REVIEW: JETBOIL or Compact Backpacking Stove?

I got to use Jetboil Fast ( https://amzn.to/3SUdZau ) Camping stove system and Compact Backpacking Stove ( https://amzn.to/3Rh0akN ) . It was essential in our kits as it quickly got water boiling for food in about 2 – 3 minutes. I also used a cooking cookware set with a kettle ( https://amzn.to/3ARt9WZ ) and a 750ML titanium compact cooking pot cup ( https://amzn.to/3R8IA28 ) to boil water. I used Coleman Performance cooking fuel ( https://amzn.to/3TlBoll ) for my compact stove.

The Jetboil Fast ( https://amzn.to/3SUdZau ) Camping stove system has fins on the bottom of the pot to collect heat. The pot is also covered by a cozy and a handle which makes it easy to pour and hold. I like how stable the base is with the feet that attaches to the Jetboil fuel ( https://amzn.to/3Pp84XG ) can base. There is a starter on the side of the stove as well as a dial for the valve to control the flame. Love this little stove to quickly make hot water for food and drinks.

Compact Backpacking Stove ( https://amzn.to/3Rh0akN ) was lighter and more versatile for cooking a pan, kettle, or other cookware on top of the stove. It did take longer to boil water than the JetBoil but it was also more compact and used generic fuel. It also had an ignition button and was very easy to use.

HOW TO: Super Comfy CAMPING SETUP (ok… Glamping Setup)

I wanted my camping experience to be super comfortable with friends and family. So when they invited me I made my camp tent to be really comfortable. My setup includes aims to be be fast setup, spacious for changing inside the tent, warm during the night, great sleeping, night light and power station for charging and powering my tents lights and devices.

For shelter, I got a four person pop up tent ( https://amzn.to/3J7bJbe ) that took 5 minutes to setup. I got a four person pop up tent tent so I have space to change clothing and even do a sponge bath inside my tent if necessary. It basically like a big umbrella that pops and locks in place. Setup and take down is extremely easy.

Before putting up the tent, you need a waterproof tarp ( https://amzn.to/3Q0JUnj ) to protect your tent from the ground moisture and dirt. I have a camping axe ( https://amzn.to/3BjhvEU )to drive the tent and tarp anchors down. Tip: bring a small brush to cleaning and dusting dirt off your tent, and shoes before going into your tent. Its also good to during packing up to clean the tent before packing it.

For my sleeping setup, I like very warm sleep. I have a my trusty Coleman Sleeping Bag ( https://amzn.to/3PU5QjH ), and my 10+ year old Therm-a-Rest Basecamp Self-Inflating Camping Sleeping Pad ( https://amzn.to/3vgeLUO ). This year, I added a 4lb lightweight camping cot ( https://amzn.to/3RXTKYZ ) to sleep on. It was more comfortable to sleep on the cot than on a air mattress. I put my sleeping pad on top of my cot.

I got a full size self-Inflating sleeping mats ( https://amzn.to/3vhAKut ) to place on my tent floor. This was better than kneeing on the hard ground, especially when there may be rocks. Last time, my knees got bruised. Its also good if you have want more sleeping space or work space.

For lighting and power, I have a pair of usb rechargeable mosquito zappers ( https://amzn.to/3oxnUVk ). It works well as a purple night light and as a powerful tent and camp light. I also use a NOVOO 148wh Power Station ( https://amzn.to/3IaWQnO ) to charge all my lights and mobile cell phone devices. I already own a Jackery Explorer 240 – Power Station ( https://amzn.to/3DVeKHW ) for the camp group use to charge their phones. However, I wanted something smaller and easier to have in my tent at night. I use my 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub with Individual LED Power Switches ( https://amzn.to/3PCw7DA ) to distribute power.

Overall, my camping setup is really comfortable and “glamping” as this is not really roughing it, but enjoying the experience. Normally the tent, sleeping mat, and sleeping bag are the main requirements.

REVIEW: Metal Mesh Watch Bands (20mm) for my Samsung WATCH 4

I finally got my Samsung Watch 4 (https://amzn.to/3afOZsv) its very convenient for health tracking, messaging, and fitness with my Samsung Galaxy Note 20 phone. I didnt like styling of the included silicone watch band and wanted to change it to a stainless steel mesh watch band to match the watch. I bought three metal mesh bands from Amazon to test out.

ORIbox Thin Mesh Watch band (20mm):
https://amzn.to/3yh2kcg

I like mesh bands and have worn metal mesh bands for my watches since my Skagen minimalistic watches https://amzn.to/3nHWRX6 that I wore since college. I wanted to replicate that on my new Samsung Watch 4.

The EACHE Stainless Steel Mesh Watch Band (https://amzn.to/3yKHtzt )
is one of the best ones of the three with a simple to use bracelet wrist band that expand and slides off your wrist. The locking mechanism is easy to adjust without tools. The finish of the mesh is really fine and not as shiny as the other brands, but matchs the Samsung Watch 4 siliver casing closest. This is my primary pick for a 20 mm metal mesh wrist band.

The BERNY Milanese Stainless Steel Mesh Watch Band (https://amzn.to/3ut9FnJ) is also a very good watch band with a quick release clasp. The mechanism is very similar to the Skagen locking clasp which I love. Adjustment of the wrist size will need a small stick or paper clip to unlock the latch. The mesh pattern is a little longer grains so it reflects more light making the chrome more brilliant. This is my second pick especially if you want the higher mesh shine.

Lastly is the ORIbox Thin Mesh Watch band (https://amzn.to/3yh2kcg). This thin watch band tapers after the mount point. So it makes the watch look lighter. This is good if you have a smaller 40 mm watch, but kind of strange for a 44mm and larger watch unless you have really small wrists.
The locking mechanism is also difficult to latch as I find it hard to direct the end of the band into the buckle.

Overall I kept the EACHE Stainless Steel Mesh Watch Band (https://amzn.to/3yKHtzt ) and BERNY Milanese Stainless Steel Mesh Watch Band (https://amzn.to/3ut9FnJ) as both are easy to use. They both also have quick release spring bars if I wanted to swap styles.
