It also turns off at the two-hour mark, in case your kid forgets. The control mechanism on the Wiz is a bit complicated, but our kid testers didn’t mind clicking through the rainbow colors as they figured it out. Although the Wiz has only 30 lumens, that should be good enough for most kids (plus, they won’t be able to blind each other—or you—with the light). Rainbow lights make this kids headlamp fun to play with during camping trips or backyard adventures. As bright as our top pick for half the price, this headlamp weighs even less. But it’s not quite as comfortable to wear and lacks some useful features.
We tested the Spot 400 with AAA batteries and the BD 1500; we also tested the new Black Diamond Spot 400R, a variation of the Spot that you recharge using a Micro-USB cable. You have a choice of two beam shapes and two colors. The Spot 400 has three LED lights, two white and one red.The main “spot” LED throws white light far down the path in front of you, which is useful when you are hiking or walking your dog at night. We could see trees (and other neighborhood dogs) at a distance of about 100 meters.
The deep and narrow green is protected by bunkers on both sides with a highly positioned bailout area on the short left side. The 14th is a par 4 with fairway bunkers in play along the right side. Hitting your tee shot too far left will make for a difficult approach shot to a narrow and long green. A bunker and heavy rough sit directly next to the green on the left side. At 35 liters, this pack is perfect for day trips or for hikers who don’t need to carry a lot of gear on the trails. Also a good choice for youngsters who are new to hiking, or who need a rugged pack for toting school items.
ozark trail backpackWet weather is common to the Ozark climate, especially in late spring through summer, and fosters a breeding ground for bugs, mosquitos, and ticks. Consider bringing waterproof shoes and treating your clothes ahead of time with permethrin to repel insects. In the colder seasons insulating layers are a must, and a good rain shell for you and rain fly for your tent are necessary year-round.
ozark trail canopyThis relatively small green is heavily protected by a creek and lake in front of the green with bunkers on the short and left side. This drivable par 4 gives you multiple options off the tee. Hitting driver could give you a great look at birdie, but it will also bring the bunkers short of the green into play.
