I have been in and out of scenarios where I needed a cooler to keep some of my edible items cool for a long period of time.

Ever gone on a camping or hiking trip alone? It’s not very fun (at least for some) and can be a little scary too. That being said, I tried bringing my dog along once, but I had problems halfway -- he’s too little and I found it difficult to carry him along with my other stuff.

I love the summer and the vibes it comes with, there’s nothing better than just sitting at the beach gazing at the sun and drinking my mojito. When I was a kid, my father took me everywhere, and my favorite place was the beach.

As I grew older, I started to appreciate different aspects of the beach, and the time spent in the water was replaced with grabbing the best beach chairs I could find and my favorite book.

Today I will share with you some of the best chairs that can be used at the beach and even for camping or fishing, etc.
