But, I'm lazy and I hate to anger the trees. But, what it does is keep them all nicely, neatly together in the storage space under the seats in our pop up camper. And, yes, as soon as I opened the bag I yelled, "Dibs on Pink!!!" No fighting over whose hotdog is on which stick and who has cooties and so forth. A friend thought that the tines actually fold back up into the handle, but they don't. I let them air dry (I was being careful, because I didn't want the telescoping part to remain wet when packed up) and put them back in their bag."
"These roasting sticks are the bomb! The telescoping extension action makes these roasting sticks far superior to anything else I've used, like extremely sharp skewers or sticks I have found on the ground. Even better, we had a bunch of toddlers running around camp, and although the skewers on the MalloMe sticks easily hold on to your marshmallow, they are not sharp so were safe for the kids to use."
"My husband does wish they were a little longer since we have two young children (ages 4 and 5) and he feels safer having them farther away from the fire it, but they are a standard size for these sticks."
"I really like the telescoping sticks, it makes them easy to transport and store in the great storage bag that came with the product."
"They have a pretty good reach too."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I felt ridiculous ordering marshmallow roasting sticks, having always been of the 'just find a good stick' school of marshmallow roasting, but with a move to a less wooded area, and using a fire pit instead of a campfire, that scenario was posing a challenge."
"However, the bluish paint on the wood handles has literally melted off while washing them."
"I love these!"
"I just took these out on their inaugural camping trip."
"Like I said in another post I plan to purchase a few more of these as gifts for my camping friends and family, plus one or two more for my own stock pile."
"Really excited about putting these to good use as the quality of the product was made by someone who kept children in mind of putting these into use besides roasting..Hint possible sword fighting!"
"The stick is study, the handle stays cool and the double-prong is handy for two marshmallows or to keep a hot dog securely attached to cook in the fire pit and my kids love the ability to twirl them at the handle instead of moving their wrist around."
"Although we've only had a chance to use the marshmallow sticks once, and I, personally did not use them, my grandkids think they are awesome."

"I love the two prongs for hotdogs no more losing a dog in the fire cause it fell off the stick!"
"Added bonus, since the stainless conducts heat fairly well, they cool off really fast, but don't get too hot to the touch even midway down the shaft."
"Hefty wooden handles, easy adjustable telescoping skewers, safety tips for storage, color coded so each person knows their own roasting stick."
"My family of 6, including my 3 kids under the age of 11 used these tonight to make s’mores around a fire."
"These are super cute additions to anyone's camping kits."

"Got this for my mini komato and was surprised how well it was made, so I ordered a second one for my Fuiego grill."

"I love frying turkeys, but the cost of the oil and the clean up made it most a twice a year thing for me."

"We have bought a few of these from Academy as gifts and my wife owns one (you can tell who make the BIG bucks in our house). I started looking for a tumbler because the one I was using at work was pretty beat up but I didn’t want to send $30 for one (yes I’m cheap). I did some research and by the time I got my Amazon Yeti I was armed with this information. I tried to label the pics: fake on the left in red, real on the right in green. 4) HEIGHT – The fake one is about 1/8” taller. 5) UNDER – The 2 tumblers have the “Design in in Austin…” sentence but the numbers after “China” are different. There is a difference in weight, I think the real Yetis are a bit heavier (also got this info from a YouTube video). If you are paying anything under $30 and/or if the cup is being shipped directly for China, chances it is a fake. My advice (if you want a real Yeti) buy one directly from Yeti, REI, Academy, Dick’s, Cabela’s, ACE Hardware…. At the end I did spend $30: I bought 3 Ozark Trails (look up Yeti vs Ozark Trail in YouTube) from the local Wally-Mart: two 20oz tumblers and one 30oz tumbler."

This pail holds 1 sandwich in a "hard plastic sandwich container," 2 large gatorade size drinks, 2 small hard plastic snack cups and a slim ice pack along with 2 bags of lunch size chips! His work gloves and eye protection glasses stay on the top under the elastic cords that are attached to the pail.

