Sizing Tip

Backpacks are sized according to the length of your torso, not your overall height. To measure your torso, start at the 7th vertebrae (the bone that protrudes from the base of the neck) and measure to the top of your hip shelf (found at the small of the back where you'll find the pointy iliac crest of your hips).

Awesome tent for the money

My wife and I (plus Dalmation!) have now been camping in this tent three times in the Hill Country outside Austin in Texas. Twice we have experienced serious thunderstorms (and if you have been to Texas, you'll know that I am not exaggerating when I say they were bad) and have stayed dry both times. Also has excellent ventilation for the hot and humid weather here. Thoroughly recommend this tent for the money.

Mag Instrument Heavy-Duty 3 D-Cell Flashlight

Mag Instrument Heavy-Duty 3 D-Cell Flashlight

Mag Instrument Heavy-Duty 3 D-Cell Flashlight

From MagLite Flashlight

This purple flashlight comes with a high intensity krypton gas lamp for optimum brilliance and extended range. Plus, with a twist of the flashlight head, you can change the beam from spot to flood, positioning the light where you need it most. It's anodized inside and out for improved corrosion resistance and durability, with a self-cleaning switch that virtually eliminates oxidation. The high grade O-rings at each opening ensure resistance to water and shock while the low resistance circuitry allows a more efficient use of the batteries. The diamond-knurled grip is comfortable to hold, and there's a spare bulb in the tail cap to keep you out of the shadows. Manufactured in the United States, this flashlight is serially numbered for identification purposes. It requires 3 D-cell batteries, not included. Bright light. Bright purchase.


Features


  • High intensity adjustable light beam

  • Sealed O-rings for water and shock resistance

  • Precision-machined, high strength aluminum alloy case

  • Spare lamp in the tail cap

  • Limited lifetime warranty

Unless you've been hiding for the past few decades, you're sure to recognize this classic from Mag Instrument. The solid dependability of Mag flashlights is hard to top, which explains why the brand is so popular with police officers, security guards, and other people who can't afford to be left in the dark. This three-D-cell model is great for home use and an essential part of any home emergency kit. It shines as bright as anyone could ask for, and a simple twist of the head changes the beam from a spot to a luminous floodlight. Having a Mag flashlight on hand can keep an inconvenience, like a November blackout, from becoming a small disaster. It is also a great light for illuminating the woods and keeping the bears at bay on summer camping trips. The weighty feel of a Mag flashlight also offers a sense of security in the dark that other flashlights just don't have, enough to give you the confidence to confront any basement bogeyman or mountain monster. --Brian Trinen


Customer Reviews


I LOVE PURPLE!!

I am very pleased with my purchase of the PURPLE MAG-LITE. It was a great price at around $16, comes with an extra bulb, has an adjustable beam, and seems to be well constructed. I live on a canyon and was amazed at how far the beam of light travels!! AND IT'S PURPLE!!!


Best Flashlights

Mag Lites are the best flashlights. It's dependable and bright. Comes in all sizes and they are great for the price.


Mine was so good, someone swiped it!

I don't know if the plumber swiped it or my exiting roommate. All I know is they all turned up missing at the same time! Can't do without it. No substitute for the real thing.

Kelty Redwing Backpack

Kelty Redwing Backpack

Kelty Redwing Backpack

From Kelty Backpacks

Follow your whim to skip the commute and hit the trail. This versatile, internal, day-and -a-half pack works well for either.


Features:


  • Kelty Redwing internal frame backpack with multiple organization pockets and with zippered front-panel access to the main compartment

  • Appropriate for day use in urban and back country settings

  • Designed for stability with side compression straps, a removable webbing waistbelt, adjustable, padded shoulder straps, and a sternum strap

  • Supported with a LightBeam aluminum stay that is 30-40 percent stiffer, and half the weight of most standard aluminum stays

  • Lifetime warranty

The Redwing is Kelty's most popular daypack for back-country and urban adventures alike. This versatile, internal frame, day-and-a-half pack, has an outstanding reputation for its superior organization, durability, and lightweight construction.

