Andrew first became acquainted with Campers Pantry meals on a road trip from Sydney to Cairns with his girlfriend. With the long hours spent driving and many surfs in between, Andrew often opted for a Campers Pantry meal at the end of the day, rather than cooking up something from scratch. The Beef & Blackbean is a personal favourite of his, as the high quality meat used makes it taste like a proper meal.

Some 80 years ago, a young bushwalker's dissatisfaction with the limited and heavy bushwalking equipment available prompted him to design and make his own. Before long, word spread, and Paddy Pallin's lightweight, functional designs were soon in demand among fellow bushwalkers. From its early days the company has concentrated on supplying bushwalkers, travellers and adventurers with the highest quality and most advanced products and knowledge. Since 1930 the company has grown to become Australia's leading supplier of specialist outdoor and travel gear. The company, still owned by the Pallin family, now has thirteen stores throughout Australia as well as online, mail order and corporate sales divisions. We are using our vast wealth of knowledge, and experience, to build an online community where we can share our stories, reviews and tech tips to help you research and plan your next adventure.
