Family Camping Equals Family Bonding

Best Family Tents
Bonding with your family can come in the form of camping, and what better way to do that than staying in the same tent together? You will need a family tent, of course - a tent that comes in larger dimensions than most standard tents. These best family tents can fit a bigger [...]

Are there any good places to RV camp in the Adirondacks outside of RV parks where you don?t have to pay?

Open Question: Cheap vs. expensive sleeping bags?

I'm going to be spending a month in Vietnam from July- August and need a sleeping bag for this time. I've been told to buy a season 2/3 sleeping bag for this. I already have a season 2 (according to the website I looked at) sleeping bag (it goes down to 0 degrees C) but it was only �14 odd from Tesco. I know in my heart that this probably won't be good enough, but could someone do a good job of convincing me to spend more on a sleeping bag if that's necessary? How much should I be looking to spend? I really need something small and lightweight.
Sorry, got confused reading the label- comfort rating 12.0-15.3 degrees C, extreme rating 0.2 degrees C

Open Question: Camping Fridge freezer?

Alright so for long turn I am wanting a outdoor Fridge and Freezer, now I have been trying for a LPG/power unit however while cheap, one ones I have found to buy don't hold a temperature I would need to keep food frozen, it might do well as a Fridge but wouldn't hold it for frozen food.

So looking at a few Waeco units and wanting something long term for a Freezer unit, what would be the best way to go for powering the unit, now a solar/battery setup would allow for charging and running, but would it do for long term? Keep note that I would be away from mains or the grid, I would also have a sine wave generator with me for powering laptops.

But with battery's, could I get away with only spending $200-300?

Ducks: On the Wing of the Storm

The ducks came from high in the sky, riding the winds, pushed on the front leading edge. Streaming in from the prairie provinces, and a few from the high arctic, the birds came down upon Superior and into the St. Marys. Here they stopped, some at least, and rested.

Open Question: Campsites that would allow a small group of 16-20 year old girls? - MUST BE IN ENGLAND?

I'm looking for a campsite that would allow a small group of 16-20 year old girls to stay there. Me and a few friends really want to go on a short break, but we haven't been able to find anywhere to stay as of yet as most sites we have looked at ask for somebody 21 or over. Ideally we want somewhere by the sea that we can pitch our tent and an electric hookup would be helpful, but also it would be good if there was some sort of leisure centre or holiday park nearby, so that we have something to do. e.g. somewhere like Brean sands or Skegness. if you have any suggestion please let me know, i'd be really grateful for any answers.

The good, the bad, the ugly: New infomercial gadgets

If there's one product category that we love covering at ConsumerSearch, it's As Seen On TV products. Here at the International Home and Housewares Show, we've found plenty of new and existing ASOTV products, some that seem legitimate and promising, others that probably are better left on the drawing board. We'll be posting new single-product reviews of some of these As Seen On TV goods in the coming months, but in the meantime, here is a rundown of just a few of the crazy gadgets and gizmos we've seen in Chicago.

Man-made 'clouds' to shade 2022 World Cup in Qatar?

Artist's illustration of the proposed Al-Shamal Stadium to be built in Ash-Shamal, Qatar f...

With the World Cup always held in the European off-season in June and July, the awarding of the 2022 World Cup to Qatar offers the prospect of players and spectators sweating through the hottest part of the year. Doha sees an average top temperature of 41 degrees Celsius (106°F) in these months with the possibility of top temperatures as high as 50°C (122°F). While shifting the World Cup to the cooler month of January has been mooted and since rejected, a team of engineering scientists from Qatar University (QU) have taken a more high-tech approach to solving the problem – they've reportedly developed a type of artificial "cloud" designed to float above the World Cup venues and provide fans and players with relief from the blazing sun. ..

Blood glucose meters: How accurate are they?

If you have diabetes, you may use a blood glucose meter to routinely check your blood sugar at home -- but is it accurate? Depends on whether you think a 20 percent margin of error is precise or not. That's the margin allowed by international standards -- and by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration -- which worries some experts since inaccurate readings can set patients up to a host of potential problems, such as seizures, unconsciousness and coma.

