    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 the camping the kids do, I am always looking at lights and convenient ways to carry them. I have seen a variety of hat lights in the past, but not one as wide as this one. This one slides right over the brim of your hat and then switches on...

    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 recently picked up some above the knee compression socks for my brother, at his request since he does so much running and hiking and he wanted some that would not only keep his legs warm, but also help with additional support and compression (which...

    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...

    I love using compression socks and how they feel. When my legs, ankles, or feet swell, compression socks help big time. Since my brother does so much running and hiking, he wanted a pair that would not only keep his legs warm, but also help with addi...

    I am still on the hunt for a pocketknife that my son can use. He has smaller hands, so finding a knife that he can use on his Boy Scout trips doesn't seem to be the easiest thing. I thought this might work, but then when I opened it up I figured...
