Into the Wild
by Jon Krakauer
Amazon Price: $10.17
Customer Review: We all know the story by now, so I'll spare the details. Whether you've seen the movie or not, you'll enjoy this book. A little dry at times, but WELL worth whatever money you spend on it.
You definitely won't be disappointed.
Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why
by Laurence Gonzales
Amazon Price: $10.85
Customer Review: This book is, believe it or not, a page turner if you are interested at all in human behavior under the strain of a survival situation--why we do the things we do that get us killed or help us survive. I wasn't a quarter of the way through the book before I ordered Mr. Gonzales' second book. Buy this book--you will not be disappointed.
Stand By Me (Special Edition)
Amazon Price: $8.49
Customer Review: When the author (Stephen King) says this is the best depiction of one of his stories done in movie form, you can bank on it. It is based largely on King's childhood and some of his childhood friends at age 12. It has a unique universal appeal to many of us who experienced many of the same things and had similar friends at that age. This has got to be the best movie ever done about "coming of age", the journey, and the people and things we encountered at that innocent age. Its a movie you can...
Run for Your Life
Amazon Price: $13.49
Customer Review: This film can teach you a lot about commitment, passion, believing and following every single dream in your being.
3 pack iphone 2g 3g 3gs headphone with microphone - WHITE
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: I purchased three replacement headphones for my iphone 3g and initially was pleased with the idea of getting all of that for the low price of $15. I went into this transaction knowing that I was getting the quality that I was willing to pay for and I wasn't disappointed. It took me less than a month to cycle through all three (and I pretty kind when it comes to taking care of my stuff). The headphones all still work but the microphones, the reason for the purchase, were quick to go.
Pedco UltraClamp Assembly
Amazon Price: $20.03
Customer Review: This indeed is the best camera mounting accessory I have ever encountered and have personally used. I am an action camera POV fanatic who was hunting down for the best mounting accessories in the market which I could pair with my trusty Vholdr Contour HD 1080p. (Vholdr makes probably one of the best action cameras to date but their mounting accessories are either poorly designed or made of poor material.)
The Ultra Clamp design is very well thought of. I nailed down about five secur...
Meyenberg Powdered Goat Milk, Vitamin D, 12-Ounce Cans (Pack of 3)
Amazon Price: $25.51
Customer Review: Goat milk is very good for the digestive system. Fortunately, it performs many functions that the medical world is not aware of. I can remember in the 40's, my father curing his ulcers with goat milk. He lived until the ripe old age of 94. I have friends who have discarded Rx and over-the counter products, in favor of goat milk to solve their digestive problems.
Even though regular goat milk lasts long in the refrigerator, powered goat milk lasts longer, and is easily made when ...
Meyenberg Evaporated Goat Milk, 12-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12)
Amazon Price: $36.80
Customer Review: I tried this product and it had the most horrible taste. I really thought it would taste nice. This is the first time I have ever tasted Goat milk though. Very strong taste. My advice is buy one can and see if you like it first. I have extra goat milk that I or my family will not drink. I plan to use it in making homemade soap so that I get some use from it.
Nite Ize NGC-03-01 Rugged Glasses Case, Black
Amazon Price: $12.99
Customer Review: I have prescription glasses and sunglasses. I put a caribiner on the tab of this rugged case and clipped my glasses on my belt loop, purse handles or backpack so I could easily switch out between my glasses easily. The attached lens cloth is a realy plus.
First Aid Only Outdoor First Aid Kit, Soft Case, 205-Piece Kit
Amazon Price: $24.99
Customer Review: I love love love this kit. I have one in my house and one in my car. I usually have my god-children on the weekends and we do a lot of physical activities outside (ride bikes, different sports, go to the playground, etc.). I have had to use this a lot on scraped knees and bug bites and it works great. I love all the band aids and ointments that came in it. The whole pack is so compact that I throw it in the bottom of the stroller and off we go. SN: I found this same product in a different color ...
Tree Huggerz Organizer
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: Wow! An absolute must for any camper! This is a great little item; packs really well, had a strap big (or small) enough to fit any tree trunk - and came in handy for lots of supplies to keep nearby. Would highly recommend!
Functional Cufflink Set : 2 Pairs (Levels & Compass) Cufflinks W/Gift Box
Amazon Price:
Thermos Nissan 12-Ounce Stainless-Steel Tea Tumbler with Infuser
Amazon Price: $18.75
Customer Review: Quality item all the way. I primarily use it to sip cold water or hot tea.
I thought the item was a little small but in fact I rarely finish the whole contents off. I think if I had an option on a 16 ounce size I would consider it, so I knocked off one star because of the size.
All said and done however, it makes a nice gift or something to keep for yourself.
Thermos Nissan 10 Ounce Stainless Steel Food Container
Amazon Price: $17.51
Customer Review: Thermos does what it is supposed to do. Keeps my kids food hot for lunch. Simple design. Rugged enough for a First grader.
Rothco 550lb. Type III Paracord
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: Doesn't appear to be the real deal. Flattens out in your hand. The outside sheathing is just too loose for me. Real parachute cord that I've messed with is round and tight. This appears to be an aftermarket item to appeal to the masses. I agree that it can be useful, but if you want the real thing look elsewhere.
Moving Comfort Women's Fiona Bra
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: The merchandise was exactly the same as in the store only $15.00 less expensive! I received my product the same week. I would purchase again from Amazon.
NFL Black Pittsburgh Steelers Lunch Bag
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: This is a great lunchbox. I bought it for my husband who is a huge Steelers fan. It is made well and fits several lunch items. It comes with a divider to help seperate lunch items but can be removed if not needed.
Tuffo Muddy Buddy Overalls (4 Toddler)
Amazon Price: $29.95
Customer Review: A complete suit to keep your child dry and clean on those rainy muddly play outside days.. Functional and how cute does a kid look in a full yellow suit!
Natural Wood Straight Shaving Razor
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: Really pretty, little straight razor, feels good in hand but failed to cut much on the dry shave test. Maybe a little stropping would help. Stainless steel, China
Camp Dry Mink Oil Paste (132000)
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: I have used mink oil for years and this product is the best of any out there. It does what it's supposed to do and thats all we ask of a product to do.
Suisse Sport Adult Adventurer Mummy Ultra-Compactable Sleeping Bag
Amazon Price: $34.00
Customer Review: The product is ultra-compact as advertised. Worked well during our 11-day backpacking trip. Good for temperate weather above 30 degrees. It could have been a 5-star for me if the zipper did not get snagged constantly.
Intex Queen Prestige Downy Airbed with Hand Held Battery Pump
Amazon Price: $24.99
Customer Review: Loses air a little bit over night, but seems more stable than air mattresses I have used previously. Included pump works good. Used for camping in the back of a van!
Paratrooper 2 Silver Slide Blade Knife
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: it was cool tell i open it up and it got stuck then it was hard to open but after that it was awesome
8 Inch Sharpening Stone

