Been using Naturehike products, I own top of the line brand gear, and theirs is right on par. No issues and durable.

Joolca shower base is very cool - and clips onto the car mounted ensuite so really works well together. Note it is heavier than you might expect - but quality as per usual. I've had the double ensuite with 'veranda' and now use my single mounted shower tent.

I reckon the shower base will be a popular one ~ Lauren

I don’t tent camp these days anymore (I love my converted campervan), but the screw-in pegs have been an absolute game changer for me, especially in harder ground. Like it was said in this episode, I’d never go back. Sure, some people make fun of them and reckon anyone can hammer in a tent peg, but not everyone can, or wants to put in that much effort. And there’s no shame in that!

yeah really not that hard to bang in a peg into caravan park grass vs bringing another power tool.

Joolca have also developed a 3-way self contained camping toilet which looks to be the most affordable toilet with composting function… maybe you can review and stock this when they become available!

Naturehike is a budget Chinese brand. Some of their early products can be problematic. I have two of their green self-inflating sleeping pads with twisting cap valves that you can blow air into, but they leak at the seams. The leaks started to happen in week three of our car camping trip, which was after about 15 cycles of unfolding, inflating, sleeping on, and folding the pads after use. After we returned from the trip, we found several leak spots at the seams on both pads. I have yet to find a good way to seal those seam leaks. However, their sleeping bag is actually pretty soft, warm, light, and compact (not ultralight but very good for car camping). I'm quite happy with those.

Thanks for your feedback! We've sold out of most of their gear in a matter of days, and its one of the highest demanded brands. At the end of the day, entry level gear has a place - if it makes getting out and enjoying nature affordable, thats a great thing. Its often a stepping stone to investing in more quality gear down the line. Glad you love your sleeping bag. ~ Lauren

"The Outdoor gear review" does a lot of Nature hike reviews.

Lauren, can you please let Ben finish talking and stop interrupting him. It's like hanging out with my sister. The old adage about when other people are talking you are just waiting for the chance to speak.
