October 23, 2014October 23, 2014 James Burnette 5 Comments

I like to use gear extensively before I review it. I don’t want to recommend something to you guys without first beating it. It if makes it through my torture tests then It gets the survivalpunk stamp of approval. I bought my trek light double hammock a few years ago. For a while it didn’t get much use. I knew I needed to review it. For the past few months I have used it daily. Right now I’m using it like a couch. Also a bed and a chair. At this point I have used it more than the regular user ever will. I know the trek light hammock inside and out. What do I think of it after all this time? Let’s find out.

The fine folks over at MPowered asked me about reviewing an inflatable solar lantern. Of course I am. What a neat concept. I’ve been playing around with it for a few weeks now. Testing out the features. Trying to use it in my daily life. Sadly I forgot to take it out to Dual Homestead for an overnighter. Another reason that packing lists are so good. I have used it at home as a lamp. Finally I’m ready to tell you guys about it. So let’s have a closer look at the Luci inflatable solar lantern.

Veggetti The Veggie Noodle Maker

July 18, 2014June 23, 2022 James Burnette 2 Comments

I really try not to ever buy anything As Seen On Tv. I have done it once before.I bought a green skillet from the ASOTV section and quickly regretted it. Db from Florida Hillbilly says his works great. He did not buy an ASOTV branded one and paid twice as much. Your mileage may vary. I havent seen the Veggetti commercials but I walked past it at work a lot. The Veggetti caught my eye one of those times. I have made zucchini noodles often in the past. I use them in my Zucchini Ramen recipe. The downside though is the time it takes to make them by hand. I have kicked around an idea to make a zucchini noodle maker before. Well I finally broke down and bought the Veggetti and just tested it out. How did it work out? Let’s find out.
