    If you don't have a pocket blanket in your car or bag, you need one. Perfect for everything - sitting on the ground, wet bleachers at games, dirty picnic tables, use for a poncho, wrap around you for warmth... multiple uses, yet small! I have mul...

    I am always collecting carabiners and things like this for my boys for camping and Scouting activities. I saw these and picked them up for the boys to add to our massive collection. They are perfect for tossing in your pack so that you have them to h...

    A friend in my boys' Boy Scouts Troop asked me to keep my eyes open for a good pack cover for her son. I had one that I was able to give her, but it was much smaller and only fit over his daypack, not his main gear pack. So I said I would see wha...

    With all of the campouts the boys do  you never know what they will get in to. I only have one backpack rain cover currently so picked up this one so that both boys would have one to stuff in their packs for those "just in case" incide...

    I got both of the boys multitools for Christmas. But my oldest wasn't all that impressed with the one he got. It is much smaller and does fit nicely in a pocket or attach with a carabiner, but it is not the strongest or sturdiest when you need so...

    I have been trying to find a pocketknife for my younger son for the past year. He needs a good knife that he can use in Scouts, but his hands are not the biggest, so finding one that is suitable for his needs is nearly impossible. I decided to get a...

    My boys do a lot of camping and outdoor activities, thanks to Scouts. I cannot begin to tell you how many water bottles I go through in a year. They get lost, they get destroyed, they begin to get funky tastes or smells from impromper cleaning or who...

    This is a great set of four flashlights for the boys to use in their daypacks for Scouting! Bright, compact, they use only 1 battery, and arelightweight. Plus,  they are low cost in case they get lost or stolen so I can easily replace them. You...
