Start your next campfire with a pull of string

NEWS – Campers, hikers, and other outdoor warriors know that it’s important to have the basic survival skills and gear when they are on their adventures. Water, food, shelter, and fire are probably the four main things you need. But if you’re not in the same category as someone who signs up for the show Naked and Afraid, what do you do about fire if it’s windy, or the wood is wet?

That’s where the Pull Start Fire Pull-String Fire Starter kit from Huckleberry will both save and FRY your bacon! Just pull out one of these bad boys, stick it in the center of your wood teepee, yank the string, and in 30 minutes you’ll have a blazing fire without needing matches or a lighter, even if you’re in 200+ MPH winds or a tropical storm.

The Pull Start Fire Pull-String Fire Starter kit comes in a pack of 3 starters and is priced at $18 from Huckleberry.com or Amazon.

IKEA wants to transport your living room to the “Upside Down” with the Real Life Series

NEWS – I’m a huge fan of the Netflix series “Stranger Things” so I was intrigued when I saw that IKEA had recreated the Byers family’s iconic living room ahead of Season 3’s July 4th return. Not only did they recreate the room as part of the IKEA Real Life Series, but you can buy each piece to put in your very own house.

They have everything you need to bring the room to life, from the infamous letter wall, Christmas lights, chairs and coffee table. Altogether there are 21 different pieces, and IKEA says the cost is approximately $1,441.54.

IKEA says this about the Real Life Series, “We brought to life the iconic living rooms of the most beloved families of all times, through tons of furniture combinations in lots of different styles and sizes – and at affordable prices.” There are two other iconic living rooms that you can recreate from “The Simpsons” and “Friends”.

Just imagine sitting in the Byers living room and watching what is sure to be the television event of the summer.
