OCOOPA Rechargeable Handwarmers

These Things are AMAZING! No matter what your outdoor winter activity you love, these are what you need to keep your hands warm in the worst of winter conditions. Rechargeable, with just a USB cable, these handwarmers not only heat up fast, they last for hours! Even on the highest setting these will provide you with several hours of heat during the coldest of temperatures. Sonya and Mark use these most often when sitting out in the deer stand. Having to sit still in the cold just makes trying to keep warm even tougher. These things really do the trick, whether tucked inside a muff, or just in your pockets, you can keep your hands warm and be ready to for your hands to work when needed.

YakTrax Pro Traction Cleats

These things have come in handy in more ways than you could imagine. These are perfect for winter hiking on trails that may be icy and otherwise impassible. Sonya and Mark used these on a trail in Utah that would have not only been impassable, but also extremely dangerous. Faced with an icy ridge, overlooking a deep drop off into the abyss, but with no other way to proceed. They strapped on their YaxTrax and safely navigated the treacherous terrain. While we may not always be out in such dangerous terrain, these come in handy for many other uses, such as shoveling your driveway, pushing your car out of snow, and many other otherwise dangerous winter tasks. These are a must have!

This is one purchase we can’t recommend highly enough. Victorinox, Maker of the Original Swiss Army Knife, is known as one of he top knife makers in the World. This knife does NOT disappoint. If you have an outdoor life style, hunting, fishing, even just maybe doing some butchering and meat prep in your kitchen, this is the knife for you. Not only is it razor sharp, it is easy to clean and sharpen any time it needs it. As people who prefer to harvest, prepare, and cook our own food, having a great boning/filet knife is an absolute necessity. This was definitely a great purchase!
