    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...

          I recently picked up a new hiking backpack for my son. He is excited about getting to use it this weekend at his campout, but pointed out to me it did not come with a rain cover. I reminded him that rainy season in...

      My boys do a lot of camping and outdoor activities, thanks to Scouts. Because of that, we need to have some good pocket knives on hand. It is amazing how fast a child can dull a knife and how no matter how many sharpenings you do, you alway...
