Portable Hammocks for Nature Lovers on the Go!

 Portable Hammock

 

There are many reasons that I love returning to my childhood home to visit my parents. While spending time with them and enjoying their company is the most important part of the visits, relaxing the afternoon away in their hammock is another! They have a large front yard that has the most comfortable hammock – perfect for napping. I have never had the space for one in my own home until recently when I discovered portable hammocks! It is so perfect for my limited space. Whether you have room to hang a hammock or get one built onto a frame, they are light weight, portable, and easy to use. They are great for anyone who loves being outdoors, but has limited space to devote to permanent structures! You will love these!

Portable Tailgating Grill Brings Swing to the Game

Portable Grill for Tailgating

Getting the most out of tailgating this season means having the right equipment for the job.  Standard portable grills are a handy accessory for tailgating, but many grilling enthusiasts wish they could bring along their trusty full-sized gas grill so there’d be more space for their favorite grilled meats and veggies.  It’s possible to combine the best of both worlds — portability and full-sized grilling capacity — thanks to the Weekender Tailgating Grill.

This portable grill is especially built for tailgating.  It has a full-sized cooking area and comes with a heavy-duty steel swing arm that attaches the grill to any vehicle’s standard receiving hitch.  What’s nice about this particular grill is that you can drive to your destination — whether that’s the game, the campground, the beach, or the neighborhood block party — with the grill attached securely to the outside of your vehicle.  After grilling is done, there’s no need to clean the grill before going home or worry that a messy grill will damage the interior of your vehicle.  The mess remains outside until you remove the grill at home.

Tailgating

The start of college football is just around the corner. This means tailgating season is about to be in full swing. Whether you set up outside the Rose Bowl at UCLA, spend an afternoon partying at Penn State, or soak up the southern charm of the Grove at Ole Miss, you are sure to need some tailgating supplies. There are tons of products that you can use to do everything from cook a gourmet meal to impress your friends.

Portable grills are the perfect way to whip up a pre (or post) game meal with no electricity. Powered by gas or charcoal, you can find exactly what you are looking for to cook in the great outdoors. They are compact, easily portable, and available in many designs – including a grill shaped like a football. There is no better way to get pumped for game time than to fire up the grill and enjoy a nice cold beverage. Stay cool while you grill with a Automobrella tailgating umbrella stand which is attached to your vehicle’s hitch! It is easy to install and very portable. It will also serve as a conversation piece, encouraging other fans to join your party and see what all the fuss is about. With these products, you will enjoy tailgating so much, you might just miss the game!

Comfort for Kids

Comment

I love keeping portable folding chairs in the trunk of my car because they so often come in handy.  I use them at the park, the playground, and the soccer field.  They are always welcome at picnics, barbecues, and on camping trips.  I even have a special child-sized chair for my son.  It’s portable, collapsible, easy to carry and store, and it even comes with a canopy top to keep the sun off of his sensitive skin.  Kids appreciate a comfortable place to sit just as much as adults do.  When their seat is just the right size, kids can feel extra special.

Portable Shade Canopies: Endlessly Handy

Comment

I challenge anyone to find a portable structure that is handier than a shade canopy.  There is no apparent limit to the variety of ways that portable shade canopies can be put to use.  Here are just a few:

  • Set up a shade canopy along the sideline of your kid’s soccer games;
  • Use it to enjoy a comfortable, impromptu picnic in the backyard;
  • Keep it near the sandbox to provide the kids with extra shade as they play;
  • Bring a portable shade canopy along to the beach and create your own personal cabana shelter;
  • Set up merchandise tables under a shade canopy at your next garage sale;
  • Instantly create a covered dining area on the deck or patio.

Portable shade canopies are economical and durable; they are simple to put up and fast to take down.  Many come with their own tote bag, which makes for easy storage.  I keep a portable shade canopy in the trunk of my car, and it never ceases to amaze me how often I find a use for it when our family is out and about.  How do you use your portable shade canopy?