Eagle Creek UnderCover? Security Wallet (Khaki)
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: Just got back from a trip to Italy! This wallet did everything it said it would do and then some. It was great not to have to fumble around going thru customs trying to find my drivers license, passport and boarding pass. This is a must item if your traveling anywhere, because every thing you need is right at your fingertips. Also Amazon was great at getting it to me in a timely manner. Thanks Again!

Skullcandy SP1 Link Pack (Black/Camouflage)
Amazon Price:
WikiReader Pocket Wikipedia
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: Great for looking up info on specific topics; tedious if need info within the topic (LOTS of scrolling required). Love the fact that I can take & use anywhere without internet access.I've been out in the "field" (hiking, camping, etc. & wanted to know habits of porcupines, ladybugs, etc. and this little device has so much info and is so portable. Just wish there were a stylus attached to the side to use instead of my too-fat fingers which hit the wrong letters too often! Sadly my wiki is somewha...
Texsport La Paz Hammock
Amazon Price: $19.40
Customer Review: I recieved this as a gift on my birthday. I fell in love with hammocks when I was enjoying some down time during a busienss trip in Rio. There is something about resting outside that puts you in that vacation frame of mind; even in your own back yard. It seems to be pretty sturdy. I will bring it in doors durint the winters so as to help make it last.
Coleman 62-Quart Xtreme Wheeled Cooler (Blue)
Amazon Price: $50.64
Customer Review: I will be searching for a different cooler, as this one is now leaking. That's after replacing two sets of hinges.
PELICAN 1495 CC#1 Deluxe Computer Case
Amazon Price: $190.42
Customer Review: This case is a quality product, except for the combination lock, which will shift combinations at its own whim. Before going for the hammer and chisel to open your case when it won't respond to the combination you entered, try turning the first number through all 10 digits and trying at each one.
Skullcandy SP1 Link Pack (Black/Camouflage)

