Tuffo Water-Resistant Outdoor Blanket with Carrying Case
Amazon Price:


Customer Review: This blanket is a great size, easy to fold, and perfectly water-resistant. However, its top layer (quilted top) and bottom layer (water resistant material) are not sewn together. Every time someone steps on it, they slip. My two-year-old fell the first time he stepped on the blanket because the quil…

Eureka Grasshopper Kids 30-Degree Sleeping Bag
Amazon Price: $27.05


Customer Review: We purchased two of the Grasshopper sleeping bags for our boys (ages 3 & 5) for camping in our pop-up camper. They work perfectly!! They are warmer than my Mountain Hardware sleeping bag! The temperatures get below freezing and they still have no problems.

The only warning I will give…

Katadyn Hiker PRO Water Microfilter
Amazon Price: $62.95


Customer Review: Do not buy this filter. The small inlet spout on the bottom of the filter breaks off with the slightest tap. We purchased the Katadyn Pro for a trip to the BWCA and after three days of use this part broke off. We tried super glueing it back but were unable to get a perfect seal and thus had only min…

Coleman Kids LED Flashlight
Amazon Price: $14.45


Customer Review: I bought this for a camping trip recently. My 2 year old son loves this

flashlight, and can turn it on and off and switch modes by himself. I also love the night light feature. Overall a great purchase!

MicroPur Purification Tablets - In Your Choice of Styles
Amazon Price:


Customer Review: These tablets take 4 hours and water must be kept dark for that time. It tastes better then iodine tablets, but iodine only takes about 20 minutes. They do the job, at least I have no reason to believe they failed, but you must factor the requirements into your situation.

Katadyn Base Camp Water Filter
Amazon Price:


Customer Review: It is true that we didn’t have water immediately but for a group of 14 to not be without water the entire week was a godsend. With the creek nearby the biggest complaint was that the kids had to HAUL water! For shame on the adults to make them do it! They just don’t remember having to pump every d…

Coleman Kids Explorer Sleeping Bag
Amazon Price: $32.99


Customer Review: A great sleeping bag. My son (age 7) was very warm camping in Lake Tahoe in May at above 6,500 ft above sea level and loved the glow in the dark lining!

Sierra Designs Hurricane Parka for Kids
Amazon Price:


Customer Review: This was a good parka for the price. I purchased two for my girls (ages 4 and 7). They stood up well. They don’t have insulation but they are definitely waterproof. If they are used with layers, they work great.

Last summer we purchased walmart jackets and the zippers quit working re…

Stainless Steel Drinking Bottle (Colorama) By Crocodile Creek
Amazon Price:

Nalgene Tritan Grip-N-Gulp BPA-Free Bottle
Amazon Price:


Customer Review: Ever have a baby who wouldn’t take a sippy cup? I sure do, my 15 month old didn’t want anything to do with any brand sippy cup I tried (ten brands in all so far) until on a whim I ordered this cup. He liked to play with my nalgene bottle so much I thought he might like that it looked like “mommy’s c…
