Waterproof socks. Pauline Alba tackles the big question, do you need waterproof socks?
If you are like me, this statement can make your brain go in many directions. At first, you think, how wonderful to never have to wear wet socks. Having large dogs who spill more water on the floor than they drink, waterproof socks would be wonderful, but I could also just wear shoes. Then you start to wonder when would you need them. When I agreed to review them, this was my biggest dilemma, when
Pauline Alba checks out the S2 Expedition RV Cover and shares her findings.
Embarking on my journey into the realm of fabric camper covers marked a new chapter in my camping escapades. I was asked to complete a review from National RV Covers and after a decade of roughing it out in the great outdoors, I decided it was time to give my trusty travel trailer the protection it deserved. Enter the S2 Expedition RV Cover, a sleek and promising addition to my camping arsenal.

Review by Pauline Alba.
It all began with one fly, then another joined the party, and before we knew it, we had a full-blown insect invasion during our camping trip. I had invited some friends to enjoy the great outdoors in the warm, dry weather, but the flies seemed to think it was an all-you-can-bug buffet. It was sweltering, and we didn’t want to bundle up in extra layers, but those little feet tap-dancing all over us were driving us nuts.
That’s when I remembered I had brought
Pauline Alba tries out and reports on the Kamui Sleeping Pad.
Sleeping anywhere other than your bed you struggle to get a good night’s rest. It can even be more difficult when camping when you need to transport and provide your own sleeping mats. Finding a product that works for you, transports well, and is easy to use can make the process easier. This review will focus on the self-inflating sleeping pads from Kamui.
This company was formed by Yumi Ohkura an outdoor enthusiast

As I share my next product review, I must give a disclaimer about myself. I am the kind of person that would eat food cold if it meant a lot of work to warm it up or I would plan my meals around not having to cook anything. Having a simple way to expand your meal options when camping and traveling is a great thing, especially if another person is with you. That is why I decided to try out the Ötzi Ember Dual Person Grill.
When deciding what to name their company,
Pauline Alba reviews the Spice Cargo Kit.
What would you consider to be your spice of life? I would have to say being on an adventure is what gives my life the variety that I crave. I am always looking for the next spot to camp, hike, picnic, or visit. Another way I add spice to my life is genuinely through spices.
If you are like me a whole cabinet is full of different flavors to add to our meals. So it is natural I would be bringing them with me. Right before I was given the opportunity

Christmas in July is how I felt when I received my newest item to review. When the temperature is in the high 80s and the air conditioning was running non-stop, I received the Women’s Heated Vest 7.4V from Venustas.
Christmas for me is snow, wind, and freezing temperatures, and when that vest came, I was ready to skip the rest of summer and go straight to winter. I sat in my air conditioning feeling the heat on my neck, shoulders, and abdomen. Now that Minnesota has finally

We all have our ways and habits and when we are encouraged to try something new, we may not always be all in when we try it. I had to admit I had some of this resistance when I was sent the Wautton Best Hiking Fanny pack. I had just purchased a lighter backpack for our day hiking trips. Even though I really liked my backpack, I was carrying a big pack of very little stuff.
Since we hike with dogs, we are carrying extra water, snacks, bug
Pauline Alba puts the Sansbug Pop Up Tent to the test
I had the joy of growing up with a camping family. So many memories of sleeping in the tent and spending all day outside. This was something that my husband and I made sure that our kids enjoyed as well.
One thing I don’t remember when I was younger was the bugs. As my kids grew, so did the size of the lumps from mosquito bites. Every night as we sit by the campfire, the mosquitoes start to change the ratio of humans to flying minibeasts.

Everything in moderation. Unless it is coffee, then I tend to get excessive. My favorite part of the camping trip is waking before everybody else, making my coffee, maybe a fire, and watching everything wake up. Since I am an earlier riser everybody else gets reheated coffee. We have tried some other products, but nothing is like camp coffee in a percolator, until I received Wildland Coffee.
Wildland Coffee is coffee on the go. The coffee comes in cute little packets and inside
