Schwinn Coston CE electric bike review: I love these awesome side lights!

But they tend to be higher end models that can cost a considerable amount of money. I am what is politely known as a “budget conscious” person. The bike offers a smooth, comfortable ride, enough assist options to either get a workout or just cruise, and has plenty of range to get me around town.… Continue reading Schwinn Coston CE electric bike review: I love these awesome side lights!

Schwinn Tailwind electric bike review

The upper horseshoe-shaped thing is a keyed wheel lock that lets you run a metal bar through the spokes. This keeps the rear wheel attached, and also prevents someone from biking off with it. It’s no substitute for a chain, but in a friendly community (such as a retirement community on a lake somewhere), it’s… Continue reading Schwinn Tailwind electric bike review

Ozark Trail 6-Person Dark Rest Instant Cabin Tent Review Tested!

The one exception to the rule here is for the larger cabin-style tents, especially those with an “instant tent” design that uses pre-attached poles. These shelters tend to be much heavier and bulkier when packed up due to the frame design, so you’ll want to make sure you’ve got room to transport them in your… Continue reading Ozark Trail 6-Person Dark Rest Instant Cabin Tent Review Tested!

Review: Ozark Trail 45 liter, Backpacking Backpack

True, I wasn’t able to remove the rain fly to watch the stars or let the wind ventilate my tent, but I was able to enjoy the day hikes without any sort of worry. In essence, I had committed to the permanent rainfly option by default and there was a certain contentedness that came with… Continue reading Review: Ozark Trail 45 liter, Backpacking Backpack

I Tested the Ozark Trail 10-Person Cabin Tent Review

Overall, because a lot of water leaked through the un-taped seams and even the tent fabric after just 15 minutes of mostly light rain, I would say that this Ozark Trail 10-Person Tent is not waterproof at all. You might get a little bit of ventilation through the gap between the ceiling mesh and the… Continue reading I Tested the Ozark Trail 10-Person Cabin Tent Review

I Tested the Ozark Trail 10-Person Cabin Tent Review

An avid swimmer, surfer, hiker, and camper, she currently lives on the island of Oahu in Hawaii, where she can be found, as much as possible, in water. It is also important to consider the way in which the tent poles attach to the tent. Many of our picks use grommet attachments, which are more… Continue reading I Tested the Ozark Trail 10-Person Cabin Tent Review

The Path Less Traveled #010 Ozark Trail 30L Hiking Backpack Review

I have noticed that when I fill the bag up full or close to full it puts stress on the stitching. To resolve this issue, I do not fill it completely up with heavy stuff. Honestly, most of my trips it’s a quarter full and the water bladder and extra water bottles are what makes… Continue reading The Path Less Traveled #010 Ozark Trail 30L Hiking Backpack Review

The Ozark Trail backpack has a total of 22 liters of capacity with several pockets for your essentials. It has an open top side pocket, a vertical hidden… Continue reading Review: Ozark Trail 45 liter, Backpacking Backpack

ISLE Switch Pro SUP Review: Perfect SUP for Overnight Camping

The Wawona 6’s side-walls are high and straight, but the structure stays very stable in wind thanks to a final pole that wraps around the front and sides—and thanks to the absence of any acute angles in the poles. We were skeptical about the vestibule’s ability to handle wind, since it’s big and supported by… Continue reading ISLE Switch Pro SUP Review: Perfect SUP for Overnight Camping
