Three Cool Items for Fall that Won't Break the Bank

Greetings to all, and welcome to my first blog post. As the name of this blog implies it will be about my lifestyle as a Yooper. Simply put, I'll be posting about sports, music, gadgets, outdoors, etc. Basically, if I think something is cool I'll talk about it! With that being said, onto the blogging!

All across the Upper Peninsula leaves are changing colors as Autumn is nearly in full bloom. This is by far my favorite time of year, and many yoopers, including myself, start spending more and more time in the woods as hunting season starts up. If you're going to be spending more time in the woods why not have some cool new stuff to use? I've scoured one of my favorite sites, The Fancy to bring you three things you can take with you into the woods this fall that are both awesome and affordable!

1. Camo Chillin Radio Cooler ($50)



Tunes and a few cold ones. What more could you ask for? This awesome cooler does both! It will play music from any mp3 player/smart phone, or you have the option to play the AM/FM radio. You know, just in case you want to hear Elmer Aho play some American Country Gold on a Saturday night. Another plus is that the whole thing runs off only four AA batteries. The cooler holds a 12 pack of cans, has extra storage pockets, and even has straps so you can hook it to your ATV if need be. The digital camo isn't my favorite, but at least it's got a rugged look so it will fit right in at camp. You can purchase it here.

2. Fancy Power Grid ($60)

Fancy teamed up with a company called Tego Power to create this slick gadget. It comes out of the box 80% charged which is pretty cool, but really everything about this is awesome.You can charge one iPhone twice, or two separate iPhones once at the same time. It's also compatible with iPods, iPads, Samsung Galaxies, and a lot more. It comes with it's own USB cable so charging it is simple, and the lights on top let you know much of a charge you have. It's a reliable and portable device that's roughly the size of a large cellphone. You can order it here.

3. Mo-Tool Wood Inlay Axe ($60)

Axe, hammer, screwdriver, blades, knives, can opener, wire cutter, pliers, file, and wrench. There's not much this tool can't do! Great for hunting, fishing, camping, you name it. It's also a little smaller in size which is a plus, because it comes with nice case so you can carry it right on your belt. If you're going to be out tooling around the woods or getting your deer blind ready this is almost a must have. In my opinion $60 is more than reasonable for something you can beat the crap out of and it keeps doing it's job well with very little maintenance to it. You can order it here.

So those are my three kick ass items you can purchase this fall that will make your time in the woods that much more well spent. If you enjoyed my first blog please like it or share it and pass the word along. There's definitely much more to come.

Until Next Time,
