How not to launch a boat

by Leave a Comment

There are right ways and there are not so right ways to launch a boat, but this right here is one way how not to launch a boat.

Premium Cooler Market

What is going on in the Premium Cooler Market these days?  This is crazy if you are to ask me. Back in the day it was the old trusty Coleman. These days you have premium cooler companies popping up left and right trying to get you to shell out big bucks for something that is likely going to get stolen out of the back of your truck.

In a day where it hard to get to kids to go outside and play because of an electronic world, it is refreshing to see kids like these that still enjoy doing outdoor activities. They are also passionate about… ...Read More “RipSomeLips”
