If you have been following my reviews you will notice I am big on things being lightweight and compact. After all who likes clutter and excess weight?

Within a minute you will have a perfectly cut branch and you will have a nice...

When you sit down in the "Mayfly Chair", the first thing you notice is how comfortable it is! This low riding, convertible chair is a perfect hybrid of our Monarch and Mantis chair. Its removable front foot can be used to give the chair stability like the Mantis, or removed to give it the hillside rocking functionality of the Monarch. When you are ready to go, the Mayfly collapses down into a much smaller package than standard outdoor chairs, and can easily fit into your backpack or tote. It only weighs 1.6 lbs, so it’s extremely...

Stay bug free using the ThermaCELL "Olive Appliance Mosquito Repellent Applicator". This lightweight, cordless device provides a 15' x 15' mosquito-repelling radius and works by dispensing a small amount of repellent into the air over a long period of time. A butane cartridge provides just enough heat to release the repellent from a small saturated mat for an odor free mosquito deterrent.
