"Firepot has been five years in the making. As adventurists trekking through Greenland, we wanted our hikes to be punctuated by slow-cooked, natural food that tasted delicious. We wanted a healthy, hearty meal that didn’t weigh us down or keep us waiting. And we couldn’t find it anywhere.
So we made our own in a Dorset barn — delicious, nutritious, dehydrated slow-cooked meals inspired by our travels. We’ve kept it lightweight and easy to use so it can be enjoyed from the heights of the Himalayas to the fjords of Chile. All you have to do is add water."

Vegan Orzo Bolognese
"A rich tomato and oregano sauce with protein-packed soya. Served with rice-shaped pasta.
Italian Comfort Food with a Twist
Our vegan orzo bolognese is a twist on the classic Italian dish.
Instead of beef mince, we use healthy soya; instead of spaghetti, we used orzo — tiny, rice-shaped pasta. To this we add a delicate balance of oregano and star anise, mixed in a traditional tomato sauce.
This is a meal guaranteed to please the whole family, offering a real a taste of Italian comfort food when you’re far away from home."

Orzo Bolognese delicious, Vegan Chilli also good, but the Firepot Dal with Spinach was almost inedible as it included red chillis which burned my mouth and took away any taste. In my experience you always need to add extra water to Firepot meals and allow more than the recommended 15 mins - although the rice in the Dal meal never fully rehydrated.

Porcini Mushroom Risotto
"Risotto has always been a favourite in our household. We like to make it the old school way — rich and creamy, with just the right amount of bite. We’ve tasted many different risottos in our search for the best recipe, but nothing could beat the ones that were packed with mushrooms. So we use two kinds: dried porcini, soaked to create a delicious, satisfying stock, and grilled chestnut mushrooms. And we don’t chop our mushrooms finely like a lot of our competitors. You’ll find big, juicy slices, just like you would if you made it at home. Finished with lemon juice and fresh parsley, our risotto is guaranteed to warm you whether you’re eating atop a mountain or round the kitchen table. "

Great
Great price, fast delivery, highly recommend.
Very light weight, plenty of pockets.
You forget you’re wearing it
I have had a Terra Nova Compact for several years now and have used it on hiking, cycling and motorcycling trip and have found it to be a good compact tent except when it is windy when the sides billow in a lot.
The All Season is designed to have more rigid sides and generally succeeds, the greater internal space is good but there is no longer enough room in the vestibule for panniers or a rucksack but they do fit inside now.
I would still use the original Compact for hiking due to the weight saving but I am sure the AS is perfectly suitable for this as well.
This is a small upgrade on the Silva Expedition.
The baseplate is the same, and very usable. The needle seems to settle a little faster, and a must have declination adjustment.
What sold it to me was the overall appearance. It does look professionally made, with the nostalgic look of some of the very early Silva compasses that I used.
