Your Laptop’s Best Friend!

March 8, 2010

    Hey, what’s going on here? I thought this was a site showing and recommending quality recreational and camping equipment!

Yes - but a lot of today’s campers and recreationalists have become avid bloggers and photographers, so stuff sacks have become very hi-tech! There is so much you can do with your laptop computer during those seemingly endless rainy days huddled under the tarp or those hot summer afternoons lazing by the lake. You can write and archive long email dairies to your friends and family, describing the hike you’ve just been on, downloading the pictures from your camera to free up space on your memory card, or write an eyewitness account of the Sasquatch sighting you just experienced! Maybe even use the Wi Fi service at that fishing lodge you are finally able to visit. Introducing – ta da – your laptop’s best friend! This is probably the world’s best and toughest laptop case - a case that can both bounce around in the back of a dusty pickup or fit snugly in your SUV’s pristine roof box. This Pelican 1490 Laptop Computer Case is ideal for camping, since it’s padded, dustproof and watertight. Furthermore, it’s got ergonomically curved padded shoulder straps, allowing you to just sling it over your shoulder. The fact that this case is crush proof makes your precious laptop perfectly protected from a potentially fatal blow from your heavy cooler or heavy packs in the belly of a West Coast floatplane on the way back from that fishing trip.

The Pelican 1490 Laptop Computer Case is lightweight, with easy open Double Throw latches and has stainless steel hardware and padlock protectors, which will defy the attacks of salt water. The handle is comfortably over-padded and the case also has an automatic pressure equalization valve. It can accommodate a 15” screen laptop. It can also handle temperatures between 210 F and -10F (which is more than I can say for me). All in all, in this day and age, when people feel lost without their laptop, I think the Pelican 1490 Laptop Case may just become a favorite piece of camping equipment. Check it out.

 

Need A New Camping Stove To Include In Your Outdoor Equipment Gear?

January 26, 2010
                                I remember, back in November, talking about all the “soft deep fluffy snow blanketing our mountain trails”. Well, here it is, the 26th of January, and the local mountains are almost bare. I just got back from walking the dog and realized that the grass is very green, there are fat buds on the bushes and tulips are shooting up all over the place… AND… there is next to no snow on the mountains! This isn’t actually very good since we’re hosting the Win...

Looking For A Spacious Tall Tent? Here It Is!

January 12, 2010

      Before we know it, spring will be here again. I am already feeling the urge to go camping welling up in me. It’s time to start bringing out my old hiking camping gear. But...yikes…my tent has a rip in it! It also stinks after a winter in a damp storage locker. I guess it’s time to look for a new tent! This time, however I’ve made a wish list. It has to be easy to erect and be a tall tent with tons of space. Tall and spacious enough to comfortably stand and walk around in. Happil...

Add This To Your Outdoor Equipment Gear – Your Life Could Depend On It!

December 16, 2009
         In light of all the disasters that occur in the back country every year, one has to wonder why people don’t take precautions by adding a beacon to their outdoor equipment gear. Don’t let your outdoors fun end in tragedy! This simple device, for instance, is a great help in locating those unfortunate trekkers who have been buried by large avalanches or who are incapacitated in other ways, like finding themselves in personal danger in whiteouts or other horrendous weather condition...

Check Out These Karhu XCD Guide Backcountry Mountaineering Skis

November 8, 2009
 With summer leaving us in such haste, all we can do now is plan ahead for a long season of snow and winter fun. Have you ever thought of upgrading your skills from cross-country skiing to the little more challenging sport of mountaineering skiing? It’s so much easier now than it used to be. The typical mountaineering ski was, up until quite recently, a big fat ski that weighed substantially more than your regular cross country ski. Not only that, you used to have to carry special skins tha...

Exploring The Many Choices Of Children’s Sleeping Bags

September 24, 2009
      

When deciding on which of the many diverse types of children’s sleeping bags to choose, I think the first question is what type of child is it for? For instance, if your child doesn’t like to be bundled up, a mummy type sleeping bag might not be the way to go. On the other hand, if your child squirms around a lot in the night, a mummy bag with an attached sleeping pad might be perfect. For the child who likes to feel unencumbered, perhaps the jumpsuit type of sleeping bag would be...

A Large Family Tent To Start A New Family Tradition

September 1, 2009

   A favorite summer tradition for many families is to rent a cottage for a couple of weeks.  With these difficult financial times it can be tough to justify the expense, however, with a little ingenuity, I think that we have found a wonderful alternative that might even outshine the cottage tradition. Take a look at this Sarengo 10 person family camping tent. This large family tent costs only a portion of what a two-week cottage rental costs and it can be utilized over and over again. An exc...
