The Top Gadgets You Shouldn't Camp Without October 08 2014

Whether you are a hardcore survivalist or just looking for some fresh air on the weekend, it never hurts to have some modern conveniences to help make camping safer and more pleasant. Here are some neat tools and technologies to consider the next time you venture to the great outdoors.

NEMO Helio Pressure Shower
Although camp showers have been around for some years, none are as handy or high-end as NEMO’s Helio Pressure Shower. It has never been easier to maintain your hygiene and feel refreshed in the middle of nowhere. Unlike alternative models – which you just hang overhead to dribble water – the 11-liter Helio features an attached foot pump that allows you to create your own desired pressure for a five to seven minutes minute stream via the convenient handheld nozzle. You can even enjoy a rare hot shower by letting it warm in the sun! Helio also works great for cleaning other things too.

REI Incamp Insulated Airpad
Few things are rougher than trying to sleep outdoors, and conventional sleeping bags or airbeds do not make it that much easier. Most require strenuous effort to blow up, and even those with self-inflators can take time. The Incamp Insulated Airpad by REI resolves this problem by offering both supreme comfort and easy set up. Just open the bottom valve at the head, then pump manually for quick and easy inflation. The three-inch pad is plushy and comfortable, and includes an integrated pillow, cutting-edge insulation for warmth, and side buckles for clipping it to another pad.

BioLite Camp Stove / Portable Grill
Starting a fire is integral to any camping experience. Now you can cook food, get warm, and even reduce your carbon footprint with the BioLite Camp Stove. Just fill its chamber with the usual natural tinder – twigs, pine cones, wood pellets, etc – and light them up for an easy and safe way to cook. Integrated circulation creates clean combustion and enough heat to boil a liter of water in less than five minutes. You can connect the Camp Stove with BioLite's Portable Grill to cook up to four burgers or six sausages you’re your choice of low, medium, or high temperature zones.

Snow Lizard Products
Wherever your camping adventure takes you, Snow Lizard Product has you covered. Our Rugged Phone Cases will protect your precious mobile device from all the elements of the outdoors, including 6.6 ft (2 m) of water, dirt, mud, and other hazards; and drops or bumps from up to 6.6 ft (2 m).

Tips for Finding the Right Canoe October 06 2014

With Snow Lizard Rugged Phone Cases providing the protection your device needs for even the most extreme of conditions, you may be interested in taking up more outdoor activities such as canoeing now that you can take your smartphone or tablet with you. But in the case of canoeing, it is important to get the correct type of canoe for what you wish to do.

First there are the materials. Fiberglass canoes are strong and light while also being easy to repair. Kevlar canoes are expensive but up to 10 times stronger than steel and 20% lighter than fiberglass canoes with their durability providing long term value. Wood canoes are usually handcrafted and versatile for many environments; while the labor in building a canoe makes them more expensive, they can last for decades with good maintenance. Polyethylene canoes are a low-cost option for recreational canoeing and those who use them occasionally despite the fact they are heavier and less durable than other types. Royalex canoes are difficult to repair but are more resilient to impact and abrasion.

Then there are the types of canoes. Expedition and wilderness tripping canoes are best for those carrying large loads and their large sizes are typically meant to accommodate multiple passengers. Recreational canoes are easy to maneuver and ideal for day trips on calm waters. Whitewater canoes are designed exclusively for use in the extreme conditions of whitewater canoeing. River tripping canoes are designed best for fast moving rivers. Racing canoes are built without excessive weight to make them perfect for high performance racing.

With so many canoes to choose from, it is important that you get the canoe for your needs. But when it comes to Rugged Phone Cases, your best choice is undoubtedly Snow Lizards line-up of electronics cases. Our cases for smartphones and tablets (like the SLXtreme for iPad case) keeps your phone waterproof and safe from heavy drops.