Skullcandy SP1 Link Pack (Black/Camouflage)
Amazon Price:
Mountainsmith Aurora II Camera Bag
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: I chose this camera bag based on its measurements and shape, planning to use it with the shoulder strap rather than the hip belt. However, I discovered that folding the hip belt into the space provided made it too cumbersome, and I had to just cut it off. Other than that I like it very much. The zippered compartments work well for extra memory cards, batteries, lens cloth, etc. It is well padded, and the movable dividers allowed me to create a space to fit my Canon PowerShot SX20IS exactly. ...
Yukon Advanced Optics 3x42 Night Vision Waterproof Monocular
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: Nice monocular - just remember it is a Generation I
Pro: Small enough to thrown in a back pack & nice to have at night around the campsite.
Con: Limited field of vision & have to readjust a lot.
Delorme Earthmate PN-20 Handheld GPS (with Topo USA 8.0 & 1-GB SD Card & Reader)
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: It's not like I NEED 8 GB of RAM, but I bought it to replace the 2 GB card in order to post a lot more maps. Bad luck for me, it doesn't like the "new" higher GB cards. Oh well, it's still an awesome tool and plenty rugged. The graphics are easy to read and understand with the precision pretty good, even for Alaska.
Brunton ABC's of Compass and Map Video
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: Well, they left out a lot.
I stepped thru this video (recorded to my hard drive), to really tear apart this video (because I wanted to know this information).
They really don't explain thats theres different ways to use a compass (& map).
They kind of lump things all together, without pointing out & separating different techniques. So it all kind of runs together. Thats bad IMHO.

Klean Kanteen Stainless Steel Water Bottle
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: This is an incredibly sturdy water bottle, better than any of the others I've tried. High grade steel and a very secure cap.
CamelBak BPA-Free Better Bottle with Bite Valve
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: Works very well, and is pretty durable. The best bottle i have ever had. Only complaint is that after a year of everyday use, it started to leak a little because of being over tightened. So just be careful with it and it should last a while. I hand wash it, but i suppose it would be fine in the top rack of a dishwasher.
Victorinox Swiss Army Champion Plus Pocket Knife
Amazon Price: $34.99
Customer Review: Not much to say, except that a Swiss Army knife is a darned handy thing to have around, and that the Victorinox brand is well worth the slight increase in cost over no-name brands. This is the first big SAK I've bought in many years; a hotel chambermaid made off with my old one. This model doesn't have the pliers, but I often have a Leatherman around also, and it *does* have the scissors, which are darned handy, more often than I would have expected. The Victorinox line--at least, every one I...
Emergency Mylar Blanket - 62" x 82" - Pack of 12 Blankets - EB-12
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: You can use these reflective mylar foil sheets for dozens of applications - and with 12 huge sheets you'll have plenty left over even after tossing 2 in each of your cars!
Mylar is strong, light and (this metalized type) is highly reflective, both of light and thermal energy. Normally this stuff costs quite a bit, especially if you buy it packaged for some of its other common uses. Mylar does come in several thicknesses and these blankets are cut from one of the thinner types (< 1mm...
Intex Queen Prestige Downy Airbed with Hand Held Battery Pump
Amazon Price: $24.99
Customer Review: Loses air a little bit over night, but seems more stable than air mattresses I have used previously. Included pump works good. Used for camping in the back of a van!
Intex Classic Downy Queen Airbed with 2 Pillows and Double Quick Hand Pump
Amazon Price: $24.41
Customer Review: These are a must when camping. This particular mattress worked great for us. Very comfortable. I also noticed that, when properly inflated, one person moving around doesn't affect the other, which is more than I can say for my bed at home. It did deflate a little on us, but that was probably the temperature change (went from 80 to upper 40s).

Surge Hybrid Solar Charger for iPhone 3G, 3G S (Black)
Amazon Price: $69.95
Customer Review: I was very excited to receive my black Novothink Surge for my iPhone 3GS ... and then I used it.
As previous reviews state, it works great if you charge it with the included USB cable. That is not why I bought it. I bought a "Solar Charger for iPhone" as their website very clearly states. Unfortunately it was not intended to be an efficient solar charger or at least not a solar charger intended for daily use.
Here is a direct quote from Novothink's website, which I w...
Surge Hybrid Solar Charger for iPhone 3G, 3G S (White)
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: I found out about the Novothink in the local paper as a 'superior' gift choice for Father's Day.
I was quite impressed & began doing research, watching videos, reading other reviews, even writing the company with unanswered questions.
This past week I purchased one (white) & after one day Ive already called Amazon to send it back.
To leave my I-phone glass down so it can charge is dangerous in my opinion. There's a space for a wrist band or carabiner but ...
