Elegear Folding Wagon Review – adaptable outdoors

The versatile Elgear Folding Wagon

I took an incredible road trip this summer from Minnesota to the East Coast of the US and Canada. We spent five weeks on the road, which meant fun things like beach picnics, campfires, and chasing sunsets, as well as less fun things like laundry and grocery store trips.  As we were getting ready to leave Elegear asked to send me their folding wagon to review.  I could not have thought of a more perfect piece of equipment to add to our trip.

Innovative Waterproof Socks

Waterproof Socks

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 read more

Sara Baird checks out the Elegear Double Sleeping Pad for outdoor adventures.

A good night’s sleep will make an incredible camping trip even better.  It can even be the difference between loving your experience and swearing never to do it again.  Last summer my husband and I decided to try tent camping again after primarily using a camper for several years.  We packed up our old equipment and took off for a weekend.  We packed some slim sleeping pads we used when we were much younger.

The Compo Closet Cuddy

Sara Baird investigates a portable alternative in composting toilets with the Compo Closet Cuddy.

This summer I wrote about testing out a composting toilet and the freedom it provided when we went tent camping.  I loved having the same freedom from using an outhouse or waiting in line for the bathrooms we had when camping in a Camper with a bathroom without the hassle of hauling a camper.

The precious composting read more

The Coleman Skylodge 4-Person Tent

Sara Baird checks out a Tent Designed to Make Tent Camping Easier: the Coleman Skylodge 4-person Tent.

 

Earlier this year I wrote about my husband and I deciding to pull out our tent and go tent camping after five years of camping in a camper.  That was a great tent that we had for years.  It was extremely easy to set up and had plenty of space even when our kids were young and camped with us.  We discovered the tent was ready to be retired when it started storming shortly after read more

The Baton 3 Pro 1500 Lumens Rechargeable Flashlight

Sara Baird shares her findings on the Olight designed the Baton 3 Pro 1500 Lumens Rechargeable Flashlight.

Who can’t use a little more light in their life?  A flashlight, lantern, or headlamp can make a break your experience on a camping trip, hike, or adventure.  Here in Minnesota, our daylight hours get very short in the winter.  I find that a flashlight or headlamp becomes necessary to experience any outdoor activity read more

Dr. Doug’s Miracle Balm and Bug Potion

Dr Dougs Bug Potion

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 read more

The Trelino Portable Composting Toilet Provides Freedom

Trelino portable toilet

Sara Baird tries out the Trelino portable option for toileting in the outdoors.

I always need a bathroom break just as we get to the best part of our experience.    It’s just one of the perks of staying well-hydrated, I guess. I love traveling with our camper because we always have a bathroom on the road and I never need to find a bathhouse in the middle of the night.  When Trelino asked us to review the Trelino Evo S. Lightweight Portable Composting Toilet I saw that this could be possible read more
