Hover-1 Alpha Electric Kick Scooter Review
My kids have kick scooters and my wife bought an electric scooter for work (getting to and from the parking garage). I started using my wife’s scooter to take the kids out daily around the neighborhood so they could get some exercise. I really liked using her electric scooter, so I purchased my own, so […]
T-fal Deep Fryer Review
We cook fried foods maybe once a week. We were originally using a regular frying pan, but we we learned about deep fryers and how they enable fast and even frying (restaurant level frying), so we gave a deep fryer a try and haven’t looked back. This is my real life T-fal Deep Fryer Review. […]
Surf crabbing with crab snares for beginners
I’ve been crabbing since I was a kid, throwing crab nets off of a pier and hauling up crabs. But, now I have three kids and my wife and I wanted to take them crabbing more often. But, packing and transporting several 36 inch smelly and wet crab nets in the SUV was not working […]
Penn Pursuit III Reel & Rod Combo Review
I’ve been crabbing all of my life, primarily off of a pier using crab nets. But, in 2019 I changed over to a fishing rod and reel set up with a crab snare. Using the crab snares (check out my article Surf crabbing with crab snares for beginners) has been great so far. A rod […]

Collins Splitting Axe Review
When my family started camping, I needed a wood splitting axe (aka “maul,” a tool with a heavy head and a handle) to cut the firewood down into kindling (easily combustible small sticks or twigs used for starting a fire) and smaller logs.

Stromberg Carlson Stake and Grille Review
When we starting going on family camping trips, we used a propane stove (see my review of Eureka Ignite Plus 2-Burner Camp Stove) to cook our food. But, my wife thought it would be nice to grill food over the fire and that clean up would be easier. Below is my real life Stromberg Carlson […]
A-iPower SUA2000i Portable Inverter Generator Review
We own a travel trailer (see my article What to consider when purchasing a travel trailer: 5 tips) and some of the campgrounds we like to visit don’t have any hook ups (see my article 3 types of campsites you’ll find at campgrounds). So, we have to bring our own source of electricity. I researched […]
