Ice Spikes for Shoes and Why Your Grandma Needs These More Than You

Ice Chains and Spikes for Shoes - Katoola

It seems that you can add chains and spikes to your trail running shoes so you can have a better grip on snow and ice. That's cool, right?

But honestly, I believe these products don't receive the proper attention.

Of course athletes know about this but what about the millions of senior people out of which thousands make the news every winter? The poor people fall on ice when going shopping and break their bones - are they aware of such anti slip protection?

GoPro Zoom

It seems that you can also capture zoom and DOF shots with your GoPro HD - which normally comes with a fixed lens (no zoom and no focus).

All you need to do is replace the original lens with the 2.8 - 12 mm Varifocal lens. You can do this yourself by dismounting your cam (see video tutorial below) or you can send it to RageCams and they'll do it for you.

Sleeping in the Snow and What To Eat in Order To Keep Yourself Warm at Night

Constantin Gabor - Mammut Sleeping Bag

Do you watch Survivorman? You know, the TV show on Discovery.

I do. I also watch I should't be alive.

But no mater how sympathetic I am with the people/characters, I'm still just a guy on a couch eating snacks (in a warm home with no pain or fear whatsoever).


New Balance Minimus MT10 Review

New Balance Minimus MT10

The science is in…running with less padding and support in order to strengthen your feet, calves and legs while (get this) reducing running related injuries!

As the New Balance slogan for their Minimus shoes says, "Less is more", I happen to agree with them.

We all know New Balance and the type of products that they put out; however, these shoes and other like it are a relatively new phenomenon in the running shoe industry as they incorporate the minimalist running philosophy into a lightweight shoe.

How To Choose Your Sports & Mountaineering Sunglasses

Sunglasses with interchangeable lenses

Have you ever went outside and felt like the sunlight is too bright for you?

Sometimes this happens even if the sky is cloudy. This is either because your are naturally more sensitive to sunlight (green and blue eyed people are prone to photophobia) or you stayed in low light (indoors) for a prolonged time and your eyes can't adjust to the new brighter daylight.

In any case, having a pair of sunglasses is always helpful.

So here are some short notes about what you may wanna consider when choosing your sports and mountaineering sunglasses:

Interchangeable lenses and UV protection

If you enjoy outdoor activities, a pair of sunglasses with interchangeable lenses is a must. Basically, you get 3 pairs of lenses, each for a different lighting situation.

Kids Love Climbing

One of the best ways to make your kid a responsible person is to treat him/her like an adult.

Now, I don't have kids of my own but I've noticed there's a difference in behavior when you treat the kids like one of your own (adults that is).

Me and my 12 year old cousin have been best friends since she was 5. When she was 6 years old, I took her with me on a 10 story building and she sat there enjoying the view while I was working on a billboard, hanging from a rope. Maybe I was was crazy (wasn't my child so why worry, right?) but I saw how my other young cousins develop with less permissive parents - there's a difference and not necessarily to the kid's advantage.

So one of the ways to actually empower your child is to let the kid go climbing and grant him/her the freedom to act and explore as if he/she was a full grown up.