Whether you're cruising city sidewalks, ski touring, snowshoeing, climbing, or hiking, the breathable, padded back panel and shoulder straps keep you cool and comfortable. Stow your gear on the go with ease, using the zippered front compartment. Unlike most packs of its size class, the Redwing does not have a tunnel design, so you don't have to unpack every time you want to find something.

Built to keep heavy loads stable and designed to remain bulk free, the pack boasts side compression straps, a removable Airmesh waistbelt, adjustable and padded shoulder straps, and a sternum strap. The breathable Airmesh waistbelt has stabilizers and a Scherer Cinch, but can be removed and stowed when carrying lighter loads. The pulley-like Scherer Cinch doubles your tightening force, allowing you secure the waist strap without straining. Heavy loads are supported with a single LightBeam aluminum stay that is 30-40 percent stiffer, and half the weight of most standard aluminum stays.

A front zippered pocket keeps small items secure while an organizer and side pockets allow for easy access to small essentials while a fleece-lined optics pocket will keep your glasses from getting scratched. This hydration-compatible pack has two expandable mesh water bottle pockets and an interior hydration pocket and tube port for use with most hydration systems. The pack is constructed of durable, abrasion-resistant nylon micro ripstop and reinforced with nylon Kodra. Strap extra gear to the outside, with the ice axe loops and daisy chain lash tabs. In terms of gear access and layout, suspension, and overall toughness, the Kelty Redwing is a great choice for any spontaneous adventure.

Customer Reviews


This Bag is great!

This bag is great! I have used it for business travel and outdoor use. This bag can easily carry enough clothes for a 5-6 day trip. It easily fits in most airlines overhead compartments and if not stuffed to capacity will fit under the seats as well. The compression straps make even a small load feel secure. This bag is also great for a "light" camping trip. Shoulder straps and waistbelt are comfortable and adjustable. Has set up for a hydration system, but does not come with it.

Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned Square Grill Pan

Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned Square Grill Pan

Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned Square Grill Pan

From Lodge Cookware

The one thing that probably discourages more people from purchasing and using cast iron is maintenance. Like carbon steel woks, cast iron cooking pieces require "seasoning." To many this is a mysterious or overly time-consuming process. Even if you treasure fond memories of eggs and pancakes cooked in grandmother's ancient, blackened skillet, you might have no idea how to turn your new pan into such a treasure. Fortunately Lodge has come out with the new Logic line, which has been evenly coated on all surfaces with an electrostatic spray of vegetable oil. Next the cookware is put into an extremely high temperature industrial oven which bakes the coating into the surface. Not only will you be spared the time and effort of seasoning, but also the new piece you buy will look and perform better than if you had seasoned it at home. Just like that heirloom pan you will find that even pineapple upside down cake doesn't stick to this surface. The ribbed bottom of this pan allows grease to puddle away from what you're cooking, all the while making those desirable stripes across fish, beast, or fowl.


Features


  • Square cast-iron grill pan with ribbed bottom for low-fat cooking

  • Pre seasoned and ready to use; electrostatic spray of vegetable oil evenly baked into surface

  • Sturdy handle with hole for convenient hanging when not in use

  • Hand wash only; oven safe to 500 degrees F

  • Measures 10-1/2 by 10-1/2 by 1-3/4 inches; lifetime warranty

Customer Reviews


The only one to buy

Works beautifully and gets better with every use.


All the other brands are Chinese junk. Some of them even cost more so why buy them?


If you don't have a real grill (or if the weather is bad) these are the next best thing.


Great pan!

This is my second Lodge cast iron pan and I'm very happy with it. It grills both vegetables and meats well. Cleans easily. Pre-seasoning is a great feature.

Customer Reviews


Good Idea, but not well executed

We really wanted to love this tent, but the screen porch is not designed well. It has no floor and and no REAL wall. The screen that divides the main tent from the porch does zip all the way around, but the nylon "wall" is open on the bottom side and flaps in the wind. I would not buy this tent again.


