    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...

    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...
