Best buy on sleeping bag for backpacking or bike camping

under $40 and a great bag, look at the specifications.

I was a bit leary when I saw the brand name was not The North Face, or something you associate climbing mountains.... But not perfect but still and amazing value...



Extra-small sleeping bag designed for size- and weight-conscious hikers
Compresses down to 12 x 7 x 7 inches in included stuff sack
100-percent polyester ripstop linings; double-layer construction
700-gram Micro Tekk.7 microfiber insulation; full chest baffle

The Suisse Sport Adventure extra-small sleeping bag is ideal for long treks when a few inches or pounds can make the difference between a pleasant hike and an unbearable slog. The mummy bag is ultra-compact, compressing down to 12 by 7 by 7 inches when in the stuff sack. How small is that? Well, it's petite enough to hold in the palm of your hand. That means you can easily fit the bag in your hiking pack without using up a third of your pack space.

REVIEW: Redfeather Adult Conquest 25" Snowshoe

The Wait is over, the Redfeather Adult Conquest 25
is now available.

I had a chance to get my hands on the newest Conquest snowshoes, these are priced under $70 at Amazon and work great. They are so sweet compared to the regular snowshoe designs.

The frame is unbreakable in reasonable situations, I stood on the frame with two blocks on each end and stood on the middle.

These are Made In the USA

Mfg Specs:


CRAMPONS: Agressive toe and heel crampons are powder-coated to shed snow and ice.

FRAME: Injection-molded nylon | Grey

DECKING: Injection-molded nylon that’s been strategically reinforced using Finite Element Analysis for optimum strength-to-weight ratio.

BINDINGS: CROSS COUNTRY: Ultra-light made from Hypalon II and urethane straps which cinch down to any running shoe or light hiking boot for flexibility and large range of motion.

HINGE: Live-Action Hinge lifts the tail of the shoe from the snow with every step – for added mobility and speed.

Here is the copy from the Manufacturer with my comments:

Product Description
Redfeather's® Conquest 25" is an injection-molded adult snowshoe that was designed using FEA technology for exact placement of reinforcement structures to optimize strength and durability without adding weight. One size meets the needs of most casual snowshoers, and the shoe is molded with a raised tail for a more natural stride. It features an aggressive-grip heel plate and powder-coated crampons for added traction and snow shedding.

Injection molded snowshoes are the wave of the future!

these are GREEN products as well, Made from 100% recyclable Nylon!

NOTE: the specs show that these are good up to 175lbs, NOT TRUE they are great up to 210lbs. You may lose a little float but they can be used by the entire family.

Overall rating 5 Stars, these are very versatile!

Best place to buy: Amazon.com With Free Shipping Redfeather Adult Conquest 25




How does it stack up to the other brands:

Compared to: Tubbs Flex ALP 24- inch Men's Snowshoes
Well they look similar, These are a nice Snowshoe, Compact Design decks and the comfortable and secure ActiveFLEX binding almost 3 times the price. Nicer Binding.

Compared to:Tubbs Snowshoes Women's Frontier Snowshoes
These are a Women's popular snowshoe, nice again but really expensive in comparison.

Compared to: MSR Denali Evo Ascent Snowshoes
They say it is designed to Walk Easier: Tapered tip and tail make walking easier and more natural. Versatile: 6 Evo flotation tails (sold separately) allow you to fine-tune your snowshoes to meet changing conditions and pack weight. again 3 times the price and you have to buy something in addition for heavier users! what if it falls off in the snow.

Final Words

The best deal is the Redfeather Adult Conquest 25
they are just as good as the over $100 models for a lot less money.

Grilling steak tips...

Grilling Steak Tips – Win Hearts with Succulent Steaks
by: Chris McCarthy



Count the number of times you stared at the mere sight of grilled steaks and barbecues served on the table! Actually, it is all ‘the doing’ of the great Grilling art that gives BBQs and steaks their irresistible flavors and looks. You too can dish up lip smacking, shapely steaks if you follow some infallible steak grilling tips. By the way, grilling is not just a process, it is more about preparations and involvement, as you will understand from the following steak grilling tips:

Going ahead with the practical details of the grilling process, the first thing you will have to ensure is the quality of the raw material. Regardless of whether you are grilling fish or beef shoulders, tenderloin or sirloin steaks, the bottom line is fresh raw materials make the best steaks.

Steaks or fillets in the range 1.25 inches to 2.25 inches grill well. A little fat enhances the taste of a bar-b-q but too much of it causes the meat to shrink. Fat, likewise, adds to the palatability of the grilled steak, but then it also increases health risks. Therefore, a healthy tip would be to remove excess fat.

