Travel Sports & Outdoors

Gearing up for camping season is one of my favourite times of the year.  I love planning for a host of summer excursions to the great outdoors. Whether you need a new tent, or just some lighting for your site, or even some portable wine glasses for a bit of a ‘glamping’ touch, we’ve got some fun new gear for your excursions this summer.

Today's blog is all about having fun in the sun with equipment related to water sports and boating. Whether you prefer beach or pool, we've got you covered!

Summer is here, and that means time to get outside to enjoy nature and fresh air with the family. Camping has always been a popular outdoor summer season activity, however for novices it can be somewhat daunting trying to ensure you’ve got the proper equipment for your camping excursion. But, don’t worry; I’m here to help you avoid the hassles with my list of the most popular gear for camping this summer.

While we can debate the complexities, intricacies, and philosophies of the game of golf, one thing there’s no need to fight about is that every golfer appreciates new gear, and the latest tools. With Mother’s Day and Father’s Day approaching, this is a great time to check out some golf gift ideas, from GPS technology, to wearables, to great low tech gear.

Spring is just around the corner and next thing you know, summer will have arrived. When most people think of summer, they picture beaches, patios, and bathing suits, but I love me a good BBQ party. Food just tastes better on a grill. So it’s no surprise that I’m trying to make the experience portable. A portable BBQ will become your new best friend—and help you make lots of others.

 The trails are open and it's backpack season again. Can't wait to get out there? Don't worry, you don't have to load up on a lot of big gear to enjoy a weekend of backpacking. Here are a few things you can take along that are lightweight, multi-purpose, and will help you really enjoy a night or two in the great outdoors.

Another school year is almost upon us and a backpack is an essential back-to-school item. We have tons of backpacks to choose from that will hold all you need to be successful this year!

 There is nothing better than sitting next to a fireplace on a chilly summer night. (Except maybe sitting next to a fireplace on a chilly summer night with a slice of cake, but po-tay-toh, po-tah-to.) Outdoor fireplaces are a great way to add atmosphere and warmth to any outdoor gathering, and they couldn’t be easier to install than they are today.   

 It’s almost Father’s Day and it’s time to plan what you’re going to be grabbing your dad, grandpa or whomever you buy your gift for! Let us help you out with a few gifting ideas. In this first of many Father’s Day blogs, we take a look at gift ideas to encourage dad to cook outdoors more. Is it a new set of barbecue tools? Furniture? Maybe a new barbecue itself? Here are a few things to consider when you go gifting for dad this year.

Stargazers and amateur astronomers have many great opportunities to check out various celestial events in 2016.
