[UPGRADE] 7 pcs Camping Mess Kit Silverware/Dinnerware Set EZYKOO Camping Eating Cutlery Utensils for 2 Person Backpacking Gear( Fork, Spoon, Bowl, Case ) Perfect for Hiking, Outdoors, Travel, Picnics by EZYKOO
5.0 out of 5 stars perfect for our next Boy Scout campout, June 14, 2017
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This was an interesting concept that I had not really thought about until I saw it. Normally I am looking for a mess kit that has a pot, pan, cup utensils and all packed together. For now this is perfect though. When I go on Scout campouts with my son we will have all that we need since all the cooking is done for the group and we don’t have to do it individually.

The care case keeps our kits together and easy to identify. The zipper keeps the cover closed while not in use so that our kit stays clean. The materials seem to be very durable as well so this simple kit should last a long time. The silverware is a normal size and the bowls are smaller than a cereal bowl but that is the give and take of this set. The size of the bowls actually works out well for portion control-something my son has not concept of.

I love the double-walled bowls for their ability to not get nearly as hot as its contents. To test this I got burning hot water from the tap and filled them up. I could feel enough heat to think the contents might be hot but nothing close to thinking about burning my hand as I held it. The set is very shiny and well weighted. You can cut with the fork and it is no different than using one from the kitchen-no broken forks in the middle of your camp food for you. The spoons are of equally good quality.

This set gets a 5 out of 5 because it performs to expectations and is very accurately described.

Big Ant Car Windshield Sun Shade and Two Side Window SunShade



Images provided by JustinTime

This sunshade is definitely a whole lot better than other ones I have had. First of all the quality is much better. Others have been very thin almost most foam fabric feeling that is white on one side and reflective on the other and rips and is not very durable. This one is made up of reflective bubbles on both sides, is thicker and a whole lot more durable. These features allow for the heat to be reflected back out while reflecting your air conditioned interior of your vehicle to keeping it cooler on the inside.

I love the design overall especially the dip in the top where the rearview mirror should be this allows the top edge to be a lot closer to the top of the windshield and give better coverage. I also like the strong suction cups that hold it securely to the window. Although it says that it has a Universal fit which means “Will fit all SUV, Trucks Vans & Cars” you need to realize that a car windshield is smaller than a minivan and thus definitely smaller than a large van or truck. So really I am saying that it can’t really fit all sizes of vehicles since they are all different widths but it still does a whole lot better job than not using it at all. (See pictures for size examples)


1999 Ford Taurus Wagon
2006 Chrysler Town and Country minivan
2008 Chevy Express 3500 van





















When not in use this shade also folds down accordion style and the packaging sleeve it came in makes for a great way to store it.

I will give this a 4 out of 5 stars because it is durable does its job and well made. The only improvement that could be looked at is truly making it more universally fitting by adding a few more panels to it that could be folded back for the shorter width vehicles and would fully extend for the big trucks and vans.

Gomer Hat gave 4 stars to: If You Were Me and Lived in... Elizabethan England

Gomer Hat reviewed:
If You Were Me and Lived in... Elizabethan England: An Introduction to Civilizations Throughout Time (Volume 8) by Carole P. Roman
4.0 out of 5 stars Another great book in the series., June 6, 2017
I love these books because they take what may be a boring lesson for some and turns it into entertainment that can hold your attention for the most part to the end. My 2nd and 5th Grader both said that they thought I had too many words but the overall liked the pictures and all the definitions. Speaking of which, my 7th grader is one that would go right to the definition section and read all of them and then later go back and read the book.

This book series in general would make a great section in a classroom library where these topics or periods are discussed. It is a great resource for a child doing a report on this topic.

Not only did my package come with the book but is also came with a children’s guide to cultures around the world (coloring activity book) and crayons and a pencil as a personal touch from the author.

I am happy to add this to my collection off books and give it 4 out of 5 stars based on my kids opinions.

AOMEES Disco Party Strobe DJ Club Magic Lights Show





Video provided by JustinTime

This is a pretty cool disco/party light. It has red, green and blue LED’s inside that can be used individually or as many different combinations. You also have the choice of having the combinations steady or moved around with the gyro inside. It also has three setting for a lightshow that dances to the music. This is my favorite feature. All of these choices are don with the small remote control that it comes with. The biggest difference between this one and a similar one that I have is the fact that you can change the pace of the flashing.

 This light is a smaller light that comes with a pivoting mount so you can hanging it from a DJ light bar or screw it to a wall or ceiling. One thing to note that if it is in the middle of a ceiling you will need a power extension cord because the cord is only about 3.5 feet long.

 This light is really fun for the kids to play with and gets them dancing when we turn on the beats and let the light respond to it. We love having multiple ones in our living room to make the light show even more exciting. This would also be great in some kids’ rooms or college dorms.

The only issue that I have with it is that you have to be pretty close to the unit for the remote to work. If you want to stand next to it and set it and forget it than their isn’t much problem but it you are wanting to have a lot of control or change in the show then you may find this troublesome.

 I rate this 4 out of 5 stars.

Pro Grip Universal Auto Car Cell Phone Holder - Mount on Windshield, Dash, Console - Includes Installation Instructions




Image provided by Amazon.com

We have been using this while on vacation at it has been really nice to be able to put my iPod up where I can see it while we use it to listen to music and be able to make changes as needed.

the holder can either be mounted to the dashboard with the included 3M adhesive mounting disk or the suction cup can be used directly on the windshield. I like the versatility of these option but do not like to have anything sticking to my dashboard so I mount mine to the windshield. I have had issues in the past with other suction cups holding for a little bits and  then they fall off and scary me. This one has not done that yet even driving down the bounce roads we have been on recently.

The green pad holds very well if the the back of the phone or case is flat and doesn't have bumps or texture. I tried using it on the clip of my iPod holder that was curved and there was not enough area to hold it. It is also easy to clean and reapply the iPod when the sticky pad gets dirty

Overall the moving joints of this universal holder work very well as well and it is very easy too get the angle that I want just by loosening the knob adjusting it and tighten it again.

5 out of 5 stars.

This is a nice little humidifier. It fits well on my desk and is pleasant to look at. Once thing that you need to realize is that it is not battery powered. it has to be plugged into a USB port. I will be taking this on vacation and using a power bank when no other USB port is available.
