Well the traffic at Jordon Cooper Outfitters continues to grow. I thought I would link to some fun posts over there this weekend.
- RoadID Wrist Bracelet :: I am a diabetic but I hate the MedicAlert bracelets that I have seen. You won’t wear one of these out on the town with you but you may wear it while riding, back country camping, or hiking. They do a good job of communicating emergency information while combining it with something you want to wear.
- Stanley 500 AMP Battery Jump Starter with Compressor :: We have had a jump starter for years and the truth is if you use it once and don’t have to call a tow truck, you have paid for it. If you are married to someone that often leaves the headlights on, it pays for itself many times over.
- Lodge Cast Iron Hibachi :: I don’t really have the need for a hibachi has I have two good barbecue’s in the backyard and at the cabin but if I was in the pursuit of one, this is the one I would get.
It’s cast iron instead of stamped tin or steel. It is small enough to put in the trunk and take camping, use for tailgating or to use on the patio (about 20" x 10" x 9" and the legs lift the bottom about 4 inches off the ground).
The grate you place the food on is not welded wire, it is cast iron like the rest, so the cross pieces are as wide as the slots in between. They hold food well, hold heat well, and when you sear your food, you can see the wide dark sears on the food. (in case you are wondering, here is how to grill the perfect steak)
There is a door that opens down on the front to add coals or help the dampers to adjust the heat. The damper doors adjust by sliding side to side so you can adjust the draft perfectly. The grill disassembles for cleaning. It’s only four parts: the base with the front door, pin-hinged at the bottom, the top grate, the bottom grate, and the sliding damper. - Eccotemp Instant Water Heater :: This is posted at the cabin blog but I think this is incredibly cool. When we add hot water to the lake, this could very well be our answer.
- Your Complete Survival Kit :: Well here is what Les Stroud thinks should be in your personal survival kit with some comments from me added in.
If you use a cool product or gear that you think people should know about, send me an email with all of the vital information there and I’ll post it at Jordon Cooper Outfitters.
