    That pot looks similar to mine. I picked up a pot at a boot sale for £3.00. Didnt know much about it. Got home and did some research to find out it was a four dogs Mors 8 pot by mors kochanski , well chuffed with it. Used it a few times already and love it

    Thanks for the review and as a dual use (repellent and lamp) it looks really good!

    The point you made about charging is a good one. If you are out on a multi day trip this could be a problem. A net does not need batteries and generally won’t break down. Car camping is definitely an option. I like to keep things simple like your puck stove.

    Well I went on your recommendation Neil! I just bought one and I’ve got to say I am impressed with it. The light given off is excellent in my opinion, and I have to say in mid December I haven’t yet seen a mozzie 😂

    Recently bought one of these and tested it out on a recent trip to the Lake District, which it worked really well I found that if using it for a picnic it’s good to set it off a good few minutes before you sit down.. great bit of kit.

    Great review, love the idea of a mozzie repellant and light in one.
    Im hoping to do Norway on the motorbike next year so looks to be a great bit of kit to take along.

      The website says 8-10 hours per pad so you should be good with one a day

    Thamkyou for the review Neil. I have been looking at one of theses and thought it may be to good to te true. I wonder if you could charge this from a battery pack..... I'm assuming so. Do you or anyone in the comments know if this would be an option.

    • @wurzella1
      @wurzella1 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Shouldn't be an issue, usb devices don't generally know what they're connected to, just that there's power available. It's a decent sized battery though, 4800mAh, more than most mobile phones, so you're going to need a big power bank (or a couple) for a multi day trip.
