Parkland Foldable Pet Playpen Review

Click photo above ☝️to watch the YouTube video. https://youtu.be/wWFcJh2uags This is Prius Wanderer reviewing the Parkland Pet Playpen for car camping with my three dogs. Product Links Pet Playpen https://amzn.to/2M8ZoVI Pet water bowl https://amzn.to/2v49f8y (These are Amazon Affiliate links. I may make a small commission at no cost to you.) I ordered this foldable playpen from Amazon for about $37. There are dozens of these kinds of foldable pet playpens to choose from on Amazon. I chose this particular playpen for its large size, 2 foot high and 4 x4 foot interior space and because of the outstanding reviews. It has a completely attached bottom and a fully removable zippered top. There is a front zippered door that can be secured open to allow your pet to come and go freely. The mesh is not a thin netting, it's more of a thicker plastic feeling material that they won't easily be able to easily claw through. I also like the neutral brown and beige colors....

Folinstall Folding Camp Table Review

Image
  https://youtu.be/rLsp-qVzGbI Click the photo ☝️to watch the YouTube Video. This is Prius Wanderer reviewing the Folinstall Folding Camping Table. This table is perfect for my needs. It sets up in 3 minutes and packs away in 2 minutes. The surface is large enough for my single burner butane stove and a prep area. The aluminum alloy top is a bit slippery so I use a non slip mat under my stove to be safe. This is a very sturdy table. I believe the weight limit is roughly 150 lbs so it will be sufficient for all of my expected tasks. It is a lower table which is perfect for me as I am a petite 5'1" tall. My 6' son needs to bend to use it. I usually travel solo so I bought it to fit me. With the stove then a pan on top of that it is the perfect cooking height for me. If the table fails to meet my expectations I will update this review. Folding Table https://amzn.to/2Ki1MYn Butane Stove https://amzn.to/2v5YYch Butane 12 pack https://amzn.to/2ArunLc Cast i...

Cast Iron Skillet by Utopia Kitchen

https://youtu.be/F3-0cO4wFqY Click the photo ☝️to watch the YouTube video. This is Prius Wanderer reviewing the 10.25 inch Cast Iron Skillet by Utopia Kitchen. I purchased this frying pan on Amazon for $12.99 with free shipping. It includes a silicone grip for the handle.

Amazon has the best price hands down. The silicone handle cover is usually an additional cost at other stores, if they even have them. With free shipping on an item of this weight you really cant beat it. This pan is solid and has weight but not the wrist breaking weight I have found in many competitors products. It came preseasoned but I did foll...

Window Coverings: Preventing Solarization, Ventilation and Bug Screens

Image
YouTube Video click photo above ☝️ Windows can turn your vehicle into an oven. These are my strategies for preventing solarization, providing ventilation and keeping bugs out my Prius while car camping. Items I use in my Prius Rain Guards https://amzn.to/2LubCMs I began searching for Window Rain Gaurds to be able to ventilate my Prius both while driving in rain and while sleeping in the vehicle. I read many reviews and was a bit discouraged because I didn't want them to fly off going down the road because the 3m tape wasn't strong enough and I didnt want the in channel style. I found the WellVisors "stick AND clip" version and decided they would meet my needs. I watched a very good YouTube video for installation instructions and it went perfectly. Two suggestions: First, be sure to thoroughly clean the area you will be applying them to. A single swipe with the alchohol wipe is NOT enough. Clean it until the cloth isn't picking up any mo...

OxGord Paws and Pals 3 Wheel Pet Stroller Performance Review

https://youtu.be/9stHM_WuxYE Click the photo to watch my video Review  https://youtu.be/9stHM_WuxYE Click the photo to watch the video. OxGord Paws & Pals 3 Wheel Pet Stroller https://amzn.to/2NS6ZJo Amazon Affiliate link for the pet stroller. I may make a small commission at no cost to you. This is a light weight stroller. It folds down nicely. It is fine for 2 small dogs. I do NOT recommend for dogs close to 30lbs or more. This stroller does very well on paved surfaces and I find it comfortable to push at my height of 5'1". My 6 foot son pushed it and said it was fine but his larger hands found the handles to be small. The handles were fine for me. The description calls it a "Jogger". It does have nice sized wheels but I can't see getting a running stride going while pushing it. The stroller handles cobblestone walking paths like a champ. It did very well on the grassy area where we camped. It was acceptable on level stone but ...

OxGord Paws and Pals 3 Wheel Pet Stroller Unboxing and Assembly

Click the photo to watch the video. OxGord Paws & Pals 3 Wheeler Elite Jogger Pet Stroller Cat/Dog Easy Walk Folding Travel Carrier https://amzn.to/2NS6ZJo Amazon Affiliate link for the pet stroller. I may make a small commission at no cost to you. This is a light weight stroller. It folds down nicely. It is fine for 2 small dogs. I do NOT recommend for dogs close to 30lbs or more. Robbie (the chihuahua) and Joey (the chiweenie) were in it so of course Simon (the rat terrier) wanted a turn. I sat him in it and he started to quiver. The entire stroller shook and rattled like we were having an earthquake!! The description states that it is for small dogs. It was purchased for the littles so I'm not dissatisfied with it. I purchased a pet stroller for a few reasons. Robbie has a seizure disorder, can only walk for a few minutes and has to stay relatively cool. Joey can make it 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile. Simon needs a good 2 miles before he gets his energy drained....

Exped Megamat 10 MW Sleeping Pad Review

Image
Exped Megamat 10 Insulated Self Inflating Sleeping Mat MW (Medium Width). https://amzn.to/2KYW1Ej This is an Amazon Affiliate link to the MegaMat. I may make a small commission at no cost to you. I love this Exped Megamat 10 MW sleeping pad 💜 It measures about 4 inches high, 26 inches wide and 71 inches long. I have a Sleep Number mattress at home. I have several health issues which make sleeping difficult and often painful. I can not skimp where sleeping comfort is concerned. There is memory foam inside that is condensed when deflated and expands quickly when inflating. This is so much more comfortable and cozy than a plastic air bubble or a foam mat. The combination of the two is what makes it so comfortable. I position the mat so the air valves are at the head so I can easily adjust the firmness based on my pain level that day. The little hand pump is very easy to use and only takes a handful of easy squeezes to top off the mat after it self inflates. When I car...

BarksBar Pet Car Seat Cover Review  BarksBar Original Pet Seat Cover for Cars- Black, Waterproof and Hammock Convertible  https://amzn.to/2uaXVHB Amazon Affiliate Link: I will make a small commission and it will not cost you anything I purchased this BarksBar Pet Car Seat Cover in January of 2018 in preparation for extended car camping in my 2009 Prius with my 3 pups. I wanted a hammock style to discourage them from trying to get to the front seat. They all wear harnesses with leashes tied to the headrests for safety in case of sudden stops or an accident. I use it several times a week when transporting the pups to parks. I have owned it for 7 months at the time of this review. I highly recommend this very durable product. The only negative I have is minor. It had a chemical smell which aired out after a day or two.
