Silver Cryptid Twilight Ravens

Samantha Kent reviews Silver Cryptid at her outdoor wedding.

Can’t have a rainbow without a little rain!

After a good year of wedding-induced writer’s block, I’m happy to say this request for a review revived something within me that has been sedated for some time.  I was gladly approached to review a set of earrings made by the “Silver Cryptid” Company!

Ötzi Ember Dual Person Grill Review

Otzi Ember Dual Person Grill 1

By Pauline Alba.

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.

Wakiwaki Filtered Water Bottle Review

The Wakiwaki Filtered Water Bottle 20 oz bottle comes with a carabiner for easy carrying.

By Sara Baird.

I took my first wilderness trip when I was 12.  It was a weeklong trip into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Northern Minnesota with an environmental school.  I will always be grateful that I had the opportunity to take this trip as it changes the way I see the world.  I have memories of great friendships, sleeping under the stars during a meteor shower, and a sense of awe the entire week. The only thing I remember not enjoying on the trip was the taste of iodine in our water.

The Quality Hammock Rain Fly 12’ Hexagonal Tarp

The rain fly comes with stakes and guyline to set it up as well as bags to keep it organized.

Onewind’s Rain Fly is tested out by Sara Baird.

Last year I had the opportunity to review three great Onewind products.  The 11ft hammock with mosquito netting, the hammock underquilt and blanket, and the hammock top quilt.  I was impressed with the function and design of all of these products so said yes when asked to review another product.  They were all designed in ways that made them extremely easy to use and I use them frequently.

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.

By Ashley Nielson.

Remember your first-time camping experience? Going camping for the first time is exciting but can also be scary, especially if you have no idea what you’re doing. Being alone (even with friends and family) in the wilderness with nothing to protect you but a tent means you must prepare beforehand.
