Best Backpacking Accesssory

When it comes to camping and outdoor kit, the Scandinavians certainly know their stuff. From Sweden, this cooking kit from Light My Fire contains absolutely everything for the camper whose culinary ambitions extend beyond adding hot water to a packet of dried spag bol. But even if you never cook a thing, you’d want this in your camping kit simply because it looks so good.

The 19-piece kit includes a weatherproof firestarter and all-natural Tinder-on-a-Rope to get your campfire going, plus two Grandpa’s FireForks and a versatile Grandpa’s FireGrill for cooking. The lidded cups, plates and sporks have a beautifully ergonomic Nordic look to them, but our favourite piece has to be the super-cute salt and pepper shaker. In predictable Scandi style, the tablewate is made from an eco-friendly, biomass-based material called Ecozen. It is developed from European growm, GM-free corn starch.
