5 Stars Terrific Tarp
Great design&liteweight make this tarp perfect for solo trekkers who need a sturdy&lrg sq ft. The Nite Ize cord clips work great,I even bought an extra set.Just be sure to always keep the tarp well secured to prevent leaks from pooled water,and exessive flapping which can lead to damage and a wet nite in the wilds!
4 Stars Nice tarp for ultralight backpackers; Not so spacious, though
Got this tarp for my 30th birthday and took it out the next weekend to use for an overnighter on the Uwharrie Trail. For a single person overnight, this tarp is awesome. With four stakes, four guy ropes, and no poles, this thing weighs next to nothing and fits anywhere in or on my backpack. I didn’t set it up as pictured; instead, I staked three corners to the ground to form a triangle, and used my trek pole to hold up the fourth corner. This worked well because I oriented the sides staked to the ground so that the open end was out of the wind. There are numerous guy points all over the tarp. Since I had only used one rope for the initial setup, I attached two more along the middle axis of the tarp and then tied them to a tree to give me a little more space inside.
A word to the wise, though: Kelty has some illustrations showing how you can fit a BUNCH of people under this tarp. I tried setting the tarp up several different ways in my back yard, and I think that more than two people might feel a little crowded with any configuration.

5 Stars Best Vollyball system I’ve ever owned!!!!
Easy to install and works as advertised. I was a bit skeptical about the sturdiness of the vollyball posts (no guy wires and no digging holes with cement) but once you insert the ground plate into the ground (with a 10″ spike welded to the plate) and then drive the 24″ aluminum spike through the plate’s collar, the posts become extremely solid. The net was easy to put up and overall installation was about 15 minutes. Make sure you set up the rope perimeter first!!! This will allow for minor adjustments before you start driving the spikes. Also, the rope perimeter provides the correct distance for width of net (plates are to be installed 20″ in from rope perimeter.
Some concerns:
The instructions for installation are poor. There is a metal piece that fits over the 24″ aluminum spike that is used while driving the spikes into the ground. I found this out afterwards.
The directions call for a large hammer — Better to use a sledge!!! Also, make sure you don’t drive the stake even with the plate’s collar. The picture is not really clear but the stake should remain about 1″ above the collar.
Overall — the design and quality far exceed the poor directions. We have been using the vollyball system for about 3 weeks and love it!!! 5 stars to no guy wires!!!
5 Stars Awesome volleyball set!
We’ve been through several volleyballs sets over the years; they all end up trashed in no time, and the net never is as tight as you want it to be. The Mongoose set is the best portable set we’ve had! And no guy wires! The directions do have a bit to be desired, but once you figure it out, it’s awesome. Highly recommended.
Stretchrite Sport Stretching Tool
Wednesday, August 26th, 2009Stretchrite Sport Stretching Tool
As its name implies, the Stretchrite stretching tool from SPRI is designed to help align your pre- and post-exercise stretches, and increase flexibility. Fashioned from a durable webbing strap with ergonomic plastic grips, the tool is suitable for leg, arm, shoulder, and back stretches. It’s also designed to help you gauge your progress, whether you’re in sports-injury recovery or top physical form.
An improvement over simple webbing straps, the Stretchrite is very easy to grasp by its colorful purple and yellow grips. Their design lets you adjust tension mid-stretch, as well as track how your flexibility is progressing. You can also secure one end of the strap over a closed door for deltoid, arm, and chest stretches. Reasonably light weight at just one pound, the Stretchrite fits easily into a suitcase or gym bag. The included full-color activity diagram is a great way to get started safely, and includes a sport-specific stretching guide. –Emily Bedard

4 Stars Strong
This stretching rope does not stretch on it’s own but is extremely well designed and strong. During my physical therapy I used another device that broke, so I am glad I found this to replace it.. the strap is wide enough so it does not cut into your foot and the beads on the side give you a firm grip and gives you a guide as to how well you are progressing. An excellent tool for therapy or just stretching!
5 Stars Great stretching tool
This is the same type tool used in physical therapy, and so much better than trying to use a towel or a belt to stretch with.
