    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 always have to...

    I had a friend from Scouts ask for help in picking a good day pack for her son who wanted a hydration bag to be able to use when hiking. I decided we'd try out this bag because it is larger than the other hydration backpacks I have seen (or the o...

    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...
