KLEAN KANTEEN INSULATION BOTTLES

Featuring food-grade stainless steel construction, Klean

Kanteen’s Insulation bottle range is brilliant for your camp

kitchen and built to last. The stainless steel option means

no BPA and/or toxins in the material that contains your

water and there are no problems with taste/odour retention

like there are in plastic water bottles. The Insulation range

is vast, ranging from bottles in various sizes (as featured

here) through to coffee mugs and more. Klean claims up to

100 hours of keeping water cool in these jobbies, achieved

via its unique double-wall insulation (dubbed Climate Lock

Vacuum Insulation by Klean). The bottle range also includes

standard (44mm) and wide-mouth (54mm) openings. And

yeah, it’ll also keep that tea/coffee warm for ages. Yes!

THE CATCH: THE STORY OF FISHING IN

AUSTRALIA

Fishing is one of Australia’s most popular pastimes, with

an estimated 3.5 million Aussies throwing a line in each

year. In fact, the net worth of recreational and commercial

fishing is in the billions of dollars. Writer Anna Clark delves

into Australian fishing’s rich history, starting off with its

importance to indigenous Australians. The techniques used

by indigenous anglers, including details on the innovative line

fishing techniques of indigenous women, are covered. Clark

follows the early days of the colonial fishing industry, when

keeping the fish fresh for market was one of the problems

faced, and then details

how the commercial

industry exploded in the

1970s, nearly imploded

due to over-fishing by

the 1990s, and became

the hi-tech industry of

today. A cracking read

for all anglers.

ROLA TITAN FLAT TRAY SYSTEM
This new flat roof-rack system from ROLA is made from
anodised aluminium, so it’s light rust-resistant. It’s available
in a number of sizes: 1200x1200mm, 1500x1200mm,
1800x1200mm and 2000x1200mm. The Titan has an optional
side rail kit and plenty of other accessories, including
recovery track mounts, LED light bar bracket, jerry can and
gas bottle holders, spare-wheel holder and awning bracket.
The Titan will fit most popular off-road vehicles, is rated up
to 300kg (check your rig’s roof-weight limit, of course) and
comes with a five-year warranty. The patented design allows
for the mounting of accessories on all sides of the tray,
and the tray has been engineered and extensively tested in
Australian touring conditions. Look for an extensive test in an
upcoming issue.

WAECO CFX75DZW FRIDGE/FREEZER

This new twin-compartment fridge/freezer from Waeco

continues the company’s push into Wi-Fi tech, which means

temperatures can be monitored remotely via the Dometic CFX

app on your smartphone or tablet. The fridge/freezer features

improved Variable Motor Speed Optimisation, enabling the

compressor to maintain optimum cooling speed via ‘soft start’

or ‘turbo’ modes, and a three-stage battery protection set-up.

It measures 887mm (W) x 472mm (H) x 495mm (D), with a

weight of 20.5kg. The low power draw is the result of thicker

insulation in the unit. Inside, there’s LED lighting, and the

evaporator plates are mounted flush, enabling easy cleaning.

There’s also a USB charge point and tough latches, hinges

and handles for securing it to your cargo area.
