Compact Table ~ Super Easy, Lightweight, and Handy To Have

How many times have you gone to a ballgame, gone camping, or go on a picnic and wish you had a small table, or any table to make things easier? Here is something that is perfect just for that and many other things!


RORAIMA has a nifty Folding Compact Table that is lightweight, easy to travel with and easy to use. The table is made with a lightweight aluminum frame and top, that takes no time at all to set up. The whole table, base, table top, and storage net to hold things underneath it, measures 27½"x27½"x27½" and weighs all of 11 pounds. 


It comes in a storage bag with two compartments, keeping the top and base separated so they don't bang against each other.


I was really surprised at how easy the table was to set up. You open up the base (legs of the table) just enough to place the support bars on. Secure the support bars and place the table top on it. On each end of the table top there are cups that go over the ends of the support bars. The table top stretches to secure tightly to the base. Takes less that 5 minutes and you are set to go.


There is also net storage under the table that once attached, you can leave attached to store it. But if you don't need it, it comes off easily.


Surprisingly, the table can hold up to 120 pounds. That's quite a bit for a small table. It's just the right size for several campers to use for eating, or to take along to your kids soccer game to keep snacks on. There's room to stow things in the net and plenty of room on top to serve from. Oh, and it comes with a strap to help you attach the storage bag to your backpack for easy carrying. Nifty!

I think my only concern is that the metal does get pretty hot sitting in the sun, so I would suggest to cover it with a towel or cloth of some kind to keep from burning your fingers, or to keep it in the shade if possible.


We really like this little table and plan on keeping it in our car, although I wouldn't be surprised if we bring it out to use in the house once in a while when we have guests over for a buffet dinner. Small extra table is great for people to put their drinks on.

Get Ready For A Fun Summer With The Screen House From Roraima



I love sitting outside when the weather gets nice. There is just something about feeling the cool breeze and enjoying the sounds of the birds. To me it's extremely relaxing. So I was thrilled when I got the chance to review this Screen House from Roraima.


The Screen House comes packed in a nice duffle-type bag, with everything in it, also in their own, separate bags to keep things nicely organized. It's fairly light weight and easy to transport around if you want to take it camping, to the beach, or a park. Stowing it away in the back of your car or a camper would take up very little room.


Now setting the whole thing up is another story. I hate to say, but the directions are not the best I have ever had. They are written in very, very small print, making it a little difficult to read, and they are not as clear as they could be. Also, the illustrations could be a lot bigger to make it more clear exactly what thing they are trying to show you.

But after a few trial and error moments, my husband and I got the Screen House up. It took us about an hour, but I am sure that the next time, it won't take anywhere near as long.


I do have one small problem though. The tent stakes they send along are "L" shaped instead of the traditional "Y" shaped. This can be a problem when the wind picks up, and since this Screen House does not have any solid sides. The wind can really pick this thing up like a kite. I know, I watched the wind do just that!

But my husband did get the ends bent more to a traditional "Y" shape, and the tie-downs are holding much more securely.


I do like that they made it easy to roll up the door sections. There are ties in order to keep them out of the way. The two long sides have a full zipper on them, and it makes it nice for many kinds of uses.

I love the size, ample enough for 5-6 adults to enjoy sitting in with no table. You could easily fit a picnic table in it with plenty of room to walk around.

We are very sure we will enjoy this Screen House for a long time.

Compact and Easy to Use, Excellent Binoculars

This reviewer received the product free or at a discounted price in order to bring you an honest review. No other form of compensation was given. All opinions are those of the reviewer.

I love being outdoors and enjoying nature. There is always so much to see and enjoy. But much of it you can't get but so close to either for safety, distance, or because you might scare away what you are looking at. That's why we always have a pair of binoculars with us. You may think that is a little strange, but it's not. It's actually very practical.


We recently got a really nice pair of binoculars from WideSigther. These are some of the best compact, yet powerful binoculars I have every tried and I love them. So does my family.


The binoculars are 8x21, which means 8x magnification, 21-Millimeter objective diameter, or a very large field of view. Many compact binoculars don't give you a very large filed of view and you can have a lot of trouble staying with what you are looking at if it is moving or even finding it to start with.



There are two focus knobs that are easy to turn as you are using them. There is the center focus and then a right eye focus making what you are looking at super clear.



I love how nice and compact they are. I can hold them in one hand in the case that comes along with it. These are not going to take up a lot of room in your car, your backpack, your camper, or any other number of places you can stash them.


The case has a tight Velcro closure and a loop on the back so you can attach them to a belt if desired for quick access. Or you can let the lanyard attached to the binoculars stick out of the case to carry them over your neck.


If you are looking for a nice compact pair of binoculars to take along on camping trips, to concerts, sporting events, hiking and more, these would fit the bill very well. The price is excellent and you get a quality product the will work for many years to come!

When They Said Extra Large, They Meant It!

Sometimes you run into a company that consistently provides quality products. Well this is one of those companies. Sacko has been making amazing lunch bags and coolers for a while now and they just keep getting better at providing exactly what people need.


This Extra Large Dual Compartment Insulated Lunch Bag is no exception to their quality. It has proven to be even better than I thought it would be.




When they say extra large, they really mean it. This is the largest lunch bag I have seen on the market. It is perfect for a fun picnic for the family, for traveling, or for that big eater out on the job. The bottom of the cooler is big enough to hold more than a 6 pack of drinks. You can get 9 and maybe even 10 cans in the bottom of the cooler with room on top of them for other things and a cold pack. It's amazing how big this compartment is.


