Minn Kota Riptide SP Bow-Mount Trolling Motor with CoPilot and Autopilot (55-lb Thrust, 48" Shaft) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Good trolling motor, lots of power, handles my 16' fiberglass center console well. I highly recommend getting the Autopilot feature...it was worth the extra $200. It's nice being able to point the motor in one direction and having it go there w/o constant adjustments. Turning around is easy too, just turn the motor 180 degrees and it will bring the stern around by itself; all you have to do is fish!

The Original Umbrella Stand - Use Anywhere, Sand or Grass, Easy to Use, Yellow with Thumbscrews Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This probably the best umbrella stand I've seen for use in the grass or dirt.

Pros:
1. The tines are very easy to anchor into even very hard turf by just stepping on the stand.
2. Great for soccer games, picnics, baseball games
3. Can be used with any umbrella.

Cons:
1. It's made of metal and a little heavy.(but it's really sturdy)
2. As another reviewer noted, it's not great for soft sand. You may have to dig a little hole first and then anchor it.
3. I wish there was a cover for the anchor points for when you carry it around. I just put a bag on the end so I don't poke anyone.

Overall it's a great umbrella stand that my family uses every weekend at the kids' games and practices.

Highly recommended!

Product Description:
In the early 1950's, Dick Kelty made backpacks for his friends in the Sierra Club. Time and experience proved that hiking was more pleasurable when the hiker could carry heavy loads without shoulder pain. This was accomplished with Kelty's ideas of a hipbelt and light weight aluminum frames. A few of Kelty's popular items are backpacks, adjustable poles, rain covers for backpacks, camp pillows, fanny packs, a carport tent or shelter, Thermolite Quallo sleeping bags,and chuckwagon dog packs.

Kelty Yellowstone 4 Footprint Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received the footprint today and was disappointed in the material which is the same as the tent.It does have multiple ways to tie down the footprint, but for the price, it does not deliver the value.I found other footprints made of heavier material at 20% of the cost.The light weight might be an advantage for backpackers.Also there are no instructions as to how the mulitple tie-downs could be used with the tent.The one other advantage is that it fits the footprint of the tent unlike other generic footprints. If I had the oportunity for a do-over, I would not make this purchase.

Kelty Trail Dome 4 Four Person Tent Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Price: $159.99 at local Sports Authority

Weather Conditions: Cloudy, with sunbreaks. 2 days car camping.

Weight: Fairly light. 8 lbs.

Set-Up: The strength and durability of the aluminum poles are definetly worth the investment.You don't have to worry about snapping the poles unlike the fiberglass poles.I recommend putting the poles in the base "fastex" clips first, and then attaching the plastic clips on second.It's not really clear in the instructions.If you just bought this tent, I recommend practicing pitching the tent a few times.The first run took almost 30 minutes.I was able to set up this tent in under 10 minutes by myself. Always, always use a footprint or tarp when camping to save you from damaging the tent floor and moisture from the ground.Be sure to sweep your area of pine cones and small rocks.I also recommend getting beefier stakes.I've read the MSR Groundhog stakes are nice, but I got some $3 plastic ones at Walmart for a set of 6.

Tent fly: I like how the tent fly "clips" into the fastex clips at each corner.Also, I've read complaints of how the tent fly doesn't provide a good awning if you decide to step out during the rain.Pay attention to the color coded straps that will tell you how the tent fly is installed.

Front opening:The zipper of the opening is overstretched near the top.I was nervous that the zipper couldn't handle the stress of the two poles stretching it.I had to use a fastex clip with a strap (similar to the cross strap on a backpack) to wrap around the poles and pull them together to relieve the stress on the zipper.That solved the problem.

Storage compartments inside the tent:There are 4 mesh pockets at each corner of the tent.But they're aren't any hooks near the top of the tents if you wanted to hook a lantern to the roof.

Inside Space:I'm 5'7" and I was able to stand up completely with my head crouched a little bit.This is truly a 2 person camp with gear. I was able to fit a queen size air mat with no problems.The zipper wasn't as quiet as I hoped it to be. It still sounded like a zipper being pulled.The zipper was very smooth once I adjusted the two poles with the plastic strap.I didn't see any condensation the next morning, so I guess the tent vents very well.

Suggestions for design:This would be a perfect tent if it had a vestibule to store dirty clothes, boots, etc. A 2nd door would be nice, too.

Overall, I think I'll upgrade the the Kelty Gunnison 4.1 since it has a vestibule and a 2nd door.This is a nice tent for the camper on a budget.

Product Description:
An ideal family-camping tent that offers a view of the stars at the campground or in the backcountry, the Kelty Trail Dome 4 features a simple pole design and clip-sleeve construction that make it a snap to pitch. Offering spacious room for four, the Trail Dome 4 has a 55 square foot floor area (but does not include a storage vestibule). It features internal storage pockets, mesh ceiling, gear loft loops, side-release buckle tent-fly connection, noiseless zipper pulls that resist jingling when it's windy, and color-coded clip construction with DAC DA17 aluminum poles.


The Kelty Trail Dome 4 four-person, three-season tent. The DA17 pre-bent poles are made of proprietary aluminum alloy designed by DAC specifically for tents, which provides a large diameter pole with high stiffness, strength and durability at an affordable price. The clip construction provides great fly separation and increased air movement, and it makes it easier to set-up your tent but offers less strength than full-length sleeves. The clips connecting the poles to the tent are color-coded so set-up is easy and quick in low light conditions.
The Water Tight Wall (WTW) construction keeps the doors and windows from leaking, even in driving rain. All exposed walls are constructed of coated fabrics with the seams shingled downward to shed water. Exposed windows and doors have wide flaps covering the edges so they won't leak at the zipper even in high winds. Kelty's ArcEdge construction lifts floor seams up off the ground, preventing water seepage around the floor and wall seams. Taped seams on the floor and the rainfly ensure that the tent is protected from moisture and wet weather.
