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...

Take a look at this beauty. I admit I’m in love! Even though this is considered a family tent, and an excellent one at that, and even though there’s only two of us, I really want this tent. I find camping is so much more comfortable if you don’t feel cramped and the Eros 6 Person Family Camping Tent would provide us with ample space to spread out in. Its’ two pod design is perfect. With us sleeping in one pod, we can have our dog sleeping on her own bed made up in the other pod and... Continue reading...

Little did I know, when I was first miraculously dragged out of the water, finding myself standing shakily on 2 clumsy water skis, holding on to a simple rope for dear life behind a belching speedboat, that I was going to be enjoying wakeboarding almost a 3rd of a century later!! After a few years in hiatus (and after being double-dared by my friends) I recently bought a Liquid Force Custom Thruster Wakesurfer 2009 and I’ve never looked back! It didn’t take me long to master the shorte... Continue reading...

Let me tell you about this phenomenal new trailer. It's the one everybody is raving about (I even saw it mentioned on Twitter!). It’s called the SylvanSport GO. Gone are the days when you had to have 2 trailers, one tent trailer for weekend camping and another trailer for hauling garden waste, building material, your ATV and mountain bikes etc. That did work in a pinch but remember how you had to have a certain rack for your bikes and a different setup for your dirt bikes. And when... Continue reading...

Time to go fishing for flies…I mean WITH flies and a rod that can handle those heavy salmon and steelheads! We have seen some wonderful rivers on our travels. Some with those deep dark shoals where you know those elusive heavyweights lurk but they have always been way over on the other side, well out of reach for a regular casting rod. After looking around in our local fishing supply stores, we found this great 4-p... Continue reading...

Since revolutionary bikes was the last item on my Have To Have list, this little Garmin Edge 205 Cycling GPS unit is the perfect companion to be attached to one of them. A little device like this is very useful for many different reasons, which you will see in a moment. Here is a little rundown of its advantages: The Edge 205 attaches easily on your handlebars or seat stem with its bike mount. The only thing you have to do next is to acquire a satellite signal and go! It is both lig... Continue reading...

My husband and I have enjoyed camping for many years and sometimes he has brought his mountain bike with him while I have remained at camp reading a book or preparing supper. I am not especially crazy about bicycle riding, because of weak knees. I have always looked at bikes as something beyond my capability, especially seeing my sweaty husband coming back from a life “on the gravel road”. But I have to tell you about my new life as a bicyclist with my new found friend, the Urban Mover UM... Continue reading...

I was looking out the kitchen window this morning and I realize that something was amiss on top of our 4X4 camping truck. Then I realized what it was. It was empty! Usually we have our old scratched and patched fiberglass canoe on top of it. Good luck to the person who took it because that means that now we can get a new one. Without delay, I dove into REI’s Canoe Section and almost immediately, I found exactly what I would like to invest in. It is the Old Town Penobscot 16 Canoe and I am... Continue reading...
