260 ft Reflective Bird Repellent Tape

 Product Link 

I will admit to being a dummy on this product. I had never used scare tape before, we actually quite enjoy watching birds out of our front window.  However, we intimately know just how annoying birds can be around our garden. We lost a whole yeld of blackberries last summer because of birds stealing them. It's a little late in the year to guard a garden but we were able to test this tape a different way. 

First off, I want to say that this is not actually tape, it doesn't stick to anything. It's more like a ribbon. We were able to tie it around our grape vines and it seems like it will stay, however it has ripped on us so we don't know how long it's going to last out in the elements. But, it is shiny and should scare off birds. We've used aluminum plates before and it has worked. 

There is an alternative use for this tape, though, one that's especially useful now that it's getting closer to Christmas. This tape is red and silver on one side and green and silver on the other, the perfect colors to make Christmas ribbons out of. It will take a bit of crafts know how and patience but it will be worth it! I would give this product four stars and would definitely recommend it to someone looking for scare tape!

C&G Casual Nylon Lightweight Travel Camping Foldable Skin Backpack School Daypack

 

 Product Link

If there's one thing you need at this back to school time, it's going to be a back pack. However, if you're someone like me, you only use your back pack half the time and you need to be able to store it the rest of the time. For me, it's hard finding a place to store a full sized back pack. I live in a room inside a small house and have no closet to speak of. So, having something that can easily be quite a bit smaller is rather important to me and that's something this backpack can do!

My favorite feature of this backpack is the fact that it has a built in pouch for storing it. You just fold it up into the pouch and zip it up and your backpack is much, much smaller and easier to store away! It's great for the person with very little storage space as well as those that only use their backpacks during the school season and need to put them up when they're not going. That way you know it's safe and don't have to buy a new one next year!

It is a very good size for pretty much anyone. You, yourself can use it or your child can. It's not heavy at all and will be able to hold whatever you want it too. I have used mine to carry my laptop, my tablet and college text books. Its strong enough to carry all of that without straining or ripping but not so bulky that it adds extra weight to what you're carrying. You have multiple pockets to store items. I was lucky enough that my tablet fit in the front pocket which kept is safe from all the heavy books I carried. With all the different places to store items, this backpack is great for school or sports or anything you need it for.

One big draw is actually its price! I work in a retail store and I saw backpacks that weren't half as good as this one going for twenty or thirty dollars. For a very cheap price you get a very nice quality backpack that can be easily stored and used whenever you need it. It might not be brand name or a fashion statement but it's a nice, durable backpack that will last you quite a while as long as you don't try to destroy it. I would definitely recommend it!

ThorFire LED Camping Lantern USB Rechargeable mini Flashlight Torch Light Lamp Collapsible Hand Crank Hiking Jogging 

I absolutely love products that don't require electricity to work. Yes, you can use electricity with this lantern but you don't have too, that's what makes it so nice. If you're the type who goes camping often or who, let's be honest, keeps a bug out bag stocked at all times, this is the perfect item to include in it! This way you'll always have light and, if the power does go out, you won't lose it if the battery dies! 

The part I like about this camping lantern is probably that it does have the hand crank instead of fully relying on being recharged by a power outlet. As was said in the questions, it's best to completely charge it with the power outlet but, if you can't, being able to hand crank charge it is amazing! I've had a couple like this before and they still work even after years. You just have to be sure to crank or charge them around once a month. If you let it go much longer than that, the battery power can drain completely and not be able to be recharged. Just keep in mind that even rechargeable batteries have a life span too. I've been told that 500 recharge cycles is the max for any rechargeable battery. However, depending on how it's made, it could be more or less than that. 

Beyond the charging, the two ways you can use this light, as a flashlight and a lantern, is just really cool! I was a little worried about it not working because it's expandable but, as you can see by my pictures, it worked wonderfully! Even straight out of the box and uncharged, it was impressively bright! I already want more than one of these because I'm sure my father is going to steal this one from me! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes to go camping or just wants to be prepared in the event of an emergency!