Find Best Price at Amazon"I purchased this product as an alternative to doggy chill mats, since the pet cooler mats when you put them in the freezer don't stay cold very long. I figured, these packs are big enough that I put all three into a pillow case and freeze them, it would be better than those cold mats that stay cool for only a few hours."
"Two bags of ice would hold for two days (which is impressive when the cooler is in the back of a truck in the AR sun all day). Still expensive, it was pretty gross because at the end of the day all of your water bottles are floating in some nasty (sweat, dust, etc.). 3 pouches of this stuff in a 50 Quart K2 cooler will keep a case of bottled water cold for up to two days. This gives me an endless supply of cold water in the field with no buying ice and no nasty water in the cooler to clean out every day."
"With the combo of the Pelican coolers and the Cooler Shock ice packs, I can't ask for anything better for week long outings to keep things cold in the cooler. It is also best to make sure they are laying flat as possible in the freezer so they will fit better in the cooler you are going to put them in. Crinkled up ice packs don't fit well in a cooler when space is at a premium while packing said cooler."
"I got a deer Saturday morning and packed it into my Game Bag Cooler and put the milk jugs in the chest and stomach cavity. When I arrived at the processor at 7pm on Sunday, not only was all of the game still fresh and cool, but the ice in the jugs had barely melted."
Best Camping Coffee & Tea Pots
Its classic method effectively extracts any coffee bean's essential oils, delivering bold unique flavor directly to your cup, that is otherwise lost in paper filters. Also, a poor frame design with a brittle glass teapot will likely lead to accidental cracks with typical everyday use. We have taken extra care by thoughtfully wrapping the large pot with our protective design to minimize breakage but not at the expense of its looks. SIMPLY THE PUREST WAY ~ extract & brew any loose leaf tea or whole bean coffee's essential oils into a single large glass carafe for a smooth rich gourmet taste with absolutely no grounds 100% guaranteed. PROTECTIVE DESIGN ~ unique & attractive insulated outer shell not only easy to admire on the kitchen counter but also protects from chips & cracks to the extra thick borosilicate glass coffee pot.

Find Best Price at Amazon"KORA - carafe cannot be separated from its plastic frame. Bodum - carafe can be separated from metal frame. Lid: KORA uses a very thin plastic that can be easily squeezed from the edges. Entire lid rotates when positioning to pour. Bodum uses metal for the outer lid which feels heavier and more premium with an isolated plastic piece that rotates independently when positioning to pour. Spiral plate (the plate with holes and spring): KONA uses 2 rows of holes in their plate which go from small to large. KONA uses a 3-hole cutout pattern. Bodum uses a 4-hole cutout pattern. All of this said, I feel the higher price tag for the Bodum Chambord is justified. What this KONA did for me however, was replace my broken carafe and gave me a spare set of plates and a light duty filter for less than a replacement Bodum carafe. My humble recommendations: First french press pot - buy the Bodum. Replacement carafe for broken Bodum - buy the Kona and reuse your Bodum parts (assuming you don't mind not using your Bodum frame)."
"==UPDATED 12/26/14==. I'ved tried a couple French Presses, including the $20.00 Bodum French Press & the SterlingPro coffee press, and this is my favorite one so far. Since all of the french presses essentially work the same, there's not much variation in the quality of the coffee (they all taste delicious!). You take some coarse ground coffee (which you can get from stores or a manual grinder), put it in the french press, and then pour in hot water. Another advantage of a french press is the flexibility-you can adjust the temperature of the water as well as the concentration of the coffee (by adjusting the amount of coffee grounds), so you can brew the coffee the way you want. This press is also designed so that no plastic touches the hot water when you're brewing the coffee, so that's always a plus."
"I read an article about best coffee types and found out that many people prefer the French press method to brew their beans. The press is made well and the screen looks like it could strain sand."
"When using, the screen filter does a good job of keeping grounds out and the handle is shaped so you won't burn yourself when moving or pouring."

"Others I bought work on the same principles but the way the two components were attached were not as easy to strike. The bullet fire starter also worked great but had to seperate and then reattach to not lose one component. Why make me do such nonsense?Überleben Kräftig 1/2" XL Ferro Rod / Fire Starter for Bushcraft Survival."
"Doesn't really run out (maybe with ridiculous amount of usage), doesn't matter if it's wet, dirty, hot or cold. It is also sharpened on the ergonomically correct side so produce a pretty nice amount of sparks that quickly light up fire starting materials. Although you can use a knife or other sharp tool to make sparks why do so when then there's a perfectly good designated scraper. I recommend you guys start scrapping from the bottom 1 inch or so, so that once you wear off that part you just go up rather than having wasted the entire tool if you used it whole length."
"When out with the scouts, while they are fiddling with the junk gas lighters that aren't worth a dime, I whip out my firesteel and BOOM!, the camp fire is lit, BOOM!"
"Typical fire stick only orange."

"My only complaint is the cord that comes with it is too short to get a good swipe at the flint."
