Doggy Adventures

Don't forget your dog when heading out for an adventure! Many dog owners don’t think about to take their dogs exploring with them when heading outside on an adventure, however there are plenty of dog-friendly opportunities available these days, so plan something unique with your 4 legged friend. If you are thinking about taking your dog with you, remember to choose a trip or location that won't be too strenuous for them or dangerous. If your dog is older, with mobility issues, a short walk on the beach would be an ideal adventure.…continue reading →

MK3 Odeo Flare™ LED FLARE

I have always been enthusiast about safety in all aspects of my life, especially in my outdoor hobbies and sports. I don't want safety to get in the way or stop me from doing things. I want innovative safety equipment that can be used as a when required, but not get in the way when not in use. When on the water Sea Kayaking or Paddleboarding, that equipment must take up as less place as possible, must be waterproof and preferably float.  Above all, I want equipment that just works and it must…continue reading →
The Man Outdoors Ex-RNLI D-Class Life Boat

The Man Outdoors Ex-RNLI D-Class Life Boat

The D-CLass was first introduced by the RNLI fleet in 1963. The inflatable style lifeboat continues to evolve to meet changes in demand around the UK shoreline and technology available. Being highly manoeuvrable they operate closer to shore. These boats come into their own for searches and rescues in the surf, shallow water and confined locations. With it's shallow draft they are often used close to cliffs, among rocks and even inside caves around the UK coastline. This boat is D-478, based on active service in Aldergrove, Newcastle from 1995-2005. After it's duties…continue reading →

Fatyak™ Adventure S Mahee Kayak – On The Water Review – Part 2

Fatyak™ Adventure S Mahee Kayak in The Solent. We loaded up the Fatyaks on Sunday and headed to the coast. Destination was Lepe beach in Hampshire, over looking The Solent and Isle of White. The weather was sunny, the water was supprisingly warm but the great british weather had to throw in some wind to the mix. Transportation of kayaks is always an issue. The size and shape of them always makes it a challenge. Below you can see in the photo our transport, to the left a LandRover Defender 110 with a…continue reading →

Fatyak™ Adventure S Mahee Kayak – Dry Land Review – Part 1

The Man Outdoors has recently added a new kayak to our outdoor gear, in the form of the Fatyak Adventure S Mahee.

It has loads of great features and is a really awesome kayak. Here are…continue reading →

The Jurassic Coast – #themanoutdoors

In my view the best way to appreciate the spectacular scenery of the Jurassic Coast is by walking it. The 95 miles from Old Harry Rocks to Exmouth make up part of the South West Coast Path National Trail. There are hundreds of miles of connecting footpaths and bridleways in the area. If like me you want to do a days walking these give a huge variety of possible circular walks, wherever you are on the coast. This allows you to park or camp in one place and loop back all in one…continue reading →
Airstream Aluminium Endcaps – The Build

Airstream Aluminium Endcaps – The Build

Rebuilding our vintage Airstream has been one of the largest challenges I've even taken on. I'm just a normal guy, my background is website design and online marketing, however I love getting my hards dirty and I love the great outdoors. I posted a picture on my Instagram account and received a few inquires on how to complete this, so thought I would do a blog post. I got the basic idea from a mix of places, some Airstream forums, some classic sailing boat forums and classic car forums. Restoring any of these…continue reading →
