Beach Canopy and Umbrella

A must have for Spring, Summer, and Fall sports or beach outings. We've tried quite a few pop-up shades, tents, umbrella's etc. In the end this one always seems to be the go-to choice. Comparatively small and light, quick and easy to setup/takedown, can take rough beach weather (when pointed in the right direction!) It just works and it works faster, better and ligher than the other options we've used. 

What We Love:

1. Quick Setup
2. Light
3. Great protection from the elements

You ever had brisket smoked on a Traegar? How about smoked salmon? Smoked chicken? Ribs? Once you smoke your meat and veggies, you may never cook over gas or charcoal again. 

What we love:

1. The taste!!
2. Traegars come in a number of sizes to fit your needs
3. Temperature controls keep food at just the right cooking temperature

My addrenaline is pumping just thinking of my next trail ride!

If you love mountain biking or know someone who does, this is the cap for you! This mountain biking cap is embroidered and durable. It features a silhouette of a downhill mountain biker in action.

Coleman Dome Tent for Camping

This is the tent you take for overnight car camping. Best for 2-3 people. 2 cots fit great.

This one is the right size, has that dark room technology (seems gimicky but you can sleep after the sun has risen), and it takes a beating. Takes 5 minutes to set up.

* Keep an eye on the price, it goes on sale frequently.

What we love:

1. Affordable - tents wear out, you don't want to feel pain when it gives out
2. Dark room coating - actually works

Hiking Backpack - Medium

The G4Free hiking backpack is a great value. It is a medium, 50L pack great for camping, hiking, climbing gear, etc. The rain fly comes in more handy than I thought. 

We've purchased and used multiple of these. We have one for each kid for backpacking. It's a great pack for an overnighter.

The pockets/compartments are ideal for moderate day packing or simple overnighters.
