    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 still been on the hunt for a pocketknife that Caleb, one his tiny hands can use. (His hands ARE growing though, so can't be called tiny, in all honesty.) He has much smaller hands than most blades are suitable for, so finding a knife that...

    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 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...

    Since we began hiking with my brother, having headlamps on hand have been a must! We have used them on every camping trip since those early hikes years ago. This set of headlamps are not intended for my family since we have more headlamps than we nee...

    The boys have a campout every month, so we have had our fair share of packs we have tried out and continue to use. A friend from Cub Scouts recently bridged in to Boy Scouts, joining the same Troop my boys are in. She contacted me asking for recommen...

    My family spends a lot of time outdoors thanks to the active lifestyle we have and all of the Scouting activities we do. A few years back, my brother (who has climbed most of the mountains on the West Coast and is an avid hiker) took us on a local st...
