Promising review: "Finally had a chance to use my new portable toilet and was very surprised at how well it worked in our little cabin! Going from a bucket-type toilet was like night and day. Used it for three weeks and emptied it once a week, although it would have lasted longer. Was very easy to set up and use, and was easy enough to empty without a mess. Best of all it did not smell up the cabin, so I am very pleased with this product and would recommend it to others. " —Robert

Promising review: "I'm in the US Marine Corps. I had to spend a week in the field with no access to a power source. I bought this product in hopes that it would be able to keep my phone charged throughout the duration of my field ops. It performed perfectly and did everything I expected it to. I also had a 10,000 mAh backup battery pack. I used the Anker charger to charge up my battery pack during the day then I would charge my phone with the battery pack when I had time. With two hours of direct sunlight it was able to charge my back up battery to full charge every day. So basically I kept my phone charged using it consistently for over a week with no power source other than the sun." —Grant D

Promising review: "We laid the mat out on the beach, put our beach towels on top. Each time we came out of the ocean, we stood on the mat, knocked the sand off our feet, and it went right through the mat back into the ground, leaving us sand-free towels to sit on. Awesome!" —Steve F

Promising review: "This is a great outdoor tent for the summertime. At night it maintains a good temperature and feels very structurally sound. It is roomy enough to put everything you need in there, such as a bed and a nightstand. I would recommend this to any outdoors lover." —Anthony Huynh

Promising review: "This is the most delicious backpacking food! Way better than Mountain House. I love that it's made in the USA (Maine!). I like that you can get meals you can't find in any other brand. The salt is still a little high, but better than other brands. When you consider how many electrolytes you need after a day of sweating on the trail, it's well worth it." —Liz

Promising review: "The kit offers a one-stop survival shop, or in other words a self-contained basic survival kit. The housing is solid and each of the canisters is refillable. The light is much brighter than I thought it would be, but I did leave the batteries out for leakage reasons. The compass is slow but accurate and easy to read. Overall, it is a great fit with my other go-bag items, one with I hope I never need but is worth the price." —gabriel murphy

Promising review: "After a four-day camping/hiking/canoeing trip with this, I'm very happy with it. This became the go-to stove almost immediately, even though my three buddies also packed their stoves. Quick and easy to use, never at a loss for fuel, no wondering how much is left in the tank, and it kept all our cameras powered up for the trip. I do recommend getting the kettle for it." —phil
