Henk Reinicke is an 18 year old wildlife photographer from Germany. Not content with having to head home after a day's shooting, Henk shares some of his amazing photos and talks us through his first night alone in the wilds, using the DD Frontline Hammock - MC; a fantastic choice for staying hidden and letting nature come to you.

Steve Tolan of the Chipembele Wildlife Education Trust, a charity based in Zambia, shares some stories and photos of his memorable adventures. The charity focuses on conservation education for the young people of Zambia - and works with conservationists, palaeontologists and wildlife autorities to create some incredible opportunities and outcomes.
