Review: Nintendo 2DS with Mario Kart 7 - Electric Blue

By Anonymous
I bought this a few weeks ago for $80 at Best Buy. I have used it for about 1-3 hours since I purchased the 2DS. The 2DS is very comfortable to hold and has fairly large screens. The buttons, analog pad (The circle control on the left), and touch screen are very responsive. I have played Mario Kart 7 and Kirby: Planet Robobot on this device and have found that both of the games loaded quickly and played without any lag. For reference: my version of Mario Kart was a digital download and my version of Kirby: Planet Robobot was a cartridge game. My only complaint with this product is that you have to push the sides of the top triggers in order for the button to register correctly. This means that you have to push the button on the side, not the top, for the 2DS to respond to your click. I would recommend this to anyone who wants an inexpensive handheld gaming system that is easy and fun to use. Since purchasing this product I noticed that Best Buy appears to no longer sell this product.

    By the way, I am planning to temporarily switch the focus of my blog to product reviews until the holiday season is over.

Petzl Adjama Harness Review

By Anonymous
     I recently purchased this harness and used it at EVO Rock and Fitness. This harness is meant for mountaineering and ice climbing but it works fine when sport climbing as well. While I was using the harness, I climbed a few top-rope climbing routes with grades from 5.6 to 5.11 and boulder problems* from VO to V4. The harness was less constricting and allowed for a wider range of motion than all of the other harnesses I have used in the past. Even though people usually remove their harness before bouldering, I decided that because this harness did not restrict my range of movement that I would leave it on. There was no difference between bouldering with this harness on and bouldering with this harness off. There are also many other cool features on this harness. The gear loops for hanging climbing gear (Quickdraws, carabiners, slings, cams, bolts, extra rope, etc.) are filled with hard plastic in the front of the harness so that it is easy to reach your climbing gear. ...

Winter Camping Tips

By Anonymous
Even if you have gone camping many times before (Like me) you should listen to these tips (I didn't and was very cold last weekend). 1. Make sure ALL your gear fits you. I hadn't used my cold weather sleeping bag in about a year before I used it this weekend. It was too small and my shoulders didn't fit in the sleeping bag. 2. DO NOT USE a survival blanket (Like the one I reviewed) unless you are really in a survival situation. I did and my sleeping bag was very wet for the entire weekend. 3. Bring microspikes or a similar kind of crampon. I actually remembered these on my trip and almost everyone else on the trip didn't. I was able to walk on the ground (A huge sheet of ice) without slipping. 4. Have a mummy bag style sleeping bag for winter camping. These are a lot better for winter because they have a hood to go over your eyes. If you go camping a lot you will generally have 2 types of sleeping bags, a mummy bag for cold weather and a different one for warm summ...

Deuter ACT Zero 50+15

By Anonymous
I was given this pack 2 years ago for christmas and have used it on countless trips since. This pack has a lot of room for gear but the pack it self weighs very little. The top part of the pack can be removed and turned into a small summit pack. I use that feature when I want to bring a daypack but don't want to have to bring a whole new pack. This pack is also compatible with most hydration reservoirs. This is a very high quality pack and my only complaint is the lack of sleeping pad/tent straps (This feature is added in the newer version of the pack.) Some pics I took of the pack: The front of the pack without the top on  The back of the pack without the top on The top of the pack converted to the summit pack The back of the pack with the top on
