Say hello to men's boots

When it comes to shoes, we men are simple creatures. We love our trainers and will make the occasional foray into wingtip territory, but rarely do we become more adventurous. Too bad. The focus in the boot world may typically fall on women, but the truth is that UK winters provide the perfect opportunity for men to explore these wonderful creations as well. We may tend to think only of those boots that provide the most utility wellies and hiking boots come to mind but there are many others that shouldn t be overlooked. Here s a few of my favourites to send you on your way to embracing the boot: The dress boot A well-polished Oxford may have gotten you through your interview, but a solid dress boot will help keep you interesting. In this category, black is the colour of choice as it is naturally dressy, but if you insist on a brown leather boot make sure the leather is smooth and the shade is dark

Camping Essentials

It is not very often that one gets a chance to get away from his or her daily life and enjoy a trip to the outdoors. If you have a chance to pry yourself away from your routine, there is nothing better than living in the solitude of the wilderness for a short time. Grab your tent and sleeping bags and leave your cell phones and iPads behind for a breath of fresh air and a chance to recuperate in the wild. While I would prefer to head out into the wild with nothing more than the bare essentials, it is always nice to be able to live in some form of luxury when you are on holiday. Roasting sausages over the open flame has always earned its rightful place on every camping trip, as has fishing, but unless you aim to fish for pleasure on this trip, leave the fishing rod at home and bring along a light set of cookware. With light and durable titanium camping cookware, it will only take so much as a flame to cook your gourmet breakfast and five course dinners each and every day. The ...

Camping adventures on & off the trail

The camping season is not quite here yet, but if you are planning on going this spring or summer, now is the time to start planning. Once you have chosen your destination and booked your campsite, you are going to need to get your essential camping gear together. First and foremost, you are going to want to stay comfortable and warm throughout the night. Whether you go during the spring, summer or fall, it is vital that you have the best 3 season sleeping bag available. You do not want to be caught in the wilderness with too little, because at that point it will be too late. Staying warm through the night is key to a successful trip, but equally important is a sturdy jacket that will get you through the unpredictable weather. Nothing will serve you better than a winter 3-in-1 jacket

What to wear: Ski lodge chic

With all the positive things snowboarding has done for winter recreation, there s one area in which the sport has failed to make a positive impact: fashion. You may not agree with me, but every time I strip off my snow ski jacket and look around the lodge, I can t help but bemoan the noticeable lack of style surrounding me. Gone are the days of Jean Claude-Killy and his uber-cool shades and brightly-coloured sweaters. Instead, 20-something bums trudge about in ill-fitting cargo pants and sweat-stained thermals without realising the fashion opportunities in front of them. I m pleading with you: don t join these heathens. Here are a few looks you should be sporting in the lodge this winter. The top: The ski lodge is the most logical place to get your style on during a winter holiday, but it s also imperative that you dress for the weather
