    10 Camp Master Camping Essentials Every Woman Needs – Tested By Us

    by

    Finding the right camping essentials for women can make all the difference on your outdoor trips. We tested Camp Master items to see which deliver the perfect blend of performance and ease of use. These 10 must-haves will help you enjoy every moment in nature with confidence.

    1. Camp Master Self-Inflating 10cm Mattress

    Rest assured, your sleep stats can remain intact with the right gear. Open the valves and this mattress automatically inflates to give a thick, comfortable surface with unparalleled support and insulation.

    2.  Camp Master Adventure First Aid Kit

    This 25-piece kit keeps you safe with a CPR device, bandages, a pair of scissors, antiseptic sachet, chaffing cream and more.

    Available at Makro and Game

    3. Camp Master Virunga Canvas Dome Tent

    If you want to buy nice to avoid buying twice, canvas tents are the obvious choice. While they’re more of an investment, they’re one that’s well worth it. Canvas tents are renowned for their durability, water-resistance and ability to protect you from the elements. And the Virunga is the epitome of spacious luxury, sleeping five people in its 3m x 3m, 2.25m-tall space. A stand-out feature for female adventurers is that you’re getting an impenetrable fortress so you can feel at ease while outdoors. Made from 320g rip-stop canvas – which is woven with a reinforcing technique – it’s resistant to tearing and ripping. Strong, safe and sturdy, it’s a palatial tent that’ll accompany you on adventures far and wide.

    Available at Makro only

    4. Camp Master 45L Summit Cooler Box

    Big enough to fit everything you need without encroaching on much-needed car packing space, this hard cooler will be the MVP of many an adventure. PU foam insulation, durable hinges and strong flush latches ensure secure sealing, to keep food cold for seven days. And the attention to detail doesn’t stop there. While carry handles on other coolers may pinch your fingers, the strong handles  (with a built-in bottle opener) on these provide enough space for your hands to give you a pain- and frustration-free experience. There’s a drainage plug so you can let out water as your ice melts – which helps keep your cooler colder for longer – and the lid is also complete with four cup holders and a measuring tape for fishing. Talk about everything but the kitchen sink!

    5. Camp Master Expedition 300C Sleeping Bag

    The 300 g/m filling, terry cotton inner and spacious interior give a duvet-like experience with a cowl shape that wraps snugly to protect you from cold drafts. But comfort doesn’t mean compromising on durability. It’s been designed to withstand the outdoors with weather-resistance, high tear-resistance and abrasion-resistance. All that for just 2kg pack weight? Love!

    Available at Makro only

    6. Camp Master 30cm Round Skillet Cast-Iron Pan

    (like pizza, shakshouka or pancakes) with this cast-iron pan that can be used on any heat source. Bonus: the high heat retention and even heat distribution.

    Available at Makro only

    7. Camp Master 50L Hi-Lid Ammo Crate

    All the gear and no idea how to store or pack it? These stackable crates have increased storage height, latches to secure and cup holders on the lid.

    Available at Makro, Game and Builders

    8. Camp Master Large Picnic Blanket

    Four-corner pockets – you can fill with rocks or sand – ensure this stylish picnic blanket stays put and a waterproof backing prevents moisture or dampness from seeping through.

    Available at Makro only

    9. Camp Master 2000 Lumens Rechargeable Lantern

    Remain visible and safe with this powerful, illuminating lantern that gives 3.5 hours of run-time on a single charge. The four light modes mean all your lighting needs are catered for and the hook at the bottom gives you the ability to suspend it in your tent so you can read, too.

    Available at Makro only

    10. Camp Master Grand Mega Chair

    Elevate your outdoor relaxation experience with a chair that has your back (and entire body) thanks to an oversized design, plush padding and sturdy construction that supports 150kg of weight. But it’s the built-in features that truly secure its spot within the outdoor gear hall of fame. It has a wine glass holder, insulated cup holder, bottle opener and – get this? – a built-in cooler bag to keep your drinks not only close, but cool, too! We can’t guarantee you won’t be side-eyeing your couch upon returning home, contemplating replacing it with an ensemble of these do-everything chairs.