Awesome tent!

We took this out to Caddo Lake State Park in TX. We absolutely love this tent.

PROS:

-There wasn't a single bug that came through the netting.

-It's waterproof.

-The Main entrance door is very convenient to open so easily.

-The built in lighting is a good plus to have, no worries of gas lanterns and fumbling for flashlights.

-I like the fact that the roof is separate from the tent itself, great ventilation for warm-hot weather. Not sure if this would be a good tent for very cold weather.

- Very Sturdy tent.

- Fits a full size inflatable bed with MUCH room to spare.

-VERY high ceiling, no more stooping over inside!

- We received compliments on this tent!

- Nice privacy divider, and is added protection against bugs and rain so you can have screened area open.

CONS:

- One of my tent poles has an issue with a locking mechanism, not a big deal.

- Two people is a must in assembling this tent, or you will have a very hard time.

- The sleeping accommodations are misleading. The second (Screened Part) has no floor covering, so you would get ate up with bugs, and wet when it rains.

- The roof lining is a snug fit, but awkward to get on tightly.

Recommendations:

- Get a tarp that will fully cover the bottom of this tent, so you can sleep more people inside the screened part of tent. Plus, your floor lining will last much longer.

- Repair kit is always a must so your trip won't be ruined if something happens.

- You will need 8 "D" batteries for the lighting system.


We love it!

We just got back from camping for a week and of course it rained {down poured} one day and this tent held up great! Very roomy and love the screen room/porch!

Another Igloo MaxCold roller winner with useable capacity

Coolers are funny. Either you need a really large one or a smaller one; Nothing in between. Too small and after adding ice, there is not much space left for food & drinks. That is what makes the Igloo Coolfus 40 so good. It is the perfect size and shape to load up with plenty of ice and still have loads of space for brewsky's and sandwiches. This Igloo also has the superior 24 hour urethane super insulation maxcold with a soft enclosure that has storage pockets. It even has an elastic strap for securing beach blankets to the top for efficient loaded travel on its wheels. The extendable handle is rugged and works smoothly. There are folding handles on each side.

Why do I call this the perfect size? Because with all its capacity (40 quarts in a cube format), it comfortably sits on the passenger seat in my compact car seat. A rectangular one would not fit. The Coolfus 40 even fits through the open window without having to open the door. The cube shape yields the most internal volume for a given outer dimension. I did not purchase this unit at Amazon but at Target for $69. It was the most expensive cooler they had but the benefits were too great to let the steep price prevent my purchase. It really is a handsome winner. I saw it in all black and all red, but not the blue.

It works as it is supposed to.

Bought this a few years ago to use in my finished basement. Installation was simple,and a wall outlet is needed to keep the battery charged. Recently the power went out and sure enough the unit worked as designed. Since we have no windows in our basement this was a life saver. I would buy it again

Customer Reviews


Great, versatile cooker.

Got this a couple weeks ago and have used it a few times. Like the deep pan, and the fact that the lid doubles as a shallow skillet. Well made.

Couple little complaints.

1. Lid is awkward to use as a lid. Just doesn't "feel right". An actual lid would be more useful, as opposed to an inverted frypan. Works well, covers the bottom pot and fits nicely, just personally would like a lid with a center handle better. No deduction as this is just personal preference.

2. "Pre-seasoning" was a little weak. Got the 12" frypan at the same time and they'd done a much better job on it. Given that it's sort of a gimmick, I scrubbed and sanded both to remove "pebbly" finish from the cooking surface and reseasoned. The 12" pan came out perfectly, while this one is still pebbly (actually the texture of the iron) and for some reason doesn't seem to want to season correctly. The 12" pan came out black and glossy, while this one came out brown and sticky. They were both done at the exact time, both in the oven together for the same amount of time. I'll give it another try and post an update.

Despite these 2 complaints, this is a great pan and I'm sure I'll enjoy it for years to come.


