Boathouse

2022-12-27 Clothing
Seemingly, one of the hardest things to find as an American Made product is clothing and apparel. Lucky for us, we discoverd Boathouse. The heritage of the Boathouse brand began in 1976, through the revolutionary design of the iconic Stevenson jacket. The innovative silhouette was introduced during the Montreal Olympic Games and featured a technically designed shoulder gusset, allowing full arm rotation. The Olympians received the signature silhouette well, providing a functional and fashionable alternative to their everyday uniforms. Continue reading

The Deck Tool

2022-12-16 Tools Utility
Do you have a deck on your home? How often are you driven mad by the leaves and other bits of material that get stuck between the boards? Lucky for you (and all of us!) The Deck Tool exists to alleviate these problems. The tool is the brainchild of founder George Wilson. He made the tool to solve a continuing problem of not being able to get all kinds of debris out from between the deck boards. After blowing off the deck there were still numerous items stuck between the boards. These included leaves, pine needles, oak clusters, helicopter seeds, and the worst, pine cone scales. These are almost impossible to get out. A big problem in the fall was that the bright purple sweet gum leaves that make the trees so beautiful will really stain the light gray deck when they lie on the deck and get wet. Continue reading

They make gear that is suitable for any outdoor endeavor. You can find chest packs, lumbar belts, protective cases and field gear. We have been eying the Enclosed Binocular Pack for a while now. It seems like the perfect design for carrying your binoculars in the field. Having used other options, we are 100% convinced the way Marsupial has designed this is the proper way it should be done. Opening towards the front is the way to go. Continue reading
