Posted by Vicki on Sunday, February 15, 2009, In : UpsideOver 

    Instilling an appreciation and respect for the great outdoors is one of the most valuable gifts we can give to the children in our lives. Having their own hydration pack, especially made for kids, gives them control and responsibility of their hiking and camping needs because they can carry their own water, snacks and hiking gear. This particular kids’ hydration pack has all the necessary elements they could want even though it’s nice and light, weighing around 20 ounces. It’s built...

A Perfect Bike For Young Kids Camping Activities

Posted by Vicki on Friday, January 16, 2009, In : UpsideOver 

   When you go family camping with kids of varying ages, sometimes it’s hard for the youngest ones to feel included in all of the fun activities. What’s great about this cool kids’ bike is that it’s perfect for young children to get a head start at cycling. This little beauty develops muscles, coordination and motor skills but is a super light (less than 7 pounds – 1/3 the weight of a typical 12 inch pedal bike) addition to the family’s tent & camping gear.  While it provides the ...

       New item #7 – foot first aid. As I’m sure you’ve learned from my enthusiastic blogs, I am a keen optimist. However, I try to be a careful realist when it comes to backcamping camping in the wilderness. I am determined that nothing, no thing (even a nasty blister), is going to put a blemish on our fantasy weekend! I’ve picked up a couple of packages of Glacier Blister and Burn Dressings, with each package containing 3 small and 3 large bandages. They are super cool… literally...

A Great New PFD For Children

Posted by Vicki on Sunday, December 7, 2008, In : UpsideOver 

   One often hears how things were so much better in the old days, but it isn’t true with everything.  Today, while I was browsing through UpsideOver, I found the Astral Otter kids’ PFD – comfy, safe and environmentally friendly. Wow! What an improvement! It brought me back to a beautiful summer morning many years ago.  My family and I were camping at the side of a loon filled fishing lake and this special morning my dad decided that I could go early morning fishing with him. I was only...

How To Snowshoe In Comfort

Posted by Vicki on Saturday, December 6, 2008, In : UpsideOver 

   When my husband, Conny, came home one night last week with a Tubbs Xplore 21 Snowshoe Walking Kit, I had no idea he had purchased it for me, since I have never had any experience in snowshoeing.

When I realized he was serious about us doing it together, I couldn’t stop laughing.  Then I started to read about the product.  How easy it is to “strap on and go” and that you can use a variety of different boots and still getting a perfect fit. But, how can this be? Let me tell you. This...
