Win an Alpkit Go Box

What is a Go Box?

Well, it's a box (any box will do), that you keep packed with everything you need for whatever adventures you like to go on. Keep it in your car, store it under the bed, have it waiting by the door. No more excuses that you can't find your head torch, no forgetting to replace your gas, no leaving your Ti mug at work: when the opportunity to get out presents itself, you'll be ready.

So what do you put in your Go Box?

It depends what you're getting up to really, but there are some fundamentals that you're not going to want to forget. Where ever you're heading, you'll need to eat, you'll need to stay hydrated, you'll need to see when night falls, and you'll need to carry your rubbish away with you when you head off… So why not start with that? We'd recommend the following, which is exactly what you've got a chance of winning:

  • Koro mountaineering stove
  • Alipots 4-piece pan set 
  • Concertina windbreak
  • Splitta Table
  • TiMigos + Snapwire cutlery
  • Kelvin insulated titanium mug
  • Clip flask
  • Viper II + Gamma III Headtorch
  • Trinity Lantern