The next sets of steak grilling tips are regarding seasoning processes. You can season the steak with salt and pepper however, some prefer vegetable oil brushings along with salt and pepper seasoning or bbq rubs . Leaving the seasoning-coated steak for 30 minutes at room temperature will treat the meat, making it tender and augmenting its natural flavor. Two tablespoons of melted unsalted butter added to the seasoning will give the meat extra delicate flavor.

Now, getting down to the real grilling business, the first tip for you would be regarding the grill itself. You need to preheat the grill before placing the fish or meat steak. Follow this with oiling the grates if you are grilling some meat steak. For a fish steak, you can place a thin hole-poked foil on the grates, thus preventing the fish from sticking.

The most important section of steak grilling tips deal with ‘the doneness’ of the steak. A rare-done steak has tender, soft core enveloped in a seared outer layer. A medium-done steak is more evenly cooked with a brown exterior and semi-firm inner layers. Well-done steaks, on the other hand, are firm to the core.

The best way to ensure that a steak is cooked to your desired degree of doneness is to use a thermometer. Do not use forks or spatulas. They would puncture the steak causing the juice to flow out. A rare-done meat should be ready by the time the thermometer reads 140° on the Fahrenheit scale. Similarly, the ideal temperatures for medium-cooked and well-cooked steaks are 160° and 170° respectively. Remember, the cooking process continues even after you take the steak off the grill.

Equipped with these steak grilling tips you will be able to floor your guests. It would be worthwhile to keep some extra servings ready, for your guests might ask additional helpings of succulent grilled bbq sauce and steaks.

The New ICEtrekkers are here....

The Wait is over, the ICEtrekker Diamond Grip is now available.

I had a chance to get my hands on the newest Diamond Grip Ice Cleats, these are not your girlfriends Yak Trax. They have much more bite and have a rubber top that will surely hold to your shoes or boots. They have improved the design from the ULTRA TREKKERS which looked cool but tended to roll and not hold like these.

This new design has a Diamond bead that heavy duty like a link in a car snowtire, it is designed to spike into the Ice or Snow...

Here is the copy from the Manufacturer with my comments:

The greatest innovation in Ice Cleats is the Diamond Grip Chains

Great on Snow, packed Snow, and Ice High performance Ice Trekkers

Sturdy rubber sling designed to hold to your shoe and maintain flexibility in sub zero temperatures.

ICEtrekkers are the ultimate ice cleats

I think they said it all, they may have forgot it looks cook also!

How does it stack up to the other brands: Kahtoola Microspikes

Well they look similar, I am not getting the red, it looks like they are also twice the price.
__________________________________________

Compared to: Yaktrax Pro Traction Cleats for Snow and Ice

These look a bit more light duty, I have put these on they are more for the Car to the front door and not for any activity or walking. Is it just me or does this look like "Hannibal Lectors" Mask!

___________________________________________

Compared to: ICEtrekkers Shoe Chains NEW

These are a great deal for a Under $20 Chain with a quality rubber strap top that will stay on your shoes. These are not as grippy as the diamond grip but a nice price!

Found: super cool sports or SUV shade backdrop

Found this item, it is so cool and really pretty well priced.

Kelty has one that is much more expensive.

I set it up in less than 15 minutes for the first time, from now on it will take 5 minutes to set up.

I thought for sports you could even attach this to a baseball back fence or post.

The silver is designed to keep you 10 degrees cooler than a normal shade.






It is made by Texsport which has been in the camping arena form many years..

Eat Rare Meat!

After cruising around the web today, looking for new things, I came across a statement in Wiki on the category Grilling.

Well here it is:

People who eat medium-well or well done beef were more than three times as likely to suffer stomach cancer as those who ate rare or medium-rare beef...

Yep I don't know why or how but this is true...

The next time you ask for your steak well done thinking it is better for you... think again before you kill all the flavor and TRIPLE your cancer risk....

If you wait long enough you will find every food has a positive and negative.

HOT PEPPERS

By request: Peanut Butter Pie revisited!

Peanut Butter Pie (MMMM)

Outstanding

20 servings (serving size: 1 wedge or more)

Ingredients

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 (8-ounce) block light cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup natural-style, reduced-fat creamy peanut butter (such as Smucker's)
• 1 (14-ounce) can fat-free sweetened condensed milk
• 1 12-ounce tub frozen fat-free whipped topping, thawed
• 2 9-inch ready-made reduced-fat graham cracker shells
• 4 teaspoons fat-free chocolate sundae syrup

Preparation

Combine the first 3 ingredients in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Add the condensed milk, and beat until combined. Stir in the whipped topping. Divide the mixture evenly between shells; chill 8 hours or until set (pies will have a soft, fluffy texture). Cut into wedges, and drizzle with chocolate syrup.

Note: We loved this pie frozen--its texture is more like that of an ice-cream pie.