Cycling with Roswheel!

So, remember that bike seat I showed you a while ago? The really cool one that looks like a spider web? Don't worry if you don't, you'll see it again here! I recently started working with a seller who sells AWESOME items! Their store name is Roswheel, go check them out! Well, they've been setting me up for cycling this summer and I wanted all of you to see these awesome items! They're something every cyclist needs and should have! 

But, anyway, let's start!

Allnice® Uprated Vershion Comfortable Light Weight Mountain Bike Road Bicycle Hollow Out Spider Saddle Seat Cushion Bicycle Accessories-Black Color 

This bicycle seat is perfect for the avid cyclist! It's made for optimal airflow so that the cyclist doesn't get overheated while riding while being made in a special way to reduce the danger of numbness during long periods of training. Regular bicycle seats work for the normal user but someone who bikes competitively or even just rides their bike everywhere they go should have a bicycle seat like this because they're much better for them!

Beyond helping with airflow and numbness, cyclists also worry about the weight of their bikes. Every ounce counts for a competitive cyclist. This seat is not only better for them, it's a lot lighter than a normal seat. For someone who worries about that, it's perfect for them! Replacing their normal seat with this one will save them precious ounces and help them to ride just that much more faster!

As for the other reviews that say that the product description for this bicycle seat is misleading... it clearly says that this is made of plastic. It's made of toughness engineered plastic but that is plastic. You don't have to worry about it though! This seat has absolutely no give. It's not going to buckle under you because it's plastic. Plastic can be just as strong as metal when made correctly and this plastic is made correctly. I really would recommend this seat to all avid cyclists, it will help you in so many ways!

 

 

Roswheel® Windproof Anti-sand UV400 Polarized Male Sunglasses Goggle with Interchangeable 5 Lenses Glasses Kit+Carrying Case with Hook+Bag+Cleaning Cloth+Head Band+Polarizing Test Card+Glasses Rope for Outdoor Sport Cycling Bicycle Bike Riding

 

I have to admit, I know little to nothing about glasses used for cycling. I'm not a professional or anything so I just squint my eyes when the sun bothers them and hope for the best! But after talking to a cyclist, I learned that the glasses are actually really important. On top of stopping sun glare from blinding them while they're riding at speeds that are frightening, they help to keep dust out of their eyes and protect them from the wind!

Since I am not a competitive rider, nor do I ride a motorcycle, one of my friends tested these for me. I did wear them a bit riding my own bike but I couldn't get up to a high enough speed that I actually needed them. He took them on one of his early morning endurance rides and was begging me to keep them when he came back. He said that they worked impressively. They stopped the sun from blinding him and his eyes didn't feel wind burned. He tried a couple of different lenses and said that the preferred the darker lens himself but some people will like the lighter lenses more.

Speaking of that. These glasses come with five interchangeable lenses! That's like getting five pairs of backup glasses for free! If you don't like the original lens, you're sure to find one that you do! And, in the event that the lenses might break, you have a backup that you can use! I'm not saying that's very probable but being prepared is always best! These glasses also come with a case to hold them and the lenses, a bag to hold the glasses, a strap for endurance and outdoor riding and a cleaning cloth! From the point of view of a casual and hardcore cyclist, these glasses are high quality and well worth the cost, we highly recommend them!

 

Roswheel® 15614 Outdoor Sport Ultralight Nylon 20L Travel Foldable Backpack Bag Hiking Camping Cycling Bicycle Bags

I don't often go camping or hiking but I do carry a lot of things with me when I leave my house for work. I have to have my computer, my tablet, my phone, books and literature plus my meals and anything else you could think of. I was looking for something that could hold all of it but not be really bulky and in the way when I wasn't using it like luggage would be. This backpack is the perfect solution!

