If you enjoy spending time in the great outdoors, whatever the activity, be it hiking, backpacking, camping, canoeing, fishing, hunting, then you are familiar with Coghlan’s outdoor products.
I am, you say? Yep, for sure.
I mean, who hasn’t owned or used one of those on-top-of-the-grill toasters in camp? Of course you have. The original was made by (and still is) Coghlan’s.
Based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, the family-owned company has been making quality outdoor accessories since 1959. Lots of them in fact. I can’t even count how many items are in their various product lines.
But thinking about it now, I figure I have owned and used a lot of them over the years. It’s a long list. Check yours and I’ll bet you can tick off quite a few as well…
Candles and candle lanterns, compasses, first aid kits, survival blankets, egg carriers, knife/fork/spoon sets, can openers, stove toasters, salt & pepper shakers, fire starters, soap and toothbrush holders, ponchos, repair kits, cord, rope, bungees, whistles, stuff bags, tent peg…
Whew!
Here’s a few new products I just tested that you might be interested in adding to your outdoor gear supply:
Ultralight Tent Stakes
These super lightweight aluminum stakes are 9″ long so you can really drive them in deep for good holding power. And they come with an attached pull cord for easy removal. Comes in a set of 4 stakes. Just the thing for staking down not only your tent but a big tarp rig also.
Flint Striker
I thought only the die hard survival types would ever like this type of item, much less carry it anywhere. But after trying it I like it. it really does work! Gather up your dry tinder and scrape the flint with the metal striker and voila! Fire! Good for about 4,000 strikes. I’ll still carry my Bic lighter, yes, but I’ll pack this gadget along too when I know I’m gonna want a fire.
Tarp Clips
These handy widgets help you add an extra tie down point anywhere along a tarp, tent fly or plastic sheet. And you can do it without damaging the fabric. Just move the slider back, slip the clip onto the fabric, and secure by moving the slider back until it grips. Fast and easy. And lightweight too.
