This Hydration belt from Koh Fit is bigger than most I have seen and is more sturdy or comfortable then others I have seen.

Smores for Everyone

One thing our family enjoys making all year round would be Roasted Marshmallows. Doesn't matter how hot or cold it is outside. We love ourselves some Roasted Marshmallows.

In the past we have used sticks, fondue forks, and even kabob sticks to make marshmallows. Well no more we have ourselves a great set of expanding roasting forks which can be used for marshmallows and hotdogs. I don't recommend trying these at the same time though.

I am happy to keep my children safe from fire, as well as being cut from the blades at the end. These expanding forks come with covers for the blades so what when they are being stored in between use they are safe, as well as not being able to damage the carrying bag the set comes with.

There are 4 forks and a bag, which make this great for families to take to the back yard or on camping trips. Just say bon fire and we will bring the Marshmallows.

16x52 Waterproof & Dual Focus Monocular

Years ago we had a monocular but I am pretty sure our son who always liked to play spy when he was little misplaced it over the years or it may be in the basement with his spy gear for all I know.

Having seen this one I thought maybe we should get another one. It is the closest thing to Binoculars we have owned and it does come in handy from time to time.

I can tell you this has a lot further reach than our original one had but then again that was over 20 years ago when we got it so things have upgraded greatly over the years.

This focuses easily and is comfortable to see through. Love the strap so that you don't drop it while moving around to see better. I can see this being used by hunters, campers, hikers,etc.

You can find this Monocular on Amazon.

A Light to Lead the Way

Great for camping, fishing, emergencies, power outages, or just for fun for the kids to use at night. Works on 3 D batteries not included. This can be sat on a surface or hung if needed. 

This is also waterproof which is nice for those who are fishing, in a boat, or heaven forbid in a flood. Easy to use with several settings depending on your needs.

Light in a Dark Place

Love these for my girls for when they are hiking and it is getting dark out as well as for my husband when he is working on close detail items so that he can see everything.

One thing my husband didn't mention in our video review was that this would make a great item to have in  your car for emergencies as well because of the blinking red light, much easier and safer to use then a flare.

The battery compartment is really easy to find, for easy change out.
