great protection, dog will wear them

: I’ve spent hundreds on dog boots for my Schipperke, and he just pulls them off. He has had several paw injuries making his pads susceptible to wear and pain on both hot, summer surfaces and snow and ice in the winter. These are the only boots he will tolerate, and it has renewed his ability to go on longer hikes–5 miles at least. He is 15 lbs, and I get at least 2 uses in summer, one or two in the winter. Best product for now, and maybe someone will improve on them making them more breathable and durable. No paw issues even after he walks in streams and lakes.

Cristened 2 of these last weekend!

: I purchased the Olive colored ones. [...] But, I think that color is a much nicer “outdoorsy” color. I sold my 15 year old aluminum canoe to buy these kayaks. The canoe was only 75 pounds, but now too much for me to lug around these days. These Potomac kayaks are lightweight, easy to car top and honestly seem to be as good of quality than anything else I saw at Dick’s or other stores. Made in Canada. Are they white-water kayaks? Well, no, but for open water and small rivers and streams, they are just dandy! We christened them at Land Between the Lakes area in KY/TN last weekend on Kentucky Lake (see photos). My son and I explored and explored with them. A fantastic product!

What?!

: I don’t know what this thing was really intended for, but it wasn’t gaming. It should not come anywhere near your Wii system or any other gaming system ever crated in the history of software. Somewhere Shigeru Miyamoto is crying because this thing came into existence. The holes made for the buttons are the complete opposite of what is needed for the shooters on the Wii, and if you look on the package, even the guys in the picture are upset that the thing just doesn’t work. There’s nothing here that accomodates the nunchuk, which is used in EVERY WII SHOOTER EVER MADE. Did they make this junk without even looking at a Wii controller? I wonder. Do not buy this, and if you can, stay a good 10 feet away from it.

This is the very best I have ever used.

: This product claims to be free of odor, it is not odor free. But it is worth the bad smell which only lasts a few hours. This year I harvested a 3.7lb mango; this is a record for my tree over the past 22 years.

A fantastic family tent

: We bought the Kingdom 4 , footprint ground cloth, and optional 2nd vestibule for a family cross country camping trip. We pitched the tent along lakes in MN and at 8000′+ elevations in the WY Bighorn Mtns. Some nights we camped in all-night-long heavy thunderstorms and very heavy winds of 30-40 mph. Throughout all of it, the tent was dry as a bone, even though the back vestibule wasn’t installed. The back door may not have fly coverage, but when fully closed it is quite waterproof. When guyed at the corners and with the fly staked out, the tent is rock solid, barely rustling even in the strongest gusts. You can effectively close off the “windows” by staking down the edge of the fly that covers the mesh panels closer to the tent. The tent will still be ventilated without feeling drafty. We never experienced so much as a drop of condensation in the tent. If the fly is staked away from the tent in heavy rain, you may get a little splash back into the bottom of the windows, but closing them as described above totally alleviates that. The optional vestibule is huge and very useful, but not necessary to the integrity of the tent.

We have 2 REI X-Large camp beds pads (better than most hotel beds!) and with those and our 4 year olds standard pad, and very comfortably, we pretty much filled the tent, sleeping with our heads towards the back door. Those Camp Beds are huge though, and 4 people with standard sized pads would have no problem fitting inside. There are plenty of pockets to stash stuff sacks, water bottles, lights, whatever. It is very well-thought out.

Overall, we were absolutely pleased with this tent. It is very tall inside and pleasant to be in, easy to set up, and perfectly functional. The carrying bag is good and has room to fit everything including the extra vestibule, ground cloth, and more. I reccomend it without reservation as a family camping tent.