Video: Japanese tsunami destroying everything in its path

Filed under: ,



The aftermath of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami has been widely broadcast on TV news shows - images of wiped out towns and the total destruction of entire areas showed us the power of the quake and its resulting tsunami.

In this video, you'll see one of the most terrifying clips to date - showing just how devastating this natural disaster really was. From the slowly rising river waters to a massive torrent that destroyed everything in its path - this is one clip that will stay in your mind for a long time.

Riding the Craftsman Turn Tight lawn tractor (on astroturf, inside, in NYC)

Back in December, Craftsman invited us to an event showcasing its 2011 lawn and garden equipment lineup. It was right here in New York, because everyone in the city obviously needs a lawn mower and compact cordless chainsaw. Armed with the knowledge that we'd somehow get to demo a bunch of new garden toys, ConsumerSearch editor in chief Christine Frietchen and I pulled on our coats and headed to the studio for Craftsman's presentation. As we approached the door, I found myself wondering how this could possibly be interesting. Then we walked in to find a row of lawn tractors arranged next to an astroturf "test track." Hmm. Interesting.

Oatmeal Crackers

Repetition has been the theme around here lately. And you'll see why in just a minute. In a nutshell, my life has been dialed into one channel - it's called the "you have a cookbook coming out" channel. There's a lot going on, and the more unmanageable my in-box gets, the more I find myself craving moments of mindless repetition. The more mindless, the better. Roll-and-stamp cookies or crackers fit the bill nicely - like these oatmeal crackers. I've also started the process of assembling a thousand little postcard packets. I finish each one with a small piece of pink-striped tape, and I swear, I smile inside when each pack is completed. Simple pleasures.

Oatmeal Cracker Recipe

The postcards came about as I started thinking that it would be nice to have a little something on hand to give to people who make the effort to come out to a signing, or to give to friends I bump into out and about, or to mail to all the people who helped me test recipes. The guys at the print shop up the street from my house helped me make four different postcards, each featuring a different image from the book. I ordered a box of flat glassine bakery bags, a self inking stamp, and picked up some paper tape in Japan Town.

Oatmeal Cracker Recipe

As far as the postcards were concerned, I kept it simple - image on one side, then all-white back with a tiny super natural every day logo, and the words "stamp" and "postcard" micro-small. I wanted the bags to show a hint of the underlying image through them. Come to think of it, I wish they were a bit more transparent, but they work well enough. A semi-transparent kraft bag was another direction I was thinking about, but I had a hard time finding a good source with volume.

Oatmeal Cracker Recipe

So, I've been making postcard packets. And at the same time, I've been thinking about crackers. I like the recipe for Oatmeal Crackers in The Great Scandinavian Baking Book by Beatrice Ojakangas. I thought I might make them as part of a lunch menu I did for an event with Little Flower School and June Taylor yesterday. I'd top them with a spread (of some sort) in place of crostini. Well - I ended up doing the crostini from Super Natural Cooking instead, but I like these crackers enough that I wanted to share them. I have some tips and tricks I've come by to make them extra good.

Oatmeal Cracker Recipe

The concept for these crackers is straight-forward. You make a pot of oatmeal, combine it with rye & all-purpose flour and a few seasonings. Then work it all into a dough. When these crackers are at their best, they are full of toasty oat flavor, hearty and substantial. They are snappy not soft, and will keep for a week or more sealed tightly in a jar. But! To get them this way you need to roll the dough as thin as you possibly can. And then you need to bake the crackers to within an inch of their lives - dark, dark golden. Can you see how thin I've rolled the dough up above there? Work it even thinner if you can.

Oatmeal Cracker Recipe

You can cut the crackers into whatever shapes you like. And you can either bake them bumped up next to each other, or spaced out. I make strip shapes for cheese plates and spreads, and tiny animal crackers for my nephew from the scraps.
