Whether you are taking the family on a short day trip in the car, or heading out to the cottage for a long weekend, a 12 volt car cooler comes in handy as a way to keep cold beverages, snacks and sandwiches cool throughout the trip. Some car coolers even perform double duty as both a cooler and a heater, keeping warm food warm. Make sure to buy a cooler that comes with an AC adapter so that you can use the cooler at the cabin or campsite in lieu of a fridge.

Coolers vary in shape from upright fridge models to portable models with straps, to the traditional cooler shape.

Spending a glorious day at the beach doing nothing but relaxing and soaking up the sun, surf and sand sounds like a great way to enjoy life. But like all good things, the key is moderation. A canopy beach chair is a good idea as protection against not only the sun, but also the rain and wind. Some of the better quality canopy chairs also feature UPF 50+ lining for maximum sun protection. So not only can you enjoy your day at the beach, a canopy chair is also great for camping and attending your son or daughters sporting events.

There is something so peaceful and calming about rocking in a rocking chair. Combine that with a warm night with a breeze, and you have perfection. Thanks to portable folding rocking chairs, you can feel this type of comfort on the patio or at the camp ground. As a general rule, lighter chairs are more portable, but heavier ones tend to be more comfortable. Pick accordingly.
