Every once in a while someone comes along with a simple yet really useful product, where you think…
“Hey! That’s neat… why has no one come up with that before?”
Well the Steady Rig from Rig Innovations is just such a product.
I met these guys out on the bank carp fishing in France a few years back at one of our Angling Lines venues and they proudly showed me their invention… an adjustable base, designed to take any of the most widely used camping stoves and keep them level and safe while in use on a uneven bank.
The lads were kind enough to give me one to try. As I travel around fishing and shooting videos for Angling Lines, I need to camp more than most. In the summer I virtually live in my small camper van.
Well here I have to be honest and say I pushed the Steady Rig away under the bench seat of my camper and pretty much forgot about it for a good few months… sorry guys!
That is until I was out on the bank one day last summer and I didn’t want to fry the steak inside the van and sink it out… but my swim was particularly steep and uneven. No matter how I tried I just couldn’t keep my stove from falling over. I use the blue Campingaz canisters and as good and inexpensive as they are, they are tall and somewhat unstable.
‘Hang on a minute!, I thought to myself… Let’s try that invention the guys gave me and see if it really works!!… continue reading…
