Keeping Everyone Afloat and Safe
There’s nothing more fun than cruising around a lake on a hot summer day, but marine activities can quickly be spoiled if you aren’t demonstrating safe water behavior. That’s why you should make sure that everyone onboard a boat has a life jacket either on or in immediate reach in case the worst happens. Like any safety products, it’s always best to have it available, even if you never end up needing it.
But what many people forget is that animals need that kind of protection too. So if you’re taking your dog out on the boat with you, make sure that he or she is also wearing a life jacket. After all, life vests aren’t just for humans. They can also save your animal’s life as well. And especially since your dog is likely to panic if something unexpected happens, it’s a good idea to have him fully strapped into his floatation gear. This will stop him from going under, but it will also stop him from pushing you under if he ends up trying to climb up on you for safety.
“Rite in the Rain” Paper Products Rock!
Rite in the Rain 135 Pad
If you spend any time outdoors in damp, humid or wet conditions and have the need to write down stuff like grid coordinates, observations, log data, maintain a roster or other reference info then you should consider using Rite in the Rain products. No more soggy and illegible paperwork for you.
Write in the rain products come in several different form factors. From blank copy and printer paper, labels, bound and loose leaf pads and kits for travelers, sportsman and the military. Rite in the Rain products appeal to a wide variety of outdoor occupations and enthusiasts such as explorers, mountain climbers, hikers, military, surveyors, pool maintenance technicians, soccer coaches and managers, divers, wildlife managers, lumberjacks and fisherman to name a few.
I’ve been using Rite in the Rain paper for two years and it never fails me. I’ve carried a pad around in my shirt pocket for six months and it looks as good as the day I bought it. I also use the Rite in the Rain pen, which is made by the Fisher Space Pen company for J. L. Darling who makes Rite in the Rain products. The pen will even write under water!