    Available at Makro and Builders

    Whatever your destination, upgrade your adventure with Camp Master – exclusively available at Game and Makro stores countrywide or their websites.

      Free Your Stride With The HOKA Arahi 8 

      by

      Let’s be real – most running shoes make you pick between cushion or control. But what if you didn’t have to choose? That’s exactly what the HOKA Arahi 8 is all about.

      What’s New?

      H‑Frame™ stability

      Out with the old J‑Frame, in with the new H‑Frame™. This fresh design supports your foot from both sides, giving you smoother, more natural stability – without that stiff, “corrective” feel.

      Softer, lighter midsole

      HOKA brought in even softer foam and more heel cushioning for a lighter, bouncier ride. It’s still protective, just with a cloud-like upgrade you’ll actually feel.

      Cooler, comfier upper

      Double jacquard mesh, a gusseted tongue and a redesigned heel all work together for a snug fit that stays breathable and blister-free – yes, please.

      APMA Approved

      It’s officially approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association, which basically means it’s foot doctor–approved for supporting your stride.

      Smoother support

      The Arahi 8 gives guidance for mild to moderate overpronation, but without bulky heel posts or stiffness.

      All-day wearability

      From your morning jog to your 8-hour shift (and maybe a grocery run after?), this shoe stays comfy from start to finish.

      Ready for anything

      Rain, shine, short jogs, long walks – this one’s built to last and grip where it counts.

      The Arahi 8 is for those who want a stability shoe that doesn’t feel like a stability shoe. It’s light, cushioned and supportive in all the right places. Whether you’re correcting overpronation, easing into a fitness routine, or just looking for an ultra-comfy daily trainer – this one checks all the boxes.

      Shop The HOKA Arahi 8

      The Arahi 8 maintains a secure ride while using softer materials than its predecessor. The secret lies in our modified H-frame™ technology. A stabilising system that combats overpronation while providing a smooth entry into the gait cycle, we’ve paired our intuitive H-frame™ with a sleek jacquard upper and low-profile tooling to deliver a streamlined stability shoe with unprecedented cushioning.

      Here’s Why You Should Eat More Avo – Starting With This Breakfast

      by

      Avocados are good for a lot more than upping the aesthetic value of your plate. They’re rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, which can provide slow-release energy. And these good fats help keep you fuelled for any fitness regime. Plus, they help with the absorption of some vitamins and protect your heart.

      READ MORE: 5 Genius Ways To Ripen An Avocado Even Faster

      The Health Perks Of Avo

      If you’re a fitness bunny, you should know that your post-workout recovery is just as important as your training itself.
 And avocados contain potassium (double than what’s in bananas, FYI), which helps prevent cramps and supports muscle recovery. The anti-inflammatory properties in avocados even help reduce post-exercise soreness (goodbye DOMS!).

      And if you’ve always had a gut (wink wink) feeling that avos are good for you, you would be correct! Avocados contain prebiotics and fibre to support digestive health, keeping your gut microbiome well-balanced – which can improve nutrient absorption and even support immune function.

      All of this means that you can fuel smarter, recover faster and keep your gut healthier with the power of avocados. So go on, just add an avo!

      Sleep is essential for women’s health, but certain obstacles often prevent them from getting the sleep they need. Hormonal fluctuations during menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause significantly impact sleep quality.

Menopause introduces challenges like hot flashes and night sweats, further disrupting sleep patterns.​Beyond biological factors, societal roles often burden women. Balancing work, family, and other responsibilities can lead to stress and reduced sleep quality. Studies indicate that women are more likely to report poor sleep quality and frequent awakenings than men.​READ MORE: This Chamomile Smoothie Will Make Falling Asleep Easier Than EverGood Sleep PracticesAddressing these challenges involves good sleep hygiene practices.Consistent Sleep Schedule: Getting to bed and waking up at the same time daily regulates the body’s internal clock.​
