High Sierra Fat Boy Backpack

Just browsing the net and researching, of all things, backpacks!

I'm really into my backpacks as a keen hiker and I'm the proud owner of 5! My wife doesn't understand you cannot have enough backpacks!

This one though, the High Sierra Fat Boy Backpack, was researched for my son, who's off to college and needs a biggish bag to put all his stuff in one place.

He carries EVERYTHING about with him when away from home, and as he's taking computer science, he has enough weighty tomes to lugg about than a small mobile library!

So, this is one backpack I've given him a heads up about. So far he likes it, but as with most students, he wants to choose his own...something about being a young person who likes to take his own advice instead of a seasoned backpacker like me!

He'll choose a right stinker, I just know!

Anyway, I'm sure if he'd have seen this one first, before me, he would have jumped all over it!

The High Sierra Fat Boy can be seen below, it's a really tough and roomy backpack any student would be proud of.

The full review can be seen at the website below the pic, or indeed clicking on the pic itself.

A Quick Video of the 10 Essentials for Hiking

Hiking is my passion, and as I write Squidoo lenses, I thought I'd put up this video (link below) which outlines the 10 Essentials for Hiking in one of my resent articles.

It's not a great video, but it does go through the Top 10 of what is really important for the hiker to know.

Here's the video, any comments would be welcome!

Spot It Card Game Rules

The excellent highly addictive card game, Spot It has been ranked number one game on amazon for this Christmas 2012, but what are the Spot It Card Game Rules?

Below is a break down of what Spot it is and what the various game rules are.

To be honest, the Spot It Card Game Rules are pretty simple! Here goes!

 So, you can see this is one terrific game. The Spot It Card Games Rules are very easy so the whole family can get involved. There are several different sets of cards including Animals, NFL, Educational packs and Junior games.

The Spot It Card Game Rules above were scanned from my own game using the insert from the game itself. The source of the images originally come from Blue Orange Games.

Rock Musicians Biographies

I like to have a good read, and I'm partial to a good biography. I usually go for old actors or old explorers, but recently, I've been getting into Rock Musicians Biographies.

Boy there are some tales here! I must have read 20 biographies and autobiographies in the last year alone (I'm a rabid reader!)

Some of the stories are superb and just what I expected from the writers. Whilst some of the other books to which I was looking forward to a roller-coaster ride ended up with namby-pamby fairy story type affairs!

You wouldn't believe which rockers are completely mad and which ones are solid family types.

Fascinating stuff. My next read will be a biography from the prog rock phase, (Rick Wakeman) to see if this grumpy old man was a real Rock Star!

Mick Jaggers' book was a real eye opener for many reasons!

You can see my reviews here with enough books to get you started on this rock musicians biographies Odyssey!