When I first got it, I was surprised at how small the bag was. I assumed that the backpack would be small and not able to hold a lot. Well, I was completely wrong! It took a little bit of work, but when I got it all the way opened up, I was absolutely shocked at the size! It was bigger than the backpack I used to take to school! I knew that I'd never be able to get it back into the small bag like they'd had it but I was so impressed, I didn't care! I've attached some pictures to show the difference in size. You'll be surprised too! Surprisingly, I did get it back in the small bag, also! It's just not near as neat as before!

My next worry was that, since it was so much bigger than I thought it would be, that the material would be thin and weak. So, I started packing it to see just how much it could hold. I have everything I need in it and it's not showing any signs of distress. Trust me, what I need to carry is heavy. This backpack is amazingly designed! It's strong but not bulky and, as the product description says, tear resistant and made of ultra lightweight encryption polyester fabric. I can't say I know what that is but it's impressively strong! No, I wouldn't stab a knife into it but it's going to be able to handle some pushing and shoving better than other backpacks. If you're looking for a backpack for any reason, I would highly recommend this one! It's highly quality and quite a deal!

 

Roswheel® Tool Free Installation Waterproof 7 Modes 5 LED 260 Degree Wider Visibility Bike Bicycle Cycling Laser Tail Light Safety Back Rear Led Light Sky Stars Bright Lighting for Road Mountain Bike

In this video, I introduce you to the Roswheel Bike Lamp! I just love this little lamp! It's perfect for cyclists riding at night and provides increased safety for cyclists and motorists alike! Please ignore where I say the description says six modes and I counted seven, I misread! If you're a cyclist or even just a causal biker, I would definitely buy this if you ever ride at night!  Please watch the video below. This bike light is just awesome! I enjoyed playing with it a lot and it's super useful!

Well, there you have it! Cycling with Roswheel! What do you think? Awesome, isn't it?! Combine these items with the bicycle pump that I received from another company and I'm pretty much all set for cycling! All I need is the bicycle! Anyone want to give me one? But, all kidding aside, these really are awesome products! I have enjoyed every single one of them. If you're looking for safety equipment like this or just want to look like a more serious cyclist, Roswheel is really the place for you to go. I highly recommend their products and their store!

Complete Survival Camping Gear Kit 6-IN-1 By InYard(TM)

This complete survival camping gear kit is a survivalists dream! The first time I saw this kit, I wanted it so badly that I almost dipped into my birthday money to buy it for myself! I just love things like this. I wouldn't classify myself as a survivalist or say I'm someone preparing for the zombie apocalypse but I don't see any reason not to be reasonably prepared if there's an emergency. Products like this and power banks and spare water supplies are very important!

This kit comes with so many things you'll need if you're going to be going camping or have to camp for some reason or another. The product description does list what comes in the bag but I'm going to rehash it here just in case you missed it! First and foremost, this bag is a waterproof, ten liter bag that rolls up impressively small but also expands to hold just about everything you'll need! Inside the bag includes a quick dry towel, which has it's own bag, a Magnesium flint fire starter, emergency rescue whistle, fork, spoon, bottle opener and a universal 360 degree wire saw. But the item that I like the most is probably the credit card tool that contains a compass, razor blade, tweezers, ruler, toothpick, bottle opener, magnifying glass, AWL, and a screwdriver!

I will admit, it took me quite a while to write this review simply because I couldn't stop playing with the items in this product. They're really ingenious. All these different multi-tools have specific uses that will help you, well, stay alive. You can put pretty much everything you need in one bag and be out in minutes. I guess that's why they call it a bug out bag!

All the pieces of this kit are very high quality. They're not flimsy plastic that's going to break the first time you use them! They seem like they can survive about anything. They can definitely survive being knocked off tables and onto concrete floors! My cat enjoyed playing with them just as much as I did. Overall, this survival kit is something that everyone should own! There's absolutely no reason not to be prepared for the worst at least this much. I highly recommend this product! I received this Complete Survival Camping Gear Kit 6-IN-1 By InYard(TM) during a promotional pricing period for product testing purposes.
