Review and Giveaway: (Canada only) Coleman's Fyrecadet 2 Burner Propane Stove

While looking for an outdoor propane stove for when we are out with the RV and want to cook outdoors, we came across the Coleman Fyrecadet 2 burner propane stove. 

It has large burner diameter for wider heat distribution and more even cooking. It also has uniform flame holes which give it a larger heating area. The burner design will also help with wind exposure, which is great for your outdoor cooking.The new technology in this stove eliminates the need for the side panels. And will allow for bigger pots and pans to be used on it. 

There is a cooking space that allows for a 12 inch pan on one burner and a 10 inch one on the other. It is an aluminized cooktop that is very easy to clean too. It has independent burners, with separate controls. You can use it to boil or to simmer. The Fyrecadet stove uses propane cylinders to heat. 

We cooked some veggies in a pot while bbqing on the deck, just to try it our before we take it on the road next month. It really is quite a nice stove.

It will be great to have while traveling and we highly recommend this make and model for camping on the road.

This NEW Innovative stove is available @ Walmart or Canadian Tire

Before and After: Our RV Window Coverings

Did some more changes in the RV living room and kitchen nook area.

Top 4 Reasons You Need Life Insurance

Every day, we talk to individuals who need life insurance. Often, these individuals don’t know which type of life insurance they need or how the process works.

However, they always know one thing: they know the reason they need life insurance. When an individual comes to us, they often need guidance. We always start the conversation with a simple question. "If you die tomorrow, what do you need this money to do?" This may sound like a harsh question, but mostly it helps us have a better understanding of the reason someone needs coverage.

Here are the top answers we hear.

Leave my family mortgage free.

A mortgage is usually a family's largest liability. Owning a home free and clear will make sure your family is not uprooted from their home. Paying off your mortgage will also eliminate your family's largest monthly bill.

Fund my child's future education.

College is not cheap, and it’s getting more expensive every year. Life insurance can make sure your children have a chance to get the best education possible.

Replace my income.

Can your family pay their bills without your income? If they can't, we recommend buying at least 10 times your annual salary in life insurance death benefit.

Pay for my final expenses.

Funerals can be expensive, and most people don't want to stick their family with burial costs. The death of a loved one is hard enough without having to worry about your burial costs, which can be well over $10,000.

When trying to figure out the reason you need life insurance, always ask one question. What do you need the money to do if you die? Everyone needs the money to do different things. Once you ask yourself that question, you will know the reason you need life insurance.

Review: Monplaisir Delicacies, Calgary, Alberta

Review by: Erika 

I pass by the Monplaisir Delicacies store everyday in Calgary's TD Square so I was pretty excited when I had the opportunity to review some of their french macarons!!

The staff at the flagship store were friendly and eager to help. I picked out 12 macarons from the colourful display case that housed 22 delectable flavours.

Upon opening the box at home, I was greeted with a stream of vibrant colours and an aroma of flavours , including one of Monplaisir's best sellers, Pistachio. After my first bite, I couldn't stop - the french macarons were so tasty!! Some of my favourites included the Nutella and coconut flavours while my boyfriend Jon really enjoyed the dark chocolate and moka flavours. 

Monplaisir's french macarons are made with 95% Canadian ingredients and privilege local and organic suppliers directly from their brand new 2,700 square foot facility.

I've loved macarons ever since my first trip to Paris in 2013 and I would definitely recommend Monplaisir Delicacies if you're looking for authentic, quality tasting french macarons!!

Review: Weber Q1200

Traveling south soon, and doing alot of camping, Gerry wanted to make sure he had a portable grill with us. ( He does all the bbqing). We did have a cheaper model from a local store, but when presented with an opportunity to review Weber's Q1200, he was most interested.

The Weber Q1200 is the perfect grill for home use, traveling, or camping. It's compact and convenient to use this grill. It is fully assembled right out of the box so that is really great. Bonus!

It has one stainless steel burner and has plenty of room for cooking on. It also has 2 fold out work tables on the side, which are good to keep your supplies, etc, on while grilling. The 1200 has an electric, easy start ignition. It uses a disposable cylinders to fuel it, that you can purchase separately.

It also comes in a variety of colors too. From black, green, orange and more colors! I love the orange one we have- reminds me of Fall yet still a bit of a sunny, cheery color.

There are more item specifics such as a built in lid thermometer and removable catch pan. There are a lot of other features to the Weber Q 1200, that we really like. We plan on using it this Fall/Winter when we travel south in the RV. But and Gerry has already been trying it out. Loves it and  he says the Weber Q1200, although more expensive than our last one is of much better quality.

Thumbs up Weber!

Cons: none!

Pros: - large grill area for it's size

         - side trays a good feature

          -heavy cast iron grill

          -durable construction

          -provided accurate heat control

          -very comparable to bigger grills

Review: Ohuhu Anti Shock & Retractable Trekking Poles

Review by: Monique and Gerry

When Gerry and I go south next month, we wanted to have some walking poles for walks/ hiking. Besides for the obvious use of walking with them, they could also come in handy to fend off off leash dogs, or wild animals that appear to be a threat. We've read these accounts many times that it is better to be with something than without. However, for their obvious use, the Ohuhu Anti Shock & Retractable Trekking Poles, are perfect for hiking. They are made from light aluminum, and are strong, durable and sturdy. The poles are also extendable and are really ultralight. Which will make it easier to pack and you won’t get as fatigued from carrying these.

Ohuhu poles are shock absorbing from the anti-shock mechanism. It helps reduce strain on hands and wrists. Which is great for people who have weak joints or previous sports injuries. It is also perfect for downhill hiking. It is also good for trekking, backpacking and climbing.

Soft EVA foam handgrips with wrist straps absorbs moisture. And are very comfortable to hold. They can be used in high altitudes and cold weather. The poles are weather resistant and free from temperature influence. They also have corrosion prevention. We look forward to using them on a regular basis while on our travels.
