#FeastOutdoors - enjoy your garden in the winter too!

As we all settle into our 4 week lockdown , here at IBEX Camping we thought we'd share some of our great products that can be enjoyed in the garden during the Autumn / Winter months too ... a great way to extend your enjoyment of the garden. 

In recent days our enquiries for Coleman Event Shelter spares have increased a little , we are wondering if perhaps customers are planning a little out of season use. Always remember your Coleman Event Shelter is designed for occasional use and long periods of use in the garden may deteriorate the Flysheet over time , they are readily available to buy as spares and reasonably priced too! The Coleman Deluxe Event Shelter offers a little more protection being Waterproof & steel Poles , we would always recommend taking your event shelter down between uses.

Your garden is a great place to enjoy any time of the year , cosy up around a fire table in the evenings with one of Netherton Foundry's Pure Iron Fire Tables , available in 2 sizes and arriving very soon at IBEX Camping 

Enjoy a little outdoor feasting with an Netherton Foundry  outdoor hob , or chapa table both from Netherton Foundry and made from Pure Iron too! Built to last and give many years of use. Or why not an outdoor tagine , all made in the UK , with either a hand thrown and decorated Netherton Foundry Outdoor Tagine with ceramic tagine top or Netherton Foundry Outdoor Tagine hand spun copper tagine top , these make a lovely gift too!  The Netherton Foundry Chapa  is available as a solid top table ... great for the stove top too! makes perfect english muffins ..... tried and tested by the team @ IBEX Camping or with a The Netherton Foundry  Chapa BBQ top to give a more traditional chargrill effect to your food , combine with a Chapa fire table to protect your grass. The Netherton Foundry Outdoor Hob lasts for up to 4 hours from one single fill of charcoal , with a grid top you can cook directly on top too! stays warm for up to 7 hours , the Netherton Foundry Outdoor Hob is also the base for the Outdoor Tagine too. 

A little chilly to cook outdoors? why not enjoy a hot chocolate with a Ghillie Kettle , available in 3 size and made in the UK the ghillie kettle is incredibly popular amongst forest school establishments and give an opportunity for the whole family to engage in nature a little while enjoying a hot chocolate! Which size should you choose? out most popular size is the  1.5l Adventurer Ghillie Kettle with the 1.0l Explorer a close second ...to use a ghillie Kettle you fill the outer kettle with water , then light a small fire in the base , anything organic will do , then simply place the kettle on top (never let the kettle boil dry or put on the fire empty) the whistle stays in place so you know when the water has boiled. Then simply add some hot chocolate powder and enjoy! 

Looking to spend a little time in the garden over the winter months , our range of Tweedmill Recycled Wool Blankets are perfect for wrapping up , available in 2 sizes The Tweedmill Rug 120 x 150cm  and the larger Tweedmill Recycled Wool Rug 150 x 183cm , these rugs are made in britain from the offcuts of Tweedmills New Pure Wool products , each one is beautifully unique and with a checked pattern contemporarily traditional too!

Shopping online with IBEX Camping - eco friendly packing , we're making changes

Here at IBEX Camping , being an online retailer we are becoming ever more conscious on the need for eco friendly packing. We're trying hard to work on this and are trying to replace our existing packing with a more environmentally friendly option as it needs replacing... 

Since September we have introduced Sugar Cane Mailing bags to replace 2 of our sizes already , we're adding a 3rd very soon. 

These eco Friendly Mailing bags are made from Sustainably sourced Sugar cane and are carbon Neutral  - The Carbon dioxide taken from the atmosphere in the growing  process offsets the carbon dioxide emitted through production and transport. They are also fully recyclable. 

Thanks to the team @ Kite Packaging for supplying this great alternative to traditional plastic mailing bags , we're looking forward to adding more sizes as soon as we need to! 

Another change we made over the summer months was to have our parcel flyers printed on recycled and fully Recyclable made from 350gsm card with all the information you need to introduce us plus a voucher code too! 

We're working on making our changes as our existing stock needs replenishing ... stay in touch for more updates :)
