Product Reviews: Periodically, we receive samples from various suppliers and vendors requesting that we review and/or test their products. Follow the link to read our reviews. Thanks!
I do owe a review on Greenbelly Meals. I haven’t been able to get out on the trail over the past several weeks and I really don’t like to write reviews for items I may potentially use while out backpacking. So, I should be able to get out in a few days and be able to write the review shortly after that. I’ve also received some samples for a protein bar – Rxbar (a whole food protein bar).
Periodically, I receive samples from from a company in Seattle that contracts with various vendors and I’m asked to write reviews on the products I receive. I’ve been notified by my Seattle contact, that I’ll be getting a package, sometime soon, with some clothing items. The clothing is insect-repellent, moisture-wicking and snag resistant.It will be provided by a company called Haeleum.
I’m looking forward to getting out in the woods and on the trail, trying some new (to me) products and reporting back my findings and impressions.
