One suggestion for prospective purchasers: Buy a Trangia fuel bottle with it, these make filling so much easier and safer. Bonus: it is tops for the environment. Does not wear out and the fuel is totally sustainable and probably made in New Zealand

It fits my "Original Grill Mini Fire Anchor" in it perfectly with room to spare for tongs, gloves, wire cleaning brush etc. The padding is better than I thought it would be, which will protect my gear. The price is right for this product. I may be buying another one of this size or the larger one for my new foldable wood stove for a hot tent - that is on its way as I type.
