Long drives, early flights, busy days, sun, wind and suddenly you realize you’re behind. Why is it so hard to just drink water? I’ve tried so many brands of hydration drinks, powder sticks, and vitamin mixes over the years. My gold seal of approval goes to DripDrop Hydration. The flavor is what first won me over. It dissolves easily, tastes clean, and makes you want to dri

You would think I just told the checkout clerk I’m going to commit murder with these hair clips as the perplexed face turns to shock. It definitely makes for good entertainment. When on the road tying at shows or venues, I get numerous comme
A wading staff is an important piece of safety equipment all anglers should carry with them. Of course if your only fishing in sandy waters that are ankle deep with no boulders to negotiate or if you only fish out of a boat, then a staff might not be necessary for you.
