Don’t let the winter keep you indoors this year. Rather strap on a pair of hiking boots and go and face the elements outdoors. You’ll get some good exercise and you’ll feel great after spending some time in nature away from the daily grind. When going hiking, make sure you go prepared. If you’re hiking on a cold winters day and rain is expected, it’s essential that you layer up ending with a good waterproof jacket that is both water and wind proof, and breathable. Wear thick hiking socks and finally, strap on a good pair of hiking boots, like this pair of Hi-Tec ladies’ hiking boots. If this sounds like fun and all you need is a pair of boots, this is your chance to get a new pair, free.

Jacuzzis are great fun. They’re perfect for unwinding in after a long day’s work or to relax in with a glass of your favourite bubbly during the weekends. They’re also awesome to jump into on a cold winters day. They are unfortunately expensive to install and keep up, and then there’s the question of where to put it. Not so with the 4 seater Camaro B-130 portable bubble spa. This self-inflating spa sets up in 10 minutes, inside and out, and can heat the water to a soothing 42 degrees! Once you’re done, simply pack away until next time. To stand a chance of winning one of these go and enter now.

The thing with us humans is that we like to carry our stuff around but unfortunately for us, we never evolved any pockets. Strangely we don’t find it real fashionable to wear clothing with big pockets, attaching things to our belts or strapping moon bags around our waists, even though some will argue those to be obvious solutions. But none of that matters if you’re hoping to carry around big stuff, like your laptop, or a jacket. For that you need a nice day pack which luckily for us has not received any attention by those who dream up the rules of fashion. So while you still can, go and enter for your chance to this EnRoute Escort day pack worth R1 499.

With the Skil Masters 4960 reciprocating saw, including a canvas carry bag, hexagon key and saw blade, you’ll get through your trimming chores quicker than Edward Scissorhands could dream of. So go on, enter for your chance to win and soon you could be on your way to reclaim your piece of land.

With a price tag of over R1 000 000, escaping earth’s gravity and going to space is something most of us will unfortunately never get to do in our lifetimes. For one very lucky person however, that’s about to change. In one of the biggest competitions we’ve ever posted on WinStuff, Axe is bringing you the chance to win a trip to space. Yes  you heard right, some incredibly lucky astronaut to-be will win a flight into space! As you can imagine, you’re not simply going to fill in a form to stand a chance of winning this amazing prize, it’s going top take some work for your chance to win. So while this is a free competition, the entry process is lengthy. For a chance to go to space however, who cares! Right?

The use of GPS tracking and measurement has become widely popular among a range of sporting activities and is now part of almost every runner, hiker or cyclist’s kit bag. Many now use their smartphones for this exact purpose, but they have their limitations. Carrying a bulky and a power-hungry device while working out, or going on an extended cycle or hike is not ideal, and while you’re most probably already wearing a watch, it makes sense to incorporate the technologies all into one device. This is exactly Suunto has done with the Ambit GPS Watch. It combines a GPS navigation system, altimeter, and 3D compass with advanced heart-rate monitoring, all in one device.

Now that the holidays have come and gone many of us feel the need for some serious excercise to shake off those extra kilos which snuck up on us. Not everyone enjoys sweating it out in the gym however and would rather get their excercise while doing something more fun or adventurous, like going for a hike in the mountains. If you’re the type that would ditch your trainers for a pair of heavy-duty hiking boots, we’ve got just the competition for you. Stand a chance of winning a men’s or women’s pair of V-Lite Altitude Ultra Luxe WPi boots, worth R1 499. Good luck and happy exploring!
