Looking for a big blade with value and durability? The Kershaw Camp 10 machete has been widely praised for both! Cut, slash, hack, split, scrape ... just about any task you ask of it, the Camp 10 Tan can handle. From clearing brush in the south to making kindling in the desert, the Camp 10 is the ideal outdoor and survival tool. A 10-inch blade provides hacking power in a perfect size with full-tang construction. For the geeks, the Camp 10 has a 65Mn steel, durable carbon, black powdercoated steel blade. A glass-filled nylon handle with a rubberised mold offering a secure grip … but wait, there's more … included is a glass-filled nylon sheath with gear straps and belt loop! It’s available in All-Black or Coyote Tan. RRP is $159.95 – but mention Western 4W Driver magazine and it’s $20 off at Go Camping and Overlanding. 9/58 Erindale Road, Balcatta www.gocampingoverlanding.com.au

The undisputed leader in outdoor hydration for the last 30 years surely has to be Camelbak. They not only lead the market in those packs with drinking hoses, but they are also super popular in the regular drinkware category, including a strong and durable 350ml camp mug! Constructed with a double-walled, vacuuminsulated stainless steel with a powder coat finish keeps it looking good on the outside and piping hot on the inside. The lid slides open for flow control and is spill-resistant. A non-slip silicone pad on the base provides a soft landing on surfaces to avoid scratches and spills. Thrills too!!

Looking for a talking piece in your camp chef collection? Look no further than the Overland Knife. The ultra-tough canvas Micarta handle has a contoured pommel and machined lanyard eyelet for a sure and comfortable grip for any sized task around the campsite. A 60/40 blade grind moves additional weight over the cutting edge and the ballistic clip point adds strength to the tip. Despite the extra heft, the Overland Chef's Knife is surprisingly responsive and lively when used on a cutting board. Staying sharp is key, so in use is nitro cobalt steel (sounds like something from the drag strip) which will hold a terrific edge that is easy to restore. They are made in Maniago, Italy and built to be rugged and versatile, and just because it's awesome, there's also a hidden bottle opener in the butt of the handle for your convenience. Not something to lose around the camp as prices start at over $300!! Go Camping and Overlanding. 9/58 Erindale Road, Balcatta www.gocampingoverlanding.com.au
