Archery season is quickly approaching. Archery is a great sport for kids who aren't into mainstream sports, or can't physically do sports. In archery you compete as an individual, a team, or both... My daughter has been an archer for 6 years. Starting in 4th grade throughout high school. Which is nice because NASP has scholarship programs. Every archer, 4th-12th grade, uses the same style Genesis bow. You can buy your own or use the schools. She got into archery because she dislocated her knee, but still wanted to do a sport/activity. I remember feeling so overwhelmed when she first started. Not knowing what she needed, how things worked, or how to track her scores. Hopefully this list will help other parents starting their archery journey. *PLEASE pay attention when purchasing a bow which hand you need- LEFT or RIGHT*

Camping trips go wrong in three predictable places: you sleep badly, you cannot cook, or you have nowhere to get out of the sun. So I built this around those three problems instead of by aisle. Sleeping is the part people underbuy and regret first, and it is covered here with the Coleman Brazos rated for cold nights, a 2.5-inch sleep pad, the packable Trekology inflatable pillow, and a cooling mattress pad if you are in an RV or camper. Cooking is the Coleman two-burner propane stove, the MalloMe pot-and-pan mess kit, and a soft canvas cooler that packs down better than a hard-sided one. Water covers a LifeStraw for filtering on hikes plus a spigot container for camp. Then the sun and shade layer: a 10x10 Skyshade shelter, a pop-up UPF 50+ tent, two wide-brim boonie hats, and polarized sunglasses in both a splurge and a budget version. Prices start around $15 for a hat or a pillow and run up to the stove and the shelter, so you can fill one gap before a weekend trip or outfit a first setup from nothing. Good for fall camping when the nights get cold, first-time campers borrowing the rest, and families who want the sleeping situation sorted before they go. Save it before your next trip.
