Description: To listen to this week's podcast, click the arrow below. https://girlcamper.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Girl-Camper-Gear-.mp3 On this weeks show I continue my spring gear guide and giveaway. I spied, tried and am reporting on some new products out there, some of my personal favorites and a few products with a cause behind them. Like last week I've broken my list down to what I consider Glamping items and Camping items. Considering I grew up in a canvas tent with a Coleman cooler, lantern and stove as "equipment" most of the things would have been considered "glamping" two decades ago but technology has impacted every arena of our lives including camping. I let you consider what where the items belong on your list! Glamping Para Kito Mosquito Repellent.  Para Kito makes a mosquito repellent bracelet without the use of harsh chemicals. The bracelets are filled with essential oils and naturally repel insects. I bought one last year when I was in Yellowstone because I hate having  Deet or any strong chemical on my skin or clothes. I thought they were very effective and I loved the pleasant odor. This year Para Kito launched a Party bracelet that is perfect for the beach at night,  alfresco dining, cocktail parties and summer weddings. No need to spoil the look of your nice outfit with a lime green or hot pink bracelet. Para Kito bracelets last two weeks and refills can be purchased at a cost of 2 for $13. They are sold at many retailers including REI, Amazon and Walmart. Para Kito is giving away five bracelets to Girl Campers. Go to their Instagram (Parakitousa) account and follow them and tag a friend. They will pick a winner and send out the prize. Copper Wire Fairy Lights When these lights first hit the market two years ago I invested in a few short strands. I love the light they give off and that the battery life is so long on them.  They had been selling for about $8-$10 for a short strand though and I like lots of lights. Lightsetc... is an Amazon seller that has the best bargain on these great lights. A 65' strand with over 200 lights for $8.59. They run on 3 AA batteries and will light for 30 hours on one set. They also have Modes that allow you to flash, fade, strobe and five other fantastic light show options.  Favorite find this spring!! Check them out here.  Man Can. The ultimate tailgate, camping, backyard picnic growler ever!! Keep your favorite home brew or micro brewery favorite bubbly for up to 30 days in this single layer steel growler. It's threaded, sealed top and the help of CO2 cartridges protect the integrity of your brew. You can add the tap and call it a party. I got this even though I am not a big beer drinker because I am a little hooked on seltzer carbonated homemade lemonades, and my own homemade ginger drinks. I love mixing up a batch of refreshing summer non alcoholic drinks that anyone can add a splash of vodka too if the mood strikes them. Often after I've gone to the trouble the leftovers get tossed because there is no way to keep the bubbles. Having a cold sparkling drink when i arrive at the campground and to offer a friend seemed like a great thing. I also like the size and that I can eliminate carrying lots of extra seltzer with me. Man Can is giving away a 64 oz. growler so head over to their Instagram (Mancanbeer) Hit follow and tag a friend. State Stickers - Teardrop Shop. The  Teardrop Shop has the classic USA Map that allows you to keep track of the states you've visited and add the month and year as well. I actually bought this for my office and maybe sometimes the trailer but I don't want to put it on the trailer. I bought a 12 x 18 White Board to mount it on and that will allow me to take it with me on the road if I want. I think this is a great gift for a Girl Camper or grandchild. It is something fun to keep in the kitchen and talk about over dinner. It's also just really cute for a kids bedroom. It's 19.95 at the Teardrop Shop.
