Travel John Privacy Tent

So you desperately want to go camping, but your wife refuses to put herself through the nightmare that was your last camping trip. You remember what happened, don’t you? She woke up in the middle of the night and said she had to go to the bathroom. You gently reminded her that you had kindly set up the porta-potty just down the path behind the big oak. She cursed at you, rolled over and tried to hold it for a while. When that didn’t work, she scrambled for the flashlight and huffed out of the tent. A few minutes later, you heard a blood-curdling shriek and hurried footsteps as she dashed back to the tent. She screamed that there were “creepy squirmy things” all over the toilet and that as she was going, she could see a pair of animal eyes staring at her in the woods. She vowed never to come camping with you again and rolled over without so much as a good night.
While this might be a sign that your relationship has bigger problems, we have a good suggestion for getting the little lady back into the wilderness. May we offer the Travel John Privacy Tent. This wonderful invention will shield your better half from nature’s intrusions, giving her a sense of comfort and relief. She’ll come back to bed calm and kind. The perfect Stepford wife.
And it has other uses too! Use it as a shower room, changing room, hunting blind, or privacy shelter. The Privacy Tent comes with a KWIK Silver™ mechanism and unique umbrella frame that sets up in 5 seconds! Just pull 2 ropes and the tent just pops right out instantly. It can also be taken down in just a few seconds! The Privacy Tent has a dome cover and mesh roof panel and 3 windows for air ventilation. It also comes with privacy window flaps, inside storage pocket and carrying bag (7″ x 7″ x 28.5″ packed). Also included are 4 stakes for anchoring or 4 weight pockets if stakes are not used. The heavy duty frame weighs 7lbs. It has a center height of 6′ and the dimensions are 4′ x 4′ sq. ft. A 1 year limited warranty is included. It's on Sale too!

Kenyon Polypropylene Long Underwear Set

We were skeptical at first when we heard of the new Vanishing Spray made by Disappearo Technologies. We've seen all movies like "Now You See Him, Now You Don't," the 1972 Disney classic where Kurt Russell invents a fluid that makes things invisible. (Don't confuse this movie with Russell's 1992 effort "Captain Ron" where he just didn't show up.) But after we tried it we were convinced. It works like a charm. Of course, we didn't want to get this spray in order to do evil things. Not that we didn't think of plenty. (At the top of the list was sneaking onto the Oprah set and planting a whoopie cushion under her seat.)

No, we wanted it only to better promote the clothing products we sell. As you can see in the picture here, we're wearing a nice Kenyon Polypropylene Long Underwear Set. But since we've used the Vanishing Spray on ourselves, the only thing you see is the underwear. See how well it stands out? Exactly.

Kenyon makes some of the best long underwear out there. Both the ribbed knit crew top and bottom are made of 100% polypropylene, which allows maximum stretch and comfort. And it will keep you warm on those cold winter days.

You're probably wondering where you can get the Vanishing Spray. Unfortunately, we cannot give that information out due to our agreement with the manufacturer. Our apologies.

Nikon Sportstar Binoculars

Green Pick-O-The-Week

So you’ve made the new year’s resolution to only buy only Green products this year. Good for you. (No, I don’t mean the color green. I’m mean earth friendly! What world do you live in, buddy? Why don’t you just jump into your Green Gremlin and drive to Ireland.)

Now, for those of you still reading this, you probably know you have to do a little more homework when you shop so you can find products that don’t contaminate the environment. We’re sure one of the first things on your list is a good pair of Binoculars. You’ll need this to make sure you’ve can see Al Gore clearly when he gives his speeches. These will also come in handy when you’re playing the game, “Spot the Prius” with your kids. Ahhh, such fun. For these times and others, we would suggest the Nikon 8×25 Sportstar Binoculars. The Sportstar comes with Eco-Glass optics that are free of both lead and arsenic. (It’s scary to think those OTHER binoculars have arsenic in them, isn’t it?) The Sportstar has been newly redesigned, is compact and lightweight, and comes with an attractive two-tone black and dark grey finish. The rubbercoating provides a comfortable grip and the multiple layers of anti-reflective compounds provide crisp, sharp viewing. Long eye relief makes the Sportstar the perfect compact choice for eyeglass wearers.

Add one more thing to the list of eco-peaceful products you own and the get Nikon Sportstar today!

Red Ledge Acadia Rain Jacket

If you've delayed in buying a decent rain coat, perhaps because of the cost involved in getting a decent one, stop looking and pick up a Red Ledge. Red Ledge Acadia rain coats come with 100% nylon coated with PVC material with electronically sealed seams for total waterproofness and durability. They also have front and back internal mesh for generous air flow, 2 way cargo pockets, and a extra large horizontal seamed hood with a visor. If you've ever had a hood without a visor built in, you know that it doesn't do a good job of keeping the rain out of your eyes. This one will. It also has adjustable velcro wrist cuffs, a tough plastic zipper with storm flaps and adjustable elastic drawcords with cordlocks.