I just bought mine 2 weeks ago

It looks discolored and as if its painted and the paint it coming off when I clean it or cook. If I wanted some China junk I would have bought some!

I normally love this company and LOVE cast iron cooking. I just cant believe how much America has changed and how sad it is, we are stuck with this made out side of good old USA because its cheaper else where. Yet I paid about the same maybe 10 dollars more for my old set and it lasted yrs tell it fell and broke.


Combo Cooker

Excelent Product, frying pan, dutch oven, chicken fryer.

This thing does it all.

I will probably be passing this thing on to my grand children when I have any.

USEFUL KIT...

This is a nice little kit to have handy when you're planning a camping trip. The only thing I would change about it would be that the bag was a little less flimsy, and also larger to be able to hold extra stakes.


Great product!

I especially love the stake puller. Very easy to use and alot less risk of busting stakes when you pull them out.

The little wisk broom came in very handy for the tent. The mallet was also very useful for getting the stakes in easily. Happy with purchase.

Bright LED Light

This LED Mag Light is very bright and it great for my night time trips to the barn. It is just the right size to fit in my hand, without being heavy like the larger versions. I do wish that it had a loop on it to hang it by, then it would be perfect. It does come with a pouch to hang on your belt if you wear them.


Excellent

The Best LED flashlight I've owned. Works great. Plenty bright. Feels solid. Runs on normal, cheap batteries.

Customer Reviews


We love it!

We bought this two weeks ago from Amazon and could not be happier with it. I purchased this after much research and seeing used Pathfinders going on ebay for about the same price (We paid $120 total for the carrier and shipping). Our son loves being up high and able to see. We went to the St.Louis Zoo last weekend and received a lot of compliments from other zoo visitors. This fits both my husband and I (I am 5'6", He is 5'10") and we found the adjustments to be easy, after reading the instructions. Be prepared to make the adjustments and follow Kelty's suggestion to mark the location of the adjustments if sharing between two or more adults. It also helped that we tried other carriers at local biking/camping shops and learned about the adjustments from the staff.

The carrier is extremely well constructed (aluminum frame, super strong fabric, well sewn, even the velcro is a higher grade than you see on most products) . The sunshade is great for sunny days and has kept our 8 month old from pulling our hair and hats. We bought this for hiking, festivals and other events that require a lot of walking. We tried the new Kelty FC line at a local store. I could not find any difference in the construction, just the storage. We liked the Kelty Pathfinder better, mostly for aesthetic reasons, but I also find it more comfortable and I am not certain why there would be any difference between the two Kelty lines. The zip off back pack is also very handy for diapers/wipes/diaper cream/sunscreen. There are two water bottle holders on the zip-off pack and the 2 pockets on the belt are great for keys/phone. I highly recommend this product.


Kelty Carrier

I purchased for a shower gift. I have another Kelty pack, personally and loved it.


The best I've tried!

The best part about this pack is how adjustable it is. I am 5'1" and was unable to properly fit any other pack that I tried. The Pathfinder is very easy to adjust for my height and there is no stress on my shoulders when my 9 month old son is in it. It is easy to put on and take off by myself (just read the instruction manual and you don't even need an elevated surface to do this). I have had my son in it for up to 1.5 hours while we go for walks, go shopping, or do yard work and he loves it. He sits up high in the pack and is able to see everything going on around him. The toy loops are great for attaching toys or pacifiers (to prevent him from throwing them to the ground). I have not had to use the rain hood yet but I am very happy to have it. The day pack attachment is also great as you really can't carry any other pack or bag when using the carrier. I would definitely recommend the Pathfinder to anyone looking for a child carrier. I can't wait to get out hiking with it in the spring and summer.

Cool cooler. Not so cool price

Real nice cooler. Except I paid 7.69 plus 5.51 shipping. This morning I saw the same cooler right down to the color and holes in the handle for 5.00 at Big Lots. That's what I get for jumping on to something at Amazon without checking around. Amazon isn't always a good deal. Especially when you buy from third parties.
