I have to admit that I was a bit of a sceptic when I was asked to review the Sun Oven. It does not run on propane, electric or char coal. It is completely solar. It runs on the rays of the sun. Using the rays of the sun to cook dates back hundreds of years but Sun Oven has taken the art of solar cooking to a whole new level. The Sun Oven is made extremely well and it is so easy to use. It comes fully equipped with a built-in thermometer and a built in spill proof levelator. The one-piece collapsible reflector falls right into place and you are ready to cook. There is even a sun indicator that shows you exactly where your Sun Oven should be positioned to achieve the optimal amount of sunlight to maintain the right temperature.
I preheated the sun oven while I prepared a duck and some stuffed mushrooms to cook. The cooking pans are stackable which makes cooking clean and easy. I brought the food outside to put it in the oven and sure enough, it was preheated to 300 degrees. You could actually feel the heat coming off the oven. I opened the glass door and placed the stackable pots into the oven. I locked everything into place and went back inside to relax. I would come out every half hour or so to turn the oven into the sun to maintain the temperature. It was really That Simple! Three hours later, dinner was cooked to perfection. The duck was perfect as were the stuffed mushrooms! The best part? It does not matter if you leave your food in there all day. It will NEVER Burn.
The Sun Oven is perfect to bring camping, drop camp hunting trips or driving cross country in your RV. If you love to cook, this is a great way to try something new. I can tell you from my own experience that you will not be disappointed. My duck and stuffed mushrooms turned out amazing!

I am very nit picky when it comes to headlamps, and flashlights, so when asked to review some lights from BlackFire I was skeptical. My skepticism quickly vanished as I unpackaged the first light, clear through the fourth and discovered someone finally created a light that by the looks of each actually uses them. I cannot think of a job where any of these would not be super handy. These lights are so awesome I’m going to talk a little bit about each one individually.
This may be the coolest flashlight ever! It clamps, it pivots, it bends, it stands and it floats. There is no job where this light cannot be used. This is a must have in my pack and I’m going to need a couple more for my pickup and shop…it’s that useful!
You’re wondering what’s so special about a headlamp…we’ve all used them, they’re pretty much the same, except when they’re NOT, and this one sets itself above anything else I’ve tried with something quite simple…a metal hat clip! Never again will I snap a plastic one in the cold. Bright light and great battery life as well.
This little dude is just plain handy! Made of aircraft aluminum it transforms from a regular flashlight to an angle light with a simple twist. A magnetic bottom and side clip makes hands free use easy. High, Low and SOS mode for illumination as well as green and red LED’s.
This is going to be another pack must. Handy little light in that it clips, it swivels, it flips and it’s bright! Tiny light, with a big punch!

These earmuffs are exceptionally comfortable, and I don’t say that lightly, as am not a huge fan of earmuffs. The cup is small and yet fits to the ear completely, leaving no gaps for damaging sounds to get in. The Bluetooth technology makes these practical for many applications when you need hearing protection, but also need to hear your phone, or want to listen to music or other audio.

If you do not like sweating in earmuffs, or a muff hitting a gun stock, then these ear buds are what you are looking for! I cannot say enough good things about these buds. I have trouble hearing with background noise, AXIL GS Digital 1 buds said no problem we will take care of that! The noise canceling, combined with Bluetooth technology has me wondering where these have been all my life. I’m looking forward to mowing in these this summer and not missing another phone call, while enjoying music, but I’m most looking forward to hitting the woods this fall as a spear hunter. My hearing must be on point, and the hearing enhancement of these buds has just given me a huge advantage, thank you AXIL.
