Yet to have a flavour from these guys I don’t like , a great snack for day hikes, or even a multi day

Recently purchased some of this ice cream from past outdoors and I can’t get enough of this stuff. Fantastically creamy, and tastes like the real thing. Will definitely order more.

Hi Dave, Alli and Kris, thanks for the excellent, prompt service and new kit. I wanted to drop in size from a Jetboil - which is a great product - and the Soto Amicus is perfect. Light, tiny and packs a punch. Easily sits a pan, or the 1lt PAST cup or a stove top espresso maker. Thanks Tim

Awesome chair very light and easy to pack due to small size

What an awesome mug stays warm for Eva and easy to clean

Great addition to your back pack for a day hike or to add to your camping/overnight/travel first aid kit.

This chai mix really surprised me. I love that you can taste the spices like cinnamon and cardamom and that it has the sweetness of honey. I’m already on my second tin. Will be packing some out for my next hike.

After testing out this sleeping bag on multiple trips, I can confidently say it’s a game-changer for lightweight camping. It strikes the perfect balance between warmth and portability, making it an excellent choice for hikers, campers, and anyone looking to cut down on pack weight without sacrificing comfort.

One of the standout features is how warm it is. Even in chilly conditions, it holds heat exceptionally well, keeping me toasty all night. The insulation is efficient without being bulky, which is a huge plus for ultralight camping.

Despite its warmth, this bag is impressively lightweight. It packs down small, making it easy to fit into my gear without adding unnecessary bulk.

Rather than using it traditionally, I’ve been unzipping it and laying it over me like a quilt. By slipping the bottom over my sleeping mat, I get the best of both worlds—warmth and flexibility. This setup allows for better temperature control, especially if it’s not freezing but still a bit cool at night.

If you’re after a warm, ultralight, and versatile sleeping bag, this one is well worth considering. Whether zipped up snug or draped like a quilt, it adapts to different camping styles effortlessly. Highly recommended!

My g1000s needed re-waterproofing and this was easy to use, a quick go over and finish with an iron! Simple

This is by far the best BC meal I have had. First time was on Hannels Spur in Kosciuszko and recently took another meal on the Routeburn track in NZ. ( ok to carry it from Au to NZ). It tastes like you have cooked it fresh from home. Thanks Dave from PAST for the recommendation.

Have been trying to get a pair of these for years but never able to get them in Australia. Nearly had them drop shipped from USA then found out they had them at PAST. Stoked to be able to support a local retailer. Oh and the sandals are everything I dreamed for. Solid and stable enough to hike in, fly fish warmer water. Perfect camping companion.

Took a bunch of off grid pouches on a canoe trip. Delicious camp fare

Whole intact chorizo was a spin out. So good though.

So delicious for a luxe camp mission.

Love the comfort of the wide toe box on these clogs and that you can adjust fit at 3 points. Kris was super helpful in store when choosing.
