As an avid outdoor adventurer, it was a real pleasure to have Waterhaul recently reach out to The Walking Northerners blog.
For those not in the know – Waterhaul are a Cornwall based enterprise who specialise in scouring the UK’s coastlines for fishing equipment and transform it into recycled products that inspire positive environmental action.
Currently offering a range of sustainable sunglasses and nifty outdoors equipment, Waterhaul founder, Harry, was kind enough to mail over one of their litter pickers for me to put to the test on some of my upcoming ventures.
Moved & inspired by their brand ethos, it’s certainly been nice to introduce their equipment up north and give back to the trails here which have given me so much over the years!
Waterhaul Litter Picker review
Perhaps what I love most about the Waterhaul litter picker collection is that the products are made from recycled material; meaning they aren’t adding to the problem to they’re fighting.
It’s great to think how each product purchased is directly helping the brand expand their recycling efforts by creating more demand for plastic to be removed from our shores.
Sturdy, lightweight and easily portable, I’ve been personally getting to grips with their Folding Litter Picker iteration over the last few weeks which has snugly fit into my backpack during our last few countryside hikes.
Quick & easy to assemble, just slot the two opposing parts together and you’re good to go!
Having only previously picked litter by hand, Waterhaul’s pincer makes the task so much easier than constantly bending down. The efficiency also means you can clean up much faster and at scale – trust me, you’d be surprised how quickly you can fill up a bin bag!
In addition to the litter picker, Waterhaul also kindly mailed over one of their Recycled Litter Picking Bag Hoops to help in our cleaning efforts.
Lightweight yet sturdy, simply clip in a refuse sack and off you pop. The handle makes it super easy to carry the bag hoop with just one hand whilst the other is free to concentrate on pinching up rubbish.
The final verdict
There really is nothing quite like the fulfilling feeling you get after a day out adventuring – even more so after finishing your trip with a bin bag full of rubbish in one hand and a litter picker in the other!
Going forward, the Waterhaul litter picker is absolutely going to have a regular spot in my rucksack when I’m out and about.
Both the litter picker and bag hoop were of terrific quality and pair perfectly together. Hardy, functional and environmentally friendly, you really would be hard pressed to find any better on the market than the Waterhaul range.
Currently offering a 10% discount for all new customers who sign up to their mailing list, be sure to check out the official Waterhaul website if you fancy picking up a litter picker and joining the cause for yourselves.
Even if it’s just for 10 minutes at the start or end of your adventures, every pick helps 💪
Thanks again for the equipment Waterhaul; keep on doing what you’re doing!
