Silicone Water Guard by Sno-Seal is one of the best spray-on waterproofing products. I have used it on tents, clothing, and boots.I’m not a fan of spray-on silicone waterproofing, but sometimes it’s the only thing that will do the trick.  For example, if you need to waterproof a nylon tent, it’s really the only sensible option.  If you still have an old canvas tent t...

I took a chance on buying this inexpensive camp light, and it’s the best one I ever owned, probably due to the krypton bulb.This lamp is strictly for base camping.  It is much to heavy and bulky for backpacking.  But I found it to be stable, and bright enough to actually be able to read.I have had two other battery-operated camp lights, and although they could give enough light ...

Do you remember seeing to TV ads for the leak ender 2000?  This is what the commercial would say.  "This home repair product is a Teflon®-based spray that seals leaks and cracks in metal, wood, cement, brick, plastic, fiberglass and more instantly! Leak Ender 2000 is perfect for use indoors or outside. It quickly repairs leaking pipes, gutters, roofs, ducts, walls, etc. so yo...

When searching for camping supplies, I was looking for the best deal.  We already had a cheap tent, but looking around for something to give us some light.  So we were left with the option of A) a regular lantern, B) a battery operated lantern, and C) a rechargable.  So after weighing the options,  I had to go with C.  I didn't want to pay for batteries or consumabl...

Although this air bed is considered camping equipment that is not what I intend to use it for... I have a huge house, with lots of unfurnished bedrooms. We have had family in and out all week for Thanksgiving. I knew I had to do something about my lack of beds before our guests began arriving so I headed to Wal-Mart and purchased two queen size raised air beds, for about forty dollars each...

When I learned that we were going to be camping for two weeks I wasn't going to spend those fourteen nights sleeping on the ground. I ordered some camping cots after going to a local outdoor equipment store, and being unsatisfied with the service, I decided to go with the old faithful LLbean Online!A great shopping experience, as always -  quick shipping, great customer service, and am...

Black & Decker 1 Million Candle Power Rechargeable Spotlight : This flashlight is really nice and bright. I like that. I also like that its rechargeable so I dont constantly have to buy batteries. It charges very quickly. Looks nice and has a good handle on it that makes it easy to reach the trigger. Some spotlights have handles that are too big around. Has a button that locks it in to...

This Fulton flashlight is the standard US military issue flashlight.It is made in the USA and it is TOUGH!While the body is made of plastic… it is heavy. It seems that it would take a great deal to hurt this thing…The flashlight has an angled head and belt clip, so it can be attached to your clothing or gear and turned on for hands free lighting. There is also a metal ring at the ...

This is an air mattress,with a collapsible frame. It is queen size measuring 78" long x 58" wide, and 28" tall. You need an airpump that doesn't come with the mattress. A heavy duty PVC airbed and steel  frame can last quite along time.  It inflates in just minutes.The expandable frame compacts into a wheeled storage case for storage or movement from place to place....

Having light in an emergency or while camping is very important. While shopping at Lowe's, I recently saw the Task Force flashlight and picked up a couple. I've placed them in certain locations in my home in case of a power outage or for when I need to visit the attic. It requires 3 AAA batteries that come in the package. The light produced by the 9 high intensity LED bulbs is sufficien...

I bought this Camper's Axe as a gift on the recommendation of the salesperson and several burly guys standing around at Cabela's.It is a high quality axe that can be used for a range of activities.  It can be used for chopping down trees, splitting firewood, and driving stakes or nails.  It is nicely balanced and at a weight of about 3.5 pounds, it is easy to carry around. Thi...

I recently purchased a Coleman Twin Size Quickbed.  It turns out this airbed does not come with its own pump so I had to buy one.When looking at the different types of pumps the store had three kinds.  One was a manual pump like the type we used to use to inflate a bicycle tire.  It look like it would take quite a while to inflate the bed with this so I looked at the electric pum...

I recently purchased an airbed. The one I bought is the type used primarily for camping. It is a Coleman Twin Size Quickbed with carry bag.  This bed does not come with a pump so you have to buy that separately.  The pumps for these types of beds come in three types manual, battery powered or one that runs on electricity.Features: The Coleman Twin Size Quickbed measures 74" x 39&...

I love my two Nalgene bottles so much that I decided to buy my mother this "Life Is Good" Nalgene water bottle.  She loves the "Life Is Good" clothing and various products, so this gift was perfect for her.This water bottle, like the original Nalgene water bottles, holds 32 ounces of water and has the measure graduations on the side of the bottle.  It is made out o...

 I was diagnosed years ago with Fibromyalgia, and as some of you who might know about this, it's hard to get a good nights rest. Especially when you are flairing and your body is experiencing a lot of pain. Well one thing that has helped me is using a inflatable air bed over a normal mattress. I got this Ozark Trail velour top queen size designed for outdoor camping and place it on my ...

This 28 Quart Ice Basket Chest Cooler is a great general purpose ice chest for a single person, couple, or very small family.  I use it every time I go shopping at Costco or Trader Joe's so that I don't need to worry about things defrosting if I stop someplace else on the way home.  I just throw a couple of cooler packs in, and it is good to go.There are three main selling poi...

The 50 Rubbermaid Wheeled Cooler is a great addition to anyone who likes to go picnicking or camping.  It's also nice to have when you have company over and need a place to put all the soft drinks and bottled water.  When we took it camping, one of the features I liked was the split lid.  You could open one side of the cooler at a time so the cold air wouldn't have as muc...

We have had our three room tent for about three years now. We bought our tent from Sam's Club. It is a very durable tent. It has withstood our many camping trips that we have taken the tent on. It comes in a nice rolling bag that it fits in nicely. It is very easy to roll to the spot that you need and set it up. Usually its not my job to set up the tent when we go camping. The times th...

We recently switched from a filter (see Sweetwater Guardian) to the UV light Steripen for water purification while hiking.  It is really easy to use, but takes another level of trust to feel confident about it.The Steripen is a small, handheld device to purify water in the field for backpacking, or even more serious expeditions. It uses the reliable technology of sending ultra-violet light...

We purchased the 1999 Starcraft Constellation Pop-Up Camper from a local seller two years ago.  We previously had an older and smaller pop-up camper.  We decided that since our family had grown we needed a larger pop-up.  Starcraft is an excellant name in recreational vehicles.  Their products are very durable.  This particular model has one king bed on one end and a do...