But there is also a top compartment that will hold fruit, sandwiches, and more. This top compartment unzips 3/4 of the way off the bottom compartment making it really easy to get in to each one without struggling to deal with the material the bag is made of. Oh, and the zippers have smooth action without catching.


Now here is the neat thing, there is a zipper that opens the bottom of the top compartment so you can get to the bottom compartment. If you need to carry larger items, this makes it super easy and you don't have to find another cooler to do so!


There are two nice sized mesh pockets on the short sides of the bag and one small zippered pocket on the front. These are perfect for carrying smaller things and stuff you don't want in the cold section like silverware, napkins, sweetener and more. The handle is very comfortable to hold on to. It is padded and there is plenty of room for even someone with a large hand to get a good grip on the bag. If I were to find any fault with this bag, it would be that there is not a shoulder strap to carry it with. I kind of like having that option.

 The bag is well insulated and can keep things nice and cold for 5-6 hours as long as you are not opening and shutting it a lot. I know my family and I will be using this a lot on day trips and jaunts to the beach!

Fantastic Small Camping Cook Set

Camping is something I have always loved and I also love being prepared, so this little cooking set s perfect for both!


OYJL has this nifty Outdoor Campfire Cookware Set that is perfect for a hiking trip or to keep in a bug out bag for emergencies.

The set is small enough to pack in a backpack without taking up a lot of room. When collapsed it measures 6" in diameter and 3¼" high. There is also a nifty mesh bag to store the cook set in too. It's a real space saver yet can do a lot.


Everything you need is included. There is a pot for cooking soups or other things with liquid, and a small frying pan to cook burgers, fish and more. Each of them has handles that fold out to carry and hold on to while cooking and then fold back in to store while hiking. Super easy to use.


It also comes with two small bowls for eating the yummy food you cooked or to use to prepare things before you cook. There is also a small dish that hangs on the side on the pot and you can actually poach an egg in it. There is a small sponge to help with cleaning when you are done cooking and a small bamboo utensil to help stir and serve food.

I really like this set. It fits perfectly on our small camping stove that takes up the same amount of space as this does. We're all set not to help out on a fun get away or if we have an emergency and need to cook on the go.

Top Quality Hammock Tree Straps From MLVOC Reviewed By Lisa

My sweet blog assistant, Lisa, loves hammocks and loves using them! So when we got in some tree straps for a hammock she was very happy to try them out. Here's what she thought about them.


I loved these hammock tree straps from MLVOC right out of the bag! They are made of strong durable polyester material and I am very impressed with the quality of the stitching. They are double, triple and even stitched up to 6 times at each loop. They have 18 attachment loops for 18 different variations to hang the hammock, so no matter how big or small the tree, they will be a perfect fit the first time.


There is no need to adjust these straps because they have a loop right where you need it each and every time you go to set-up your hammock. It's the fastest and easiest time I have ever set-up my hammock. The 2 tree straps and 2 carabiners (safety locks) come in a free carrying pouch which makes them easy to access and easy to store. These MLVOC hammock tree straps are strong enough to hold up to 2000 lbs. and they look it and feel like it. They are also made of non-stretch adjustable eco-friendly material that is light-weight and weather resistant. They are super easy to strap on and then just roll up and store away in the carrying pouch. My 9 year old daughter can do it all by herself in no time.


I was not impressed with the 2 carabiners that are included with the set. They do not appear to be as superior in quality as the straps. They look and feel very cheaply made. I did not feel they would be safe enough to hold much weight, but that didn't change my opinion about the high quality of the tree straps.


So thankful I had the pleasure of reviewing these MLVOC hammock tree straps, they are great! I highly recommend these to you!

Compact, Lightweight, Cozy Sleeping Bag From Wolfyok

It's camping season, and there are a lot of things you need to think about to get ready for any camping trip. One of the most important things is where you will sleep and in what.


Wolfyok has a really nice sleeping bag that will work for pretty much anyone. The one thing about this sleeping bag is the size. It's small, REALLY small! The bag when rolled up and stashed in the storage bag is only about 8" tall by 5" wide. Seriously, it really does roll up that small. This thing is so easy to travel with, extremely light weight, and amazingly easy to carry around, but at the same time is still a full-size sleeping bag.


The sleeping bag is made of nylon with a cotton lining. It kind of feels like a parachute when you touch it, only a little lighter. As light as this sleeping bag is, it is still nice and cozy to sleep in and use as a blanket. With the waterproof nylon on the outside, and the nice cotton insulation on the inside, you have several layers of protection from the cold down to about 15°. After using it I found it to be quite comfortable and I tend to get pretty chilled feeling at night.



The bag has a full length two-way zipper on two sides, so you can unzip it the whole way and use it like a blanket and even hook one bag to another to make a double sleeping bag. At the top of the zipper near your head, there is a Velcro strip to cover the zipper tongue so it doesn't poke you while you sleep. And of course, there is a zipper tongue on the inside of the bag that you can use to unzip it after sleeping in it. It works really well too.


This is a great sleeping bag to take along on a picnic or trip to the beach because it takes up so little room, the outside is waterproof, and it opens up all the way to use as a blanket to sit on when you are on the grass or the sand. And it is completely machine washable and dryer safe! Nifty!!


We like this small bag so much that we have decided to get rid of our other bulky ones that are for the same temperature levels and use only this kind from now on!
