I heart everything about this Dock Hammock DIY Kit. Except the DIY Kit part, obviously. It would be much better if the water lounger arrived fully assembled and ready to use. Dock and water included...

I knew Heimplanet would be releasing the newest addition to their Cave Tent line, the Black Cairo Camo Cave Tent, on July 23, and felt pretty sure it would be the most stunning black and camo thing I saw all day. But...

The Decathlon 2-Seconds Easy Tent pops up faster than my topsheet when I have dreams about my 4th grade English teacher's...lemon bars. Man did Miss Michaelson bake the best lemon bars. And she'd always bring them in...

If anyone knows about extinction events it's tardigrades and my mama's garden hoses. Tardigrades, also known as water bears and moss piglets, are tiny - wee-wee-wee-wee-tiny all the way home - water animals that have...

Stay cool and look cool in the swimmin' hole this summer with a big ol' Convertible Car Pool Float. Tell her you'll be the Danny to her Sandy as you give the inflatable built for two as a gift to your girlfriend, and...

FUNBOY's Inflatable Rocketship Sprinkler has landed, and it's packed with stories of stars, space, and, more importantly, 4 "jets" that spray 360 degrees of hose water. The 8' tall rocket is an official piece of summertime...

VSSL CAMP Supplies is one of the latest in what is becoming an extensive, and impressive, line of outdoor utility tubes. VSSL's svelte gear kits for various activities, adventures, and emergencies could have easily gone...

I can think of one dude who does not need a pair of FORM Smart Swim Goggles: this dude. I am man enough to admit that I'm not the most elegant stroker (well, unless we're talking about Paco's Taco) and what I mean by...

Become a happy hoarder of heat and lumens with UCO's Candlelier, a snazzy, and snazzily-named, lantern filled with a trio of 9-hour candles. Available in 4 colors, the Candlelier is a valuable companion on camping trips...

Go from BRRRR to GRRRR. It's called Russian-Bear because that's who makes this cold-weather-ready hot tent with stove jack, but I think also because as soon as you get your wood stove a-glowin' inside, I'll bet many a...

The Jackery Portable Power Station Explorer 240 is a lunchbox-sized tagalong pal for outdoor adventures that demand forms of entertainment other than the outdoors and adventures. You know, laptops, drones, your Nintendo...

Dude. What I would give for my mama to have seen Plow & Hearth's Roll-Out Hardwood Pathway last spring before she saw these godforsaken DIY (read: guilt-your-son-into-doing-for-you) walkway path molds. That is, like...

One question that's been on my mind a lot lately is, how can we make trampolines more dangerous? Seems like Biubee has been pondering the same thing, but unlike me, they've come up with a terrific answer: a 49' long trampoline...

If I get the World of Watersports Super Slide, will you provide the backyard? At 25' long, this heat-beating piece of aquatic fun is big enough to accommodate 4 sliders practicing appropriate 6' social distancing at a...

This new track is on fire! It's not from Beyonce or Travis Scott either. Or Bruce Springsteen. Dad. It isn't even the song kind of track - though it can definitely rock out with the best of them. Dad. This track comes...

Not sure I'll make it to the beach this summer, but...the odds of getting there are a helluva lot higher than the odds of getting one of Piscinas de Arena's luxury backyard sand pools, in-ground swimming pools made with...

Put the pedal to the...water? A stand up pedal board? Sweet Jesus, as my current favorite Twitter meme might ask, "What chapter of Revelation are we doing today?"...

To my mama: I came in like a wreeeee-cking bar / I never pried so hard outdoors / All I wanted was to strip your walls / Of the siding that was lee-ee-eeky / Yeah it was lee-ee-eeky...

World of Watersports takes ancient Greece to the lake with their Parthenon Canopy Spa Island. Now, in an effort to make this Parthenon float rather than sink you like a Greek tragedy to the water's floor, WOW has opted...

Despite literally hanging from a galvanized steel stand, I'm not sure how fun Sportspower's Family BluPod Hanging Tent would be for the other kind of hanging. The out kind. The quality time with Mama, Pop, and the kids...

I just hauled 250 pounds of sand from Home Depot to my mama's house so she - oh, I mean I - could put it in her new patio umbrella, and now she sees the Rhino BaseMate patio umbrella base weight planter and is all, Ooh!...

I must be into predators today. Live Watersports' snake-tongued L2Fish and L4Expedition catamaran paddleboards come hot - no, how about cool and refreshing floating in a crystal clear Caribbean bay? - on the heels of...

There was a girl named Pilar in my class in 1st grade. She was very popular because her mom knew how to make pinatas and always sent one to school chock full of Laffy Taffy and Smarties for major holidays, such as Halloween...

Ahoy, dudes! Who's ready to set sail this summer on a...stand up paddleboard? Kayak? Canoe? This pop-up wind sail attaches to speed-craving, or just lazy, paddlers' and rowers' chosen water farer to kick your trip up...
