This little light is very bright, has a nice clip, wrist strap, and takes 3AAA batteries which are not included.



You can find this flashlight on Amazon.


What AYL has to say about their product.

Hydration Belt


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

I like that this hydration belt comes with metal water bottles but I wish they had a wide mouth so that I can fit ice into the water bottles, as well as making them easier to clean.

With three pockets, one in the middle and one on either side you have lots of room to separate and organize your needs, from money, music, snacks, keys, ID, you have a place for them all.

This comes in two colors, has great reflective quality and fits great without hurting your hips.


This Hydration Belt  is available on Amazon.

The Fit Harmony Hydration Belt is an ergonomic waist belt with two deep water bottle pockets. With the belt, you receive two 16 oz aluminum water bottles that fit perfectly into the side pockets. A center pocket with a securely fastening zipper allows you to keep your iPhone and other essentials with you during every workout. 

Compared to other hydration belts found on Amazon, the Fit Harmony Hydration Belt is truly superior. Our running hydration belt is the best because it's: 

- FULLY ADJUSTABLE. You can easily get a perfect fit with the waistband, so you never have to worry about the belt slipping or bouncing. 

- MORE COMFORTABLE. Our breathable, padded waist belt feels great throughout any workout, eliminating distractions. 

- MORE VERSATILE. The included water bottles feature hooks on their lids, allowing you to attach them to any gear bag for use without the belt. 

- ROOMIER. In addition to the center pocket, the design includes detachable side pockets for even more storage possibilities. 

- SAFER. Our aluminum water bottles are completely BPA & toxin free. 

- MORE REFLECTIVE. Our patented trim can be spotted from further away than other belts.

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.

You can find these Marshmallow roasting sticks on Amazon.

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.
