Heading 1

I've always been curious about these little survival kits you see on Amazon. Are they worth it? What's the quality of the tools? If I'm lost in the woods, will they really help me survive? In this unboxing and review, I rate the 15 items in the kit from 1 (low) to 5 (high) and give the price of each item if purchased individually. Things don't start well, but considering the cost of the 15 items individually would be $107, and the survival kit sells for $32, financially speaking, this is a good deal. But aside from the financial question, is it something you want to put in your backpack for outdoor adventures? Watch the video and tell me what you think. If you're interested in purchasing this, here's the link: https://amzn.to/3TZ8pn2 (note: as an Amazon Affiliate, I will get a small percentage)

Note: In Settings, set Quality to 2160p60 for best resolution. I didn't go to Kauai, Hawai'i for the beaches, (but did visit them twice), I went for the hikes, the views, the landscape, the mountains, the trails, the jungles and forests. And I was not disappointed. :) On the eastern side of the Garden Isle of Kauai is the town of Kapa'a. Inland from there you will see NouNou Mt. known by the locals as the Sleeping Giant. I loaded up my little red travel backpack with a plenty of water, a sandwich, sunblock and hit the trail. In this video you are going to enjoy some of the best views I've ever hiked to. * Why only one hiking pole? My right arm is still healing from tearing a ligament a couple of months ago. * Why a long sleeve shirt in the Hawaiian heat? I'm a red head, we burn like vampires in the sun. The shirt is 50SPF and I was wearing 50SPF lotion on my head, face, hands, legs, etc. as well.

Redmond, Washington is a city is in the throws of huge changes. Yet, amongst that growth, there are several places where you can find hallmarks of its 100+-year-old history. Join me as we find a home built in 1914, a two-story landmark from 1913, and the site of the first schoolhouse in Redmond. Note: I broke a knuckle in my right hand and tore a ligament above the right elbow which means I can't use hiking poles which in turn means my normal hikes aren't possible. So for the next few months, urban hikes and nature walks. :) Thanks for watching and don't forget to check out my other social media outlets for more Amputee Outdoors adventures!

Every year, there's a new competitor to the backpacking meals from the old standby, Mountain House. RightOnTrek meals have thrown their hat into the ring and asked me to do a review. In this video, I rate RightOnTrack's Beef Bolognese against Mountain House's Lasagna with Meat Sauce using the categories of ease of preparation, nutrition, and taste. Does Right on Track make the grade? After watching the video and you want to know more, check them out at https://rightontrek.com/meals/.

You can still enjoy the beauty of nature without hiking up mountains. Nature trails and local parks like this are a great opportunity to destress, enjoy the sunlight through the trees and get some exercise. In my case, the Bellevue Botanical Garden is the perfect afternoon stroll. BONUS: I ran into my friend Ray from RayMD!

One of the most strenuous hikes I've done. The first two miles are moderate, but the last four miles of the trail are much steeper, and rougher with several crossings over wet and wobbly rocks or logs. The lake was half frozen over and there was still a lot of snow on the ground at the lake. Still worth it.

If you live anywhere near Seattle and do a search for "hikes near me" you're going to find Rattlesnake Ledge Trail on that list. It's one of the most popular hikes in the Seattle area and for good reason. The view of Rattlesnake Lake and the surrounding area is fantastic. If you can, I recommend hiking this trail during the week so you can get a good place on the ledge to have lunch and spend some time enjoying the view.
